How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local safety regulations. First, ensure the power supply is disconnected at the main circuit breaker.

• Confirm that the anthracite color matches your existing interior design scheme.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the socket is kept clean and free from debris. Periodically inspect the cover plate for any signs of damage or moisture ingress to maintain the integrity of the IP44 protection.
