I've searched around for the answer to this but haven't found it
as
yet: is there any regulation concerning placing a small
wall-mounted
12V TV set in a kitchen?

I have a blank area above a draining board, partly protected from
splashes and steam by a 6" deep shelf which runs the length of
that
wall. It seems like the obvious place to mount a smallish TV, say
17" or so. There are specially-designed water- and steam-proof
sets
intended for bathrooms but would one of them be overkill for a
kitchen? Is there any reason why I shouldn't use a conventional
set?

Many thanks.






Might be OK as there is not really that much steam emitted from a
sink, other than when you drain boiling water into it. Try dumping
a
pan of water down the sink and see where the steam cloud goes.

I've had two kitchens with TVS so far. Mount high up LCDs beat CRTs
for
safety .

Nevermind safety, a TV won't last so long if it's damp all the time.
Put
it somewhere dry or get a damp proof one if it's not much more
expensive.

we've had a tv in our kitchen for years -but it isn't over the sink.

Do you ever have four pans boiling and the room full of steam?

Nope, never. The most I ever have is a massive great 36L stockpot that I
use to make the marmalade in boiling and that doesn't come even close
to filling the room with steam even if I haven't turned the exhaust fan
on.

I've often known families of 4 have all the hobs in use.

All furiously boiling what is in them ? Don't believe if.

Anyone with even half a clue uses the microwave for the veg now
and doesn't boil the veg to death on the stove top anymore.

And Bert clearly doesn't do that anyway, and that's what matters.

I guess if you have a decent extractor hood over the cooker and always
use it you'd be fine.

And he'll be fine even if he doesn't do that. I have a laptop
in the kitchen and it has never had any problems at all and
neither have any of the other electrical appliances either.

Then why does electronics have warnings about high humidity?

So they can tell you to **** off when you are actually
stupid enough to end up with lots of corrosion causing
it to fail. That isnt going to happen in Bert's kitchen.
