Hi,
Probably a daft question but I'm going to ask anyway. We have moved into a new property which has an immersion heater, we're just not sure how it works exactly. One picture below shows a 'main switch' located in the kitchen which is obviously the immersion main on/off switch and the other...

Oh it's not a...
