Troubleshooting
Switch not turning light on/off
Ensure the power is on and the wiring is correctly connected according to the included instructions. Check if the bulb is functional. If issues persist, consult a qualified electrician.
Intermediate switch not functioning correctly
Verify that the intermediate wiring is correctly installed. Intermediate switches require specific wiring patterns to function with two-way switches. Refer to the fitting instructions or seek professional electrical advice.
Finish appears dull or discolored
Clean the plate with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the room is not exposed to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture that could affect the finish.
