Yes, it is designed for a standard 2-gang UK wall mounting box.
Double pole switching disconnects both the live and neutral wires, providing a higher level of safety when working with electrical appliances.
Use a soft, dry cloth for regular maintenance and avoid abrasive materials or acidic cleaning agents.
Electrical installations should be carried out by a qualified electrician to meet safety regulations.
The socket is rated for 13 Amps.
Check that the mounting box is level and flush with the wall; add spacers if the box is set too deep.
Ensure no paint or debris has entered the switch housing during installation; clear gently with a dry brush.
Clean with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or scouring pads.
Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations. This unit is designed for a standard UK 2-gang back box. Before beginning, ensure the electricity is switched off at the mains. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the unit to the box, taking care not to overtighten, as this could warp the metal faceplate. For care and cleaning, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges. Instead, wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. If the gold finish loses its shine over time, a light polish designed for decorative metal fixtures can be used sparingly.
