Is this product a complete socket or just a cover?

What type of socket does this cover fit?
It is designed for SCHUKO sockets (Type F) rated at 16 A, 250 V~, within the Gira System 55 product line.
What is the primary benefit of the 'high-contrast' design?

Can I use this cover with other brands of sockets?
No, this cover is specifically designed for and compatible only with Gira System 55 SCHUKO socket bases.
How do I clean the anthracite cover?
To clean the cover, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials that could damage the finish.
What does 'System 55' refer to?
System 55 refers to Gira's modular system for control elements, sockets, and communication technology, designed to ensure a uniform and consistent look across all installed components.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not fit the socket base.
Verify that the socket base is part of the Gira System 55 and is specifically a SCHUKO Type F socket. This cover is not compatible with other socket types or Gira ranges.
Hinged lid is stiff or does not close properly.
Check for any obstructions around the hinge mechanism. Gently operate the lid a few times. Ensure the cover is correctly seated on the socket base.
Cover feels loose after installation.
Re-check that the cover is fully engaged with the socket base. If your specific model uses retaining screws, ensure they are tightened appropriately without over-tightening.
