Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to comply with local wiring regulations. Ensure the circuit is completely isolated at the consumer unit before beginning work. The switch is compatible with standard flush-mount back boxes. For care, avoid all chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads. Use only a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the surface gently; if the switch becomes heavily soiled, a slightly damp cloth may be used, provided the unit is dried immediately afterwards to prevent water ingress or tarnishing.
