Immediately turn off the power to the socket at the main consumer unit. Do not use the socket. Contact a qualified electrician for an inspection and replacement, as this indicates a serious electrical fault.
Setup: Installation of electrical sockets should only be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical regulations. Incorrect installation can lead to electric shock or fire hazards.
Compatibility: This socket is designed for standard UK household wiring systems and requires a suitable backbox. It is rated for 13 Amps and is compatible with standard UK plugs. Ensure the wiring at the installation point is adequate for a 13A double switched socket.
Care: To clean the socket, first ensure the power supply is switched off at the mains. Use a slightly damp, soft cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Do not spray cleaning liquids directly onto the socket. Ensure the socket is completely dry before restoring power.
