[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 17709, member: 250"] IMO this is one of the areas where the regs don't specifically says what should be done... But common sense says If its your Granny's kitchen and sparks and smoke start coming from the oven... would you prefer to have to easily accessible isolation switch.. or rather get the 4 screws out.... slide the oven forward and then unplug it!??? ?:| The electricians guide to building regulations says this. "readily accessible" is a phrase here!!! ;) But as said don't think there is a specific regulation.. there are regs relating to emergency switching '537.4.2' but this is more to do with machinery in industrial situations... i.e. where much greater H&S issue! ;) [/QUOTE]
