Hi, many years ago, I had a Baby Belling oven with the two hot plates on top. One night when cooking my evening meal, I nodded off to sleep in my armchair, but later woke and though my tea must be ready, it was, ready to go straight into the bin, as it was done to a dried up black crisp that you would even give to your worst enemy. This I thought was not a good thing to repeat as it could have lead to a serious fire, not to mention a wasted meal, so I did exactly as Chris Gunn has suggested and got a plug-in timer. Can't ever remember falling to sleep though while the oven was on after I started using the timer, but I felt safer all the same.

Regards Nick.

This is a classic scenario where an NVR (no volt release) motor starter would have been useful, imagine if you had not returned for a week or twosad

Well, for my 'two-pennyworth' I find it incredible that anyone would want a machine that just plugs straight into a wall socket with nothing in between. Small No-Volt Release devices are cheap as are start and stop buttons. All my machines, both single-phase and three phase run with converters, are equipped with NVR devices but that's only me.
