Tips

• Professional Installation is Key: While the grid plate itself is passive, the installation of electrical inserts into it, and the wiring of those inserts, must always be performed by a qualified and certified electrician. This ensures compliance with all local electrical codes and safety regulations, guaranteeing safe and optimal operation.
• Plan Your Layout Meticulously: Before purchasing inserts, carefully plan the specific functions you want to consolidate on the CBi Grid Plate 4 Lever 2x4 White (G003-P). Consider the logical grouping and order of the levers for intuitive user interaction. Ensure all required inserts are compatible with the CBI Plastic Range.
• Use Only Compatible Inserts: To ensure proper fit, functionality, and safety, always use lever inserts specifically designed for CBI-electric's Plastic Range grid plates. Mixing brands or using incompatible inserts can lead to poor fit, malfunction, or safety hazards.
• Consider Fluorescent Inserts for Visibility: Many compatible CBI lever inserts (e.g., light switches) feature unique fluorescent indicators. When selecting your inserts, consider utilizing these for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, especially in high-traffic areas or bedrooms.
• Regular Cleaning: To maintain the pristine appearance of the white plastic, regularly wipe the grid plate and its inserts with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish or the electrical components.
• Maintain Aesthetic Consistency: The G003-P is part of a larger range. For a cohesive look throughout your property, consider using other CBI-electric Plastic Range accessories (e.g., socket outlets, other light switches, blank plates) that share the same design language and finish.
• Future Expansion/Flexibility: Even if you only need three levers initially, a 4-lever grid plate like the G003-P offers a spare slot for future expansion without needing to replace the entire plate. A blank insert (e.g., LI662-P) can be used to cover the unused slot, providing flexibility.
• Safety First: Never attempt to force an insert into the grid plate if it doesn't fit easily. If you encounter any difficulties during installation or notice any damage, consult a qualified electrician. Always disconnect power at the main distribution board before performing any electrical work.
