How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified individual. First, ensure the power supply is disconnected. Strip the insulation from the cable wires, insert them into the internal terminals of the plug, and tighten the screws securely to ensure a firm electrical contact. Reassemble the plug housing, ensuring that the cable is properly clamped to prevent strain on the connections before plugging it into a wall outlet.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your appliance does not require a grounding pin
• Check the cable diameter to ensure it fits the plug housing
• Ensure the total power load does not exceed 16A

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the plug and cable for signs of wear or damage before each use. Do not overload the circuit and ensure the plug is fully inserted into the socket to prevent overheating.
