Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician or someone with competent knowledge of electrical wiring, ensuring power is isolated at the mains before beginning. This switch is designed to fit standard UK wall boxes. For maintenance, clean the black faceplate using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and reduce the longevity of the product. Always ensure that the total load of your lighting circuit does not exceed the 10-amp limit of the switch.
