How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes. The device is designed for flush-mounted installation. Begin by ensuring the power supply is disconnected at the main circuit breaker. Prepare the electrical wiring by stripping the insulation to the appropriate length and inserting the wires into the screwless terminals. Secure the socket into the wall box using the integrated claws or screws. Once installed, the hinged lid can be lifted manually to insert a plug and will close automatically via the spring mechanism when the plug is removed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing wall boxes are compatible with standard flush-mounted sockets.
• Ensure the electrical load of your appliances does not exceed the 16 A rating.
• Check if your local electrical regulations permit the installation of screwless terminal devices.
• Confirm that the black finish matches your interior design requirements.

Usage recommendations

To maintain the longevity of the hinged lid mechanism, avoid applying excessive force when opening or closing the cover. Regularly inspect the socket for any signs of wear or damage, and ensure that no debris accumulates inside the terminal area during installation.
