[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 492807, member: 1607"] All fixed appliances should have some form of local, accessible isolation. As 99.9% of appliance instructions typically say you should turn the power off, during routine maintenance & cleaning. Do you know who fitted the kitchen? As it is worth remembering that builders and kitchen fitters have a long history of leaving some very dubious wiring arrangements in kitchens that they claimed to be able to "Include doing the electrics in with the price". Although it appears to work to the homeowner, some wiring can be poor design and/or a bit inconvenient, whilst others are positively dangerous. Don't assume everything has been done correctly just because a kitchen has some nice new cupboards and worktops. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
