Oven isolation switch

Hrududu

I have an isolation switch on the wall beside my cooker. But it only applies to the hob. The oven always has power regardless of what this switch is set to. Should this be the case? Or are there regulations that there should be one for the oven too? I’ve done some googling and see suggestions that the isolation switch for the oven could be hidden in a press but there is nothing. I need to replace the element and would rather not get electrocuted. So if I switch off at the fuse box is this the only option?

Is it a fan oven? Depending on the age, it may be plugged into a standard socket.

Yup it’s a fan oven. So could it be that you’d pull out the oven and it’s just plugged in behind?

Possibly.

Lots of single cavity ovens are just plugged in. However, otherwise there should be a switch (and in a newly wired house, there'll be a switch anyway for any inaccessible sockets).

Breaker off is probably easier than trying to remove it to check.
