UK Fitting a timer to an electric aga so it can't be used in the night

[mainline]

A few months ago I fitted a change over switch to an electric oven/hob and a converted to electric aga stove, stopping them being used at the same time.

I've now been asked to fit a timer so that the Aga can't be left on overnight.

I'm not happy to do this for various reasons, but can anyone think of any regs I could quote.

Induction hobs are fantastic
However they are not suitable for use by people with pace makers, so that may limit some applications, particularly short term letting.

Or by people who take their own favourite aluminium frying pan on holiday with them. Believe me, it has happened.
In the holiday cottage business, KISS definitely applies. Never underestimate the stupidity of some members of the public.

That applies to SO MANY aspects of life!

To be fair, if they have never come across induction hobs before then they wouldn't know you have to use special pans.

You would also imagine that folks who have a favourite frying pan, that is so special they take it with them on holiday, would know!

Perhaps it's got sentimental value. Maybe an elderly relative bequeathed it to them

They think the supplied one might be too small for their needs, or it's a Wok type thing that they think mightn't be supplied at all (they would be right).
History now, since the one induction hob has been replaced by a conventional one.
