How to use

To use the Elektroplast AWA-5, first ensure the power supply is completely disconnected. Unscrew the housing to access the internal terminals. Strip the insulation from your power cable wires and securely fasten them to the corresponding terminals, ensuring the earth wire is connected to the designated grounding point. Once the connections are tight and secure, reassemble the plug housing, ensuring the cable strain relief is properly positioned to prevent the wires from pulling out during use.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the current rating of your appliance does not exceed 16A
• Ensure the cable diameter is compatible with the plug's strain relief mechanism
• Check that the 2P+E configuration matches your existing wall socket and appliance requirements

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the plug and cable for signs of wear or damage before each use. If you are not experienced with electrical wiring, it is recommended to consult a qualified electrician to ensure the installation meets local safety standards.
