FAQs

What is the warranty period?

The Masterplug extension lead comes with a 1-year warranty.

How do I know if the surge protection is working?

The extension lead has a surge protection indicator light. If the light is on, the surge protection is active.

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

This extension lead is designed for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors or in damp environments.

What is the maximum load the extension lead can handle?

The extension lead can handle a maximum load of 13A (3000W at 230V).

What should I do if the extension lead gets wet?

Immediately unplug the extension lead and allow it to dry completely before using it again. If there's any sign of damage, do not use it; replace it.

What is the benefit of individual switches?

Individual switches allow you to control the power to each device independently, saving energy and preventing devices from drawing power when not in use.

How often should I check the extension lead?

Inspect the extension lead regularly, especially the cable, plugs, and sockets, for any signs of wear and tear or damage, ideally every few months.

Troubleshooting

The extension lead doesn't work.

Check the power supply, ensure the lead is properly plugged in, and verify the wall outlet is working. Check also the fuse in the plug.

A device plugged into the extension lead won't turn on.

Check the individual switch for that socket. Ensure the device's power cable is securely connected. Check the device itself.

The surge protection indicator is not lit.

If the surge protection indicator is not lit, it may indicate that the surge protection has been used. Consider replacing the extension lead.

The extension lead is overloaded.

Unplug some devices to reduce the load. Make sure the combined power draw of all connected devices doesn't exceed 13A.
