kitchen - isolaion switch location

[matt.leung]

hi, in a kitchen does the isolation switch for the dishwasher have to be directly above the socket or can it be on a seperate wall but near by..... just cos there is a sink near by the dishwasher..

i think mate so long as your cables are in the zones it would be ok, u could even plug it in a unit.

some one will correct me if i am wrong

300mm from sink mate

Just make up a grid with them all on next to the light switch at worst. Or even better incorporate it all into one unit.

Its Ok to fit a socket in a cupboard next to the dishwasher then there is no need for isolation above the units. I usually fit them to rear spar just below the worktop so there is less chance of it getting tw*ted by some pots and pans. I have seen others fit then on the underside of the work top.
