Product Information
Full details
This PRO ELEC 4 Gang Extension Lead is designed for users needing extended reach for electrical devices, offering a generous 25m cable length and four sockets from a single plug. Its robust metal frame and plastic drum ensure durability. A key benefit is the organised cable management via the reel. A potential consideration is the bulk of the reel when fully extended.

What is the maximum load this extension lead can handle?
This extension lead is rated for a maximum of 13 Amps (13A) total load across all four sockets.
Is it safe to use the cable when partially wound?
For safety and to prevent overheating, it is recommended to fully unwind the cable before use, especially when powering multiple or high-draw devices.
How do I clean the cable reel?
Wipe the metal frame and plastic drum with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or immersing the unit in water.
What standards does this extension lead comply with?
This extension lead conforms to British Standard BS EN61242.
Can I use this extension lead outdoors?
While the cable and reel are robust, this product is generally intended for indoor use. Ensure it is protected from rain and moisture if used in a covered outdoor area.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or PRO ELEC's official website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
Troubleshooting
No power to sockets
Check that the main plug is securely inserted into the wall socket. Ensure the appliance(s) plugged into the extension lead are functioning. Verify that the total load does not exceed the 13A rating. Inspect the cable for any visible damage.
Cable not winding smoothly
Ensure there are no kinks or knots in the cable. Check the drum for any obstructions or debris. Gently pull the cable out and re-feed it to clear potential snags.
Extension lead feels warm during use
This can indicate that the total load is close to or exceeding the 13A limit, or that the cable is not fully unwound. Unplug devices and ensure the cable is fully extended. Distribute the load across fewer devices if possible.
