Scanford Elegance Unit
The Scanford Elegance Cooker Unit provides high-current power management for heavy-duty kitchen appliances in residential and commercial environments. This 45A rated device integrates a double pole switch and a 13A switched socket into a single aesthetic plate. It handles high electrical loads typical of electric ovens and hobs while maintaining strict safety standards. The unit supports simultaneous operation of a high-wattage cooker and a standard countertop appliance.
Key Features
-
High-Current Load Capacity
The main switch handles up to 45 Amps at 250V AC for high-wattage heating elements. -
Integrated Auxiliary Socket
A secondary 13A switched outlet provides convenient power for portable kitchen hardware. -
Safety and Isolation
- Double pole switching disconnects live and neutral lines simultaneously.
- Fire-retardant urea formaldehyde construction resists thermal deformation.
- Internal barriers prevent cross-circuit interference between switch and socket.
-
Visual Status Monitoring
Dual neon indicators provide immediate confirmation of power status for both circuits.
The internal architecture features high-conductivity brass terminals. These connectors facilitate low resistance paths to reduce heat build-up during peak operation. The main 45A terminals accommodate up to 10mm² solid or stranded conductors. Socket terminals accept standard 2.5mm² wiring configurations. Robust screw-down clamps prevent cable slippage and potential arcing at connection points. However, installers must ensure proper torque settings to maintain long-term electrical integrity.
Material selection prioritizes durability and electrical insulation. The faceplate uses high-impact polycarbonate that resists scratching and chemical exposure. This material maintains structural integrity under significant temperature fluctuations. Additionally, the matte finish prevents glare and fingerprint accumulation in high-traffic kitchen areas. The low-profile design ensures the hardware sits flush against the wall surface once installed.
Installation requires a standard double-gang back box with a minimum depth of 47mm. This depth provides sufficient space for heavy-gauge wiring and terminal clearance. The CK-SCE module complies with BS 4177 standards for cooker control units. This certification ensures the hardware meets rigorous safety testing for temperature rise and mechanical endurance. Procurement managers can specify this component for large-scale residential developments where reliability is paramount.

The finish on this Scanford unit is actually quite nice for the price. Installed it in a new apartment in Kilimani and it looks much cleaner than the standard bulky ones you see everywhere. The switch for the cooker feels solid and having that extra 13A socket right there is very handy for the microwave or a blender.

Good quality cooker switch. It was delivered quickly to Thika and the electrician had no issues fitting it. The socket works well even when the oven is on.
