What is the warranty period for this switch?

Please refer to the Deta product documentation or contact your retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

How do I clean the switch?

What is the MPN for this product?

The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) for this specific Deta grid switch is G3561.

Troubleshooting

Switch not turning on appliance

Verify that the main power supply is on. Check the circuit breaker. Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct for a double-pole switch. Confirm the appliance is functioning.
