FAQs

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only and should not be exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions.

Does this extension lead have an on/off switch?

No, this particular model does not feature an on/off switch. Power is controlled by plugging and unplugging the lead or the connected appliances.

What is the maximum power I can draw through this lead?

The extension lead is rated at 13A, which is the maximum current it can safely handle. Ensure the total current draw from all connected appliances does not exceed this limit.

How do I clean the extension lead?

Wipe the extension lead with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals or submerging it in water.

Is this extension lead safe to use with high-power appliances like heaters?

Yes, provided the appliance's power consumption does not exceed the 13A rating of the extension lead. Always check the wattage or amperage of your appliance.

What type of sockets does this lead have?

It features two Type G (BS 1363) sockets, which are the standard 3-pin UK sockets.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected devices.

Ensure the extension lead's plug is securely inserted into the wall socket. Check if the wall socket itself is functional by plugging in another known working device. Verify that the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed the 13A limit.

Overheating of the cable or plug.

Immediately unplug the extension lead. Check that the cable is fully unwound. Ensure the total load of connected devices is within the 13A limit. Inspect the lead for any damage. If damage is present, do not use the product.

Loose connection at the socket.

Gently wiggle the appliance plug within the extension lead's socket to ensure a firm connection. Avoid forcing plugs into sockets. Ensure the extension lead is placed on a stable surface.
