How to use

Ensure power to the relevant circuit is switched off before removing the existing wall plate. Unscrew the mounting screws of the current cover, remove it and position the Metz wall plate over the module or switch so that fastening points align. Secure the plate using the original or compatible mounting screws until it sits flush with the wall surface. Wipe the glossy surface with a soft, damp cloth for cleaning; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the finish.

Usage recommendations

Use in dry indoor environments and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent color changes. For installation, verify mechanical fit with the existing outlet frame and use screws of appropriate length to avoid damaging the wall or internal wiring. For persistent stains, use a mild detergent diluted in water and a non-abrasive cloth.
