Ensure the back box is securely mounted and not recessed too deeply. Check for any obstructions behind the outlet. Make sure the correct mounting screws are being used.

Setup: This satellite outlet is designed for easy installation. It is intended to replace an existing standard electrical socket. Ensure power is turned off at the breaker before attempting any installation. Remove the old socket plate and disconnect the wiring, then connect the wires to the new Trendi Switch outlet according to the existing configuration. Secure the new outlet and attach the faceplate.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with standard UK electrical systems. It is designed to fit over existing single or double gang back boxes, acting as a surface-mounted replacement. It is essential to ensure your existing wiring is in good condition and compatible with the requirements of a new outlet.
Care: To maintain the pristine look of the Cool Grey gloss finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dried with a soft, dry cloth.
