@abrasive thanks!

At first sight, I'll never interpret the circle as anything other than the letter O.

I will remember that it's electrically off when the red or blue handle is turned ninety degrees – away from the pipe – for the hot or cold water to not get through.

Laughable, but true. Finally, I have found a way to remember what's what. What?

Grmpf, not the best day. Excavator was in the way of something else, so I drove it out, decided to do some quick jobs to charge the battery up and then parked it outside the barn. Upon turning the key again, nothing at all, not even the solenoid clicking.

Keyswitch ok, battery ok, so I had to trace wires (no diagram, although it's not complicated) until finding the culprit: A failed crimp on a ring terminal where the instrument wiring connects to the starter/battery plus.

Easy fix, put everything back together, two hours down the drain. 😮‍💨

Question for any one who knows about #electrical #appliances and power consumption.
I recently got a smart meter fitted. Works great.
I also own several smart plugs that can give the power used at a specific socket so I have confirmed my findings two different ways.

Why is my microwave combi oven consuming 1.5kw when on full microwave power when it claims to be a 900 watt oven.

I noticed this when I was microwaving something and looked at the smart meter app live power consumption
