Sorry, can you explain what a key switch on a cooker is ?Is it a gas or electric cooker ?If you had a cooker without a key switch what would stop you cooking ?0

Hi @ereilly26 welcome , i have got one for my cooker , but i dont use it think i got 4 of them , , can put photo on here if someone let me know how you do it, for you to see what it is x0

@topshoes what does the key switch do please? Is it there to stop someone from using the cooker for safety reasons?

My aunt has one it is for safety reasons only her carers can use the key to operate the cooker1

@poppy123456 had to look at them lol , any one can turn it on or off , its like turning your tv off at main so there is not a fire , all it is up to date when they put in new kitchens and rewire places , hope this helps ,0

ereilly26 said:yes they only gave me 2 points for preparing food and cook a meal but I cant put the cooker on because of the key switch yes it is pip I was turned down for daily living needsAs the key switch is for safety reasons, if the switch wasn't there would you be able to prepare and cook a simple meal?What about the other 9 daily living descriptors? You need to take a look at them to see where else you could score those points.

@poppy123456 there is no key , you just turn it on and red light come on and if you switch it off the red light comes off , power is off then , any one can turn it on to use cooker or turn it off when finished , yes if turn off no power get to it , it is not any think special , loads of people have got them who got new kitchen and new rewiring ,0

Would you be able to use a microwave? That might have been what they were thinking when they gave you two points. Did you get any points for washing or dressing or any of the other things?1
-
@topshoes there is a key switch for cookers for vulnerable people who are at risk if they use the cooker unsupervised so it prevents them from doing so0
-
@topshoes ah ok i'm with you now. It's just a basic switch, thanks for explaining that.0
