Rocker switch, non-fixed (ON)-OFF SCHAERER Spare Parts KE/MI/2A-G

A rocker switch controls power with a single press that tilts a plastic paddle between on and off positions. The paddle rocks on a central pivot, closing or opening a set of contacts inside the switch body. This design gives a clear tactile response and a visible change of state, which helps operators avoid accidental operation in a busy kitchen environment. This SCHAERER spare part is a nonfixed, single-pole single-throw rocker switch with three pins. The nonfixed construction means the switch is not permanently attached to a panel, allowing it to be installed in different positions or replaced without removing the entire assembly. The three pins provide connections for live, neutral and earth, ensuring safe integration into the electrical circuit of professional catering equipment. The switch features a green 12 V LED illumination that lights when the circuit is closed. The LED draws power from the same 12 V supply used by control circuits in many commercial appliances, eliminating the need for a separate transformer. The green light serves as a clear visual indicator, showing at a glance whether the appliance is powered on, even in low-light kitchen conditions. The switch is rated for 10 A at 250 V AC, matching the load requirements of most small to medium catering appliances such as grills, hobs and countertop fryers. The 27.2 mm by 13.6 mm mounting footprint fits standard cut-outs in control panels, making it compatible with a wide range of SCHAERER equipment and other professional brands that use the same switch format. Press the switch into the pre-cut panel until the snap-in clips lock it firmly in place without tools. The operator disconnects power to the appliance, removes the old switch if present, aligns the new switch with the panel cut-out, and presses it into place. The three pins are then connected to the corresponding wires in the appliance's control circuit, ensuring the LED illumination is powered by the 12 V supply. Once secured, the switch is tested by pressing the paddle to confirm the green LED lights and the appliance powers on and off as expected. The switch body is constructed from durable plastic, designed to withstand repeated operation and the heat and moisture common in professional kitchens. The green LED is housed behind a translucent section of the paddle, protecting it from dust and splashes while maintaining visibility. Cleaning is limited to wiping the paddle and surrounding panel with a damp cloth. No disassembly is required, and no solvents should be used, as these can damage the plastic housing or the LED illumination. Regular inspection ensures the switch remains securely mounted and the LED continues to function as an indicator.
