Troubleshooting
Faceplate does not sit flush against the wall.
Check that the wall box is correctly installed and not protruding. Ensure no cables are obstructing the mounting screws. Verify that the correct type of wall box (single-gang UK) is being used.
Modular components do not click into place.
Confirm that the module is a 'Euro' type and is designed for single-gang faceplates. Ensure the module's tabs align correctly with the faceplate slots. Check for any debris inside the module slot.
High gloss finish appears scratched or dull.
Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals. Use only a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Minor scuffs may be difficult to remove from high gloss surfaces.
