Troubleshooting
Socket not providing power.
Verify that the circuit breaker is switched on and that the socket is correctly wired. Check for loose connections at the terminals and ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall socket.
Plug is difficult to insert or remove.
Ensure you are using a compatible Type E plug. Check the socket and plug for any debris or damage. Do not force the plug.
