Product Information
Full details
This CED 3-Way Adaptor in white is ideal for offices and homes needing to expand electrical capacity from a single socket. It efficiently transforms one mains socket into three, providing a convenient power solution for multiple devices. A key benefit is the integrated 13 amp fuse, offering enhanced protection for both users and connected equipment. One consideration is its cube shape, which, while compact, may occupy a significant portion of the wall socket area.

FAQs
What is the maximum amperage this adaptor can handle?
The adaptor features a 13 amp fuse, which is the maximum total amperage it can safely handle across all three outlets.
Can I use this adaptor for high-power appliances like heaters or kettles?
It is not recommended for high-power appliances that draw close to or exceed 13 amps, as this could blow the fuse or pose a safety risk. It is best suited for moderate power devices like computers, lamps, and chargers.
How do I replace the fuse?
Locate the fuse compartment, typically a small slot on the side or end of the adaptor. Use a small screwdriver or a similar tool to gently pry open the compartment, remove the old fuse, and insert a new 13A fuse of the same type. Close the compartment securely.
Will this adaptor fit in any wall socket?
It is designed to fit standard UK mains sockets. Its cube shape may occupy a larger footprint than a standard plug, but it is designed to allow access to adjacent sockets where possible.
Is this adaptor suitable for outdoor use?
No, this adaptor is designed for indoor use only and should be kept away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.
Troubleshooting
Adaptor not providing power to any devices
Check that the adaptor is securely plugged into the wall socket. Verify the wall socket itself is working by testing it with another appliance. Ensure the 13A fuse within the adaptor is intact; if blown, replace it with a new 13A fuse.
Fuse blows frequently
This indicates that the total power consumption of the connected devices exceeds the 13A limit. Disconnect one or more devices to reduce the load. Consider using a higher-capacity power strip if your needs are consistently high.
Loose connection at the wall socket
Gently push the adaptor further into the socket. If the socket is old or worn, it might not provide a secure grip. Ensure the adaptor is not being subjected to strain or pulling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply plug the CED 3-Way Adaptor into a standard mains electrical socket. Ensure the socket is functioning correctly and the adaptor is firmly seated. Once plugged in, you can connect up to three electrical devices to the available outlets.
Compatibility: This adaptor is designed for use with standard UK mains sockets and is compatible with most common household and office electrical appliances. However, users should be mindful of the total power draw; the 13A fuse rating means the total load across all three outlets should not exceed this limit to prevent fuse blow-out or overheating.
Care: To maintain the adaptor, unplug it from the wall socket before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or immersing the unit in water. Regularly check the fuse to ensure it is intact, especially if experiencing power interruptions.
