Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations. The unit is designed for a standard 25mm deep back box. To install, remove the outer glass fascia carefully, wire the socket according to standard UK electrical wiring practices, and snap the fascia back into place. For maintenance, keep the glass surface looking pristine by wiping it with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the premium finish of the glass.
