the heating element in the ovens ? Are you sure you need ALL of the

cooker

ON just to make lunch ?


Yep 16kw, the one I used as an example has 5 rings on the top and 3
ovens/heaters. I didnt say this was needed, obversly if its there you have
to make sure theres some failsafe in case soemone decides to switch it all

There is. Its called an MCB and it goes on the far end of the cable.
