FAQs

What is an isolator switch for an extractor fan?

An isolator switch is used to safely disconnect the power supply to an electrical appliance, such as an extractor fan. This allows for safe maintenance or cleaning of the fan.

Can this switch be used in any room?

Yes, it is suitable for general use, but its 3-pole shower rating makes it particularly safe and recommended for use in bathrooms or other high-humidity areas.

What is the maximum power rating for this switch?

This switch is rated for a maximum of 6 Amps (6A).

How do I clean the Satin Steel finish?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads which can damage the finish.

Does this switch come with a back box?

No, the switch plate is supplied without a back box. It is designed to fit standard electrical back boxes typically used for 86mm x 86mm wall plates.

Where can I find matching door handles and fixings?

Troubleshooting
