Al im sorry weve taken the mick a bit please forgive us , its an idea but as some of the reasons have been pointed out especially the one paul made regarding labling i would stick to the normal just my opinion

 

[ALH]

back to question about chip pan fire!! if it has caught fire turning power off aint going to do much!! its too hot already and best bet is get ---- out and dial 999!! or wet towel approach!!!

wet towel and turn ring off at cooker. no use thinking " is it electric or gas hob, where's the switch"

OK forget the chip pan example and imagine if there was obviously a loose connection in the cooker fizzling and crackling away, or some other nondescript reason why you might want to turn it off in a hurry - surely better to instantly know where to turn it off rather than have to play 'bellringers'?

 

[telectrix]

eggs accly. pull cords are prone to snap or fail to switch anyway.

 

[ALH]

Do you really believe that if someone fits a switch - of whatever type - he won't know where it is when he needs it? Emergency switch or not, we always switch off when the cooker isn't in use.

Probably not the person who fits it, maybe a house guest or the next person who lives there.

aint switched the cooker isolator off in the 5 years i've lived here, (except once when testing). can't abide resetting the clock.

alh it is a novel idea, though one i wont dream of using

it got my imagination going
there in the corner is the bank of pull cords perhaps 8 in total,cooker washer dryer etc
the lady of the house pulling away as if she was the local bell ringer
kelp forest wiring we could call it

:d:d:d

Well my cooker switch is in the cupboard next to it because the missues didnt want to see too many switches and sockets on the work top! And to be honest getting to it is a bit tricky because the cupboard is full of crap. Looking back though i should have put my foot down and insisted having it next to the oven....

A pull switch in place of a cooker control unit , ....Why because it's easier!!!! My God what this industry coming too!!

 

[telectrix]
