    You have the live input connected to the output part of the switch check the back of the switch and make sure the live is going to the "in" terminal and the wire going To the cooker is going to the out terminal .

    Note also that its not just the Live, both live and neutral to the cooker need to be connected to the L out, N out, or it could say Load between the L and N where the cooker should be connected to.

    If only the Live is changed around, the neon might light dimly when the cooker isolator is switched off.
