Product Information
Full details
The 5 Star 4-Way Extension Lead is designed for home and office users needing to expand their power capacity for multiple electronic devices. Its primary benefit is the ability to power four appliances simultaneously from a single outlet, providing essential flexibility with its 2-meter reach. One caveat is that users must be mindful not to exceed the 13-amp total load capacity to prevent circuit tripping or overheating.

FAQs
Can I use this extension lead for high-power kitchen appliances?
It is not recommended. Devices with high energy consumption, such as kettles, heaters, or tumble dryers, should be plugged directly into wall sockets to avoid overloading the lead.
Is this product surge protected?
No, this specific model does not feature integrated surge protection.
Can I use this outdoors?
No, this extension lead is intended for indoor use only and should be kept away from damp or outdoor conditions.
What is the maximum amperage this lead can handle?
This lead is rated for a maximum of 13 Amps total across all four sockets.
Is the cable length adjustable?
The cable is fixed at 2 meters; it cannot be shortened or lengthened by the user.
Troubleshooting
Connected devices are not receiving power
Check that the lead is fully inserted into the wall outlet and that the wall outlet switch is in the on position.
The extension lead feels warm to the touch
Unplug devices immediately to reduce the load. Check the wattage of connected appliances to ensure they do not exceed the 13 Amp limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply plug the lead into a standard UK wall socket and ensure it is pushed in firmly. Connect your appliances to the four sockets, ensuring the total combined wattage of all devices does not exceed the 13 Amp limit. For care, keep the unit away from water, moisture, and high-heat sources. Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Do not attempt to open the casing or repair the internal wiring, as this voids safety compliance and poses an electrical shock hazard.
