The judge before whom the alleged contumacious conduct occurred is disqualified from presiding at the plenary hearing or trial (as distinguished from summary action) except with the defendant's consent:
(a) if the allegedly contumacious conduct consists primarily of personal disrespect to or vituperative criticism of the judge; or
(b) if the judge's recollection of, or testimony concerning the conduct allegedly constituting contempt, is necessary for an adjudication; or
(c) if the judge concludes that in view of his recollection of the events he would be unable to make his decision solely on the basis of the evidence at the hearing.
