You can never put too many outlets in a kitchen. We have a similar arrangement to you for the outlets and it's just enough. One of the outlets has a USB charger built-in. We also have the dishwasher on a switch to prevent little fingers from accidentally activating it.
We had our entire switchboard replaced when we installed the kitchen. Partly because the old one contained asbestos and the kitchen work would have require drilling into it, but also to get the entire house protected with earth-leakage breakers (due again to little fingers). That dual-voltage system must be a pain in terms of infrastructure. Cheers, Dave > On Apr 7, 2020, at 11:33 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi! > > Hmm.
