Hi all,

I currently have a cooker control panel with a 13 amp socket but the cooker switch needs to be on for me to use the 13 amp socket.

I remember using at my last place the two where separated and I could then use the socket without the cooker on.

If thats right then what panel do I need to do this?, reason being I don't like the cooker being powered on when im not using it and I just want to boil the kettle etc.

Thankyou.

You worry far too much. There is no requirement to have an isolation switch anyway. I take it your cooker does not have a clock. Many do for the timer.
 
Regarding my post above.
I miss understood. Thinking it only had one switch controlling both cooker and socket.

Yes. As everyone else has said its a basic mistake easily rectified by swapping conductors around.

Competant spark would get that done in 15-20mins depending on size of conductors, legnth of conductors and depth of Back box.
 
That socket outlet is FAR too close to the worktop.

Yup, I rent this place and even I know about distance/location with these things...

Its a Victorian house converted into two flats, I wont show you the 2 gang socket under the kitchen sink then...., they just boxed it in with a panel yet from the top its exposed, I had to build something around it for protection...
