I'm planning a new kitchen, in which there will be separate gas hob and electric double oven. I know the rules regarding installation by competent persons, special locations etc - at this point I'm just planning layouts.
I'm assuming the oven will need a dedicated circuit and an isolator (ie can't run off a 13A socket). I seem to remember that the isolator needs to be within 2m of appliance and accessible. Is this the case and is it ok to fit the isolator above the wall units behind a pelmet, ie accessible if you stand on a chair?
If we go for a single oven that can run from a 13A supply, would this need an accessible isolator?
Does the hob supply need to be isolated in the same way or can this run from a socket behind the cupboards?
TIA
