Verify that the circuit breaker is on. Ensure the appliance is correctly hardwired to the flex outlet by a qualified electrician. Check for any loose connections.
Some warmth may be normal under heavy load. However, if it becomes excessively hot, immediately disconnect power and have it inspected by an electrician. This could indicate an overloaded circuit or a faulty connection.
Cease using abrasive cleaners. Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For significant damage, the plate may need to be replaced.
Setup:
This 20A flex outlet requires connection directly to the mains wiring. It is not a standard socket outlet and is intended for use by qualified electricians. Ensure the circuit is rated appropriately for 20A and that all connections are made in accordance with local electrical regulations.
Compatibility:
This flex outlet is compatible with appliances that require a 20A connection and are designed to be hardwired. It is *not* compatible with standard 13A plugs. It is designed to fit standard UK backboxes, but always verify dimensions if using an existing installation.
Care:
To maintain the appearance of the brushed chrome finish, clean the plate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. The moisture-resistant gasket should remain intact to provide optimal protection.
