Hi all, hope someone can help with this particular question.
Here's the situation - my 2kw bathroom fan heater recently stopped working so I purchased a new 2kw fan heater and installed it no problem.
The thing is after installation I noticed that the instructions (in very small type I might add) ask for the supply to the heater to be connected to a double pole switch.
Now, as it stands at the moment, I installed the heater just like the previous one i.e. the supply comes straight out of a blank 13 amp outlet to the heater.
Is the switch strictly necessary, in other words, is the heater dangerous as it's currently installed?
Thanks in advance. Thomas.
