Hi all,
Apologies for this being my first post on the forum, I intend to write an introduction post too once I've finished here.
I've recently had a storage heater fitted as a way of heating my property (I'm a student). I can't help but think it looks extremely dangerous and I'm dubious about putting my hands anywhere near it.
I've no idea about electronics or circuits so figured asking for some reliable information from the internet would be my first port of call. Indeed, there might not be anything wrong with the way it's been fitted - but I thought it better to be safe than sorry.
This is the Storage Heater;

This is the switch that worries me;

Regardless of what position the "switch" is in, the storage heater remains on, as you can see by the orange lights on the switch contained in the storage heater unit;

Apologies if this is perfectly fine way of setting up such a storage heater, this post is mainly for my own piece of mind and to know I'm not going to be electrocuted if/when I touch it.
Thanks in advance guys,
All the best,
Xi
