Product Information

Full details

This Schneider Electric Lisse Screwless Deco Double Shaver Socket is designed for electricians and homeowners undertaking new construction or refurbishment. Its key benefit is simplified painting and decorating due to a unique removable screwless cover, ensuring a clean finish. A potential consideration is its specific dual voltage (115/230V) requirement, which needs to be matched with the existing electrical system. It features a reliable clip-in system and a 7mm raised edge for easy installation, all within a stylish stainless steel finish with a white insert.

FAQs

Is this socket suitable for general use (e.g., hairdryer)?

No, this is a dedicated shaver socket designed for low-power appliances like shavers and electric toothbrush chargers. It is not suitable for high-power devices such as hairdryers.

What is the main advantage of the screwless design?

The screwless design allows for easier and cleaner painting and decorating around the socket, as the frontplate can be removed without disturbing the main unit's installation.

Does the socket come with a shaver plug attached?

No, this product is the socket unit itself. You will need to connect it to your home's electrical wiring. The socket is designed to accept standard shaver plugs.

How do I switch between 115V and 230V?

The voltage selection is typically done during installation by connecting the appropriate supply voltage to the corresponding terminals within the socket, as per the wiring instructions. It is not a user-selectable switch after installation.

What type of wall box is required for installation?

It requires a standard UK flush-mounted wall box with a minimum depth of 35mm. Ensure the box is suitable for the electrical load.

Can I install this myself?

Installation requires basic electrical knowledge and should be performed in accordance with current wiring regulations. If you are unsure, it is strongly recommended to hire a qualified electrician for safe and compliant installation.

Troubleshooting

No power to the socket

Ensure the circuit breaker is switched on. Verify that the correct voltage (115V or 230V) is being supplied to the socket terminals. Check all wiring connections are secure and correct as per the installation manual.

Shaver not charging/working

Confirm the shaver is compatible with the voltage setting (115V or 230V) of the socket. Ensure the shaver plug is fully inserted into the socket. Test the socket with a different compatible shaver if possible.

Frontplate is difficult to remove or reattach

Ensure you are using the correct method for removal/reattachment as per the instructions. Sometimes a slight wiggle or gentle pressure is needed. Avoid excessive force which could damage the plate or clips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shaver socket is designed for flush mounting within standard UK back boxes (minimum depth of 35mm recommended). Ensure the power supply is isolated at the mains before commencing installation. Connect the appropriate voltage wiring (115V or 230V) to the designated terminals, following the wiring diagram provided. The screwless frontplate should be carefully removed before mounting the unit to the wall and re-attached once the main body is securely fixed.

Compatibility: The unit is compatible with standard shaver plugs and dual voltage appliances operating within the 115V/230V range. It is essential to confirm that the appliance being used is rated for the voltage supplied by the circuit. This socket is not intended for general mains power.

Care: To maintain the appearance and functionality, clean the socket regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the electrical terminals. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the stainless steel finish. Periodically check that the frontplate is securely attached.
