The Knightsbridge SF8900MB has a maximum load rating of 20VA.
No, the 20VA rating is typically only suitable for electric shavers and similar low-power devices. A hairdryer would require a higher power rating.
No, this product requires a separately purchased standard mounting box with a minimum depth of 47mm.
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the surface.
Yes, the socket is IP41 rated and includes a moisture-shielding gasket to protect against condensation and splashes.
It means the socket can operate at both 115V and 230V, allowing you to use compatible shavers from different regions or travel without needing a separate voltage converter.
Ensure the circuit breaker is on. Check that the shaver plug is fully inserted into the socket. Verify that the correct voltage setting (115V or 230V) is appropriate for your shaver.
Clean the socket with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. The built-in gasket is designed to prevent moisture ingress, but regular cleaning is recommended.
Confirm that the existing backbox meets the minimum 47mm depth requirement. If not, a deeper backbox may need to be installed by a qualified electrician.
Setup:
Installation requires a standard UK wall mounting box with a minimum depth of 47mm. Ensure the power supply is switched off at the mains before commencing any electrical work. Connect the appropriate wires to the terminal capacity which accepts 2 x 2.5mm² or 1 x 4.0mm² cables.
Compatibility:
This socket is compatible with standard UK electrical systems (230V) and also supports 115V for international shaver plugs. It is designed for use with electric shavers and other low-power bathroom grooming appliances.
Care:
To maintain the finish, clean the socket with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the premium grade steel and matt black coating. The built-in gasket helps protect the finish from moisture, but regular cleaning will ensure its longevity.
