Wiring: The unit features standard terminals for Live, Neutral, and Earth connections. Always verify that the fuse installed matches the specific requirements of the connected appliance.
Care: Clean the faceplate with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or degrade the brushed steel finish.
