FAQs

What type of back box do I need for this shaver socket?

You will need a standard 47mm double electrical back box for installation.

Can I use this socket for my electric toothbrush?

Yes, this socket is compatible with most electric toothbrush chargers that use a shaver plug and operate within the 115V-230V range.

Is the voltage output automatically selected?

The socket provides dual voltage output, typically handling both 115V and 230V, suitable for different charging needs.

Can this socket be used in a shower cubicle?

The IP40 rating means it is protected against solid objects but not water. It is suitable for general bathroom areas but not for direct exposure to water like inside a shower cubicle.

How do I clean the brushed stainless steel finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that could damage the finish.

What are the dimensions of the shaver socket?

The dimensions are approximately 8.6 cm in width, 14.7 cm in height, and 4.5 cm in depth.

Do I need a qualified electrician to install this?

It is strongly recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations.

Troubleshooting

Shaver not charging

Verify the shaver is correctly plugged into the socket. Ensure the input power supply to the socket is active. Check that the shaver itself is functioning correctly and is compatible with the dual voltage output.

Socket feels loose

Ensure the socket is securely fastened to the back box. If the back box itself is loose, it may require re-securing to the wall.

Discoloration on the finish

Clean gently with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If discoloration persists, it may be due to prolonged exposure to certain substances or high humidity.
