double pole control unit

[sparky114]

Wiring a 2.2kw electric oven.. instruction manual states for warranty to be valid needs a double pole control unit.
There is a double socket inside one of the cubbords; is it ok to spur of this double socket to feed the double pole control unit?

Easier than that:- Make sure or change the socket to a DP switched socket and just plug the oven plug top in. All regs are met.

The socket doesn't need to be switched at all, pulling a plug out gives a far better isolation gap than any switch will

How is the DP socket wired, is it a spur from a ring final?? recommendations are that 2KW and above are fed from their own individual circuit.

IMO the socket should be un switched in this case though or a double pole switched socket like Paul said.

first we need to know if this oven has a factory fitted plug or not.
