Can I install this in a bathroom?

Troubleshooting
Socket feels loose against the wall
Check that the fixing screws are tightened evenly and ensure no wires are trapped behind the faceplate, which can prevent it from sitting flush.
Switch feels stiff or unresponsive
Inspect the wiring terminals to ensure no stray copper strands are obstructing the mechanism and verify that the mounting box is level.
Appliance fails to power on
Verify the plug is fully inserted and the switch is in the 'on' position. If the issue persists, check the fuse in the appliance plug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the VPBN536BK should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical regulations.
- Ensure the power is completely isolated at the mains consumer unit before beginning work.
- The socket fits any standard UK double-gang back box with a depth between 25mm and 47mm.
- Use the included colour-coded screws to mount the faceplate to the back box; do not overtighten, as this may distort the plate.
- Ensure the plastic gasket is installed between the metal faceplate and the mounting box to prevent earth faults.
For cleaning, use only a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or dull the premium black nickel plating over time.
