How to use

After installation, restore power and verify the connection with a standard voltage tester.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing wall box is compatible with recessed mounting requirements.
• Ensure the installation location is protected from direct water jets or extreme weather.
• Confirm that the matte cream color matches your existing interior design scheme.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the protective cover is closed when the socket is not in use to maintain the integrity of the IP44 rating and prevent dust accumulation. Periodically inspect the cover for signs of wear or damage to ensure continued protection against moisture.
