Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, always isolate the electrical supply at the consumer unit to prevent the risk of electric shock. The unit is designed to mount onto a standard recessed back box. Ensure that the wiring conforms to current IET wiring regulations. For maintenance, clean the switch using a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive chemical cleaners, as these can yellow or damage the white finish of the plastic casing.
