This product comes with a 10-year manufacturer guarantee, covering faults in material or workmanship.
The unit features a Polished Brass Effect finish, designed to provide the aesthetic of high-quality brass while maintaining durability.
While it may fit a 25mm box, it is often recommended to use a 35mm deep box to allow extra space for the wiring and USB internal module.
Verify that the main power switch for the socket is in the ON position and check the USB cable integrity.
Check that the mounting screws are tightened appropriately into the wall box and that the box is securely fastened to the wall structure.
Gently buff with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid all liquid cleaners.
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with current building regulations. Ensure that your wall box has sufficient depth (typically 25mm to 35mm) to accommodate the internal USB charging circuitry. For care, use only a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to dust the faceplate. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, polishes, or chemical sprays, as these can strip the polished brass finish or damage the intricate roped-edge detailing. Always ensure the power is isolated at the consumer unit before cleaning or performing any maintenance on the electrical connections.
