FAQs
Does this switch come with a back box?

Can I install this switch myself?
Electrical installations should be carried out by a competent person or a qualified electrician to ensure safety and adherence to local wiring regulations.
Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?
No, this product is designed for indoor use only and does not feature weatherproofing.
What is the purpose of the 45 Amp rating?
The 45 Amp rating indicates the maximum electrical current the switch can handle safely, which is necessary for high-power appliances like electric ovens.
How do I clean the black finish?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive household cleaners as they may cause spotting or scratching on the black finish.
Troubleshooting
Neon indicator light fails to illuminate
Check if the appliance is receiving power at the fuse box and verify that all wire terminations at the back of the switch are secure.
Switch rocker feels stiff or stuck
Ensure the mounting screws are not overtightened, which can distort the plate and interfere with the internal rocker mechanism.
Switch plate does not sit flush against the wall
Verify that the back box is set deep enough (47 mm minimum) and that no debris or excess cabling is pushing against the rear of the unit.
