Hi! I hope somebody can help out there.
I have just had a new kitchen put into my flat which has had the oven built in, but when I asked the electrician why there was no on/off switch on the wall next to it, as I would have always expected, he told me that the "switch is behind the oven, as that is how it's done these days". He said that it can be switched off at "the consumer box".
Is it really "the way it's done these days" or am I being fed a line but if so, does it really matter where the on/off switch is? Or has he made a mistake and forgotten to put one in and is just covering his tracks? Also, does the "switch behind the oven" comply with the proper regulations?
Any help that could be given to settle my mind would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
John
