I'm after a bit of advice.....

I moved into a flat last week, and the cooker has tripped the RCD switch on half a dozen occasions. All but one times, resetting the RCD switch has resolved the problem and the cooker has worked ok, but on the other occasion, it kept tripping, although it has worked since.

The landlord has had an electrician out to look at it, and his solution was to move the Cooker in the fuse box, so that it is not covered by the RCD. He said cookers have a large leakage and trigger the RCD too easily.

I'm worried that this has removed the symptom but not the cause of the problem. Is this sound practice. Is it ok under UK regulations to do this?

I know this isn't necessarily the forum I should be asking this question on, but any replies would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you
