There should be a distinction between manufacturer's instruction which are necessary for the operation and safety of the product and those which are just intended for general information.
do all ovens need a cooker switch
- Thread starter psmk2
- Start date
That would help, if it 'worked' - and there's probably never been anything stopping them doing that (even pre-Amd3, had they mentioned something as 'not essential', one presumably would not have had to do it) . However manufacturers, as well as electricians, have 'backsides', so, if they did categorise the information in that way, they might well claim that most things came into the former category, just to 'cover themselves'!

Yes, true and I suppose most products do contain nuts.
No rcd......its the old wire type fuses. Im sure i can buy a tripper from b&q that just slots in though. ...not 100% but will look into it
Indeed. Mind you, interestingly, changes in the food labelling regulations have been attempting to put a stop to that nonsense - since it was/is totally counter-productive for those who have serious nut allergies. Maybe some regulation about MIs will try to follow that same path one day!

Will that mean an end to the hilarity of getting a bag which on the front in large letters says something like "salted peanuts" or "honey roasted cashews", and in small print on the back "Warning: contains nuts"?
AIUI many equipment standards require a "means of disconnection" to be provided. This may be either a suitable switch on the appliance, a plug and socket connection or in the case of fixed appliances a switch in the fixed wiring.
Probably not. Since such a product does contain nuts, the warning, although totally silly, is not going to confuse anyone about the presence/absence of a significant risk.
Those with serious allergies know full well that it is conceivable that virtually any foodstuff, particularly if factory produced, may have come into contact with traces of nuts and that such is a risk that they have to live with. What they need is an indication of when the risk is greater than that tiny 'background' risk - and a manufacturer who puts "cannot guarantee nut free" on all their products (without any specific good reason), just to 'cover themselves', is not helping at all in that respect.

Wouldn't that then be the manufacturer's instructions?
I don't think you will find an electrical regulation for a local means of isolation - cooker switch.
