FAQs

What is the maximum amperage this unit supports?

The unit is rated for a maximum of 13A.

Does this unit come with a backbox?

No, this unit is designed to fit into a standard single UK backbox, which is sold separately or must already be installed.

Can I use this for a cooker or shower?

This unit is rated for 13A, which is generally too low for high-power appliances like cookers or showers. Please consult the appliance's manual for its specific power requirements and recommended connection type.

How do I clean the satin steel finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.

Is this unit suitable for outdoor use?

No, this unit is designed for indoor use only and should not be exposed to moisture or the elements.

What does 'screwless' mean in relation to the finish?

Can I get this in other finishes?

Troubleshooting

Unit not receiving power

Verify that the main power supply is on and that the fuse within the spur is intact. Check all wiring connections are secure and correctly made.

Switch feels stiff or loose

Ensure the unit is correctly mounted and the faceplate is properly secured. If the issue persists, contact customer support or a qualified electrician.

Sparking or overheating at connection

Immediately turn off power at the mains. Inspect wiring for damage or loose connections. This indicates a potentially hazardous situation; consult a qualified electrician for diagnosis and repair.
