Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or a competent person familiar with the latest IET wiring regulations. Before beginning, always ensure the power supply is isolated at the main breaker. This switch fits standard-depth back boxes, though deeper boxes may be preferred to provide extra room for cable management. To clean, use only a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents which could damage the finish. Ensure that all connections are tightened to the torque specifications printed on the packaging to prevent loose wire issues.
