How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes. The socket is designed to be installed into a standard wall box.

Ensure the plug is fully seated to maintain a stable electrical contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing wall box is compatible with recessed mounting
• Ensure the electrical circuit supports a 16 A load
• Check if you require a decorative frame, as this unit is sold without one
• Confirm the color matches your existing electrical hardware

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the socket for any signs of physical damage or discoloration. Avoid overloading the circuit by connecting multiple high-power appliances through power strips. Always ensure that plugs are inserted straight and fully into the socket to prevent arcing or loose connections.
