Tips

• Professional Installation is Essential: Always ensure that the CBi Single Switched Socket 4x4 White (PS674R-P) is installed by a qualified and certified electrician. Proper wiring is crucial for safety and optimal performance, ensuring compliance with all local electrical codes and regulations.
• Understand Load Limits: While rated for 16A, be mindful of the power draw of connected appliances. Avoid overloading the socket, especially with high-wattage devices, to prevent tripping circuit breakers or potential damage.
• Leverage the Fluorescent Indicator: For the fluorescent indicator to glow effectively in the dark, ensure it receives sufficient exposure to ambient light during the day. The material absorbs light energy and then slowly releases it as a subtle glow when conditions are dark, making the switch easy to locate.
• Regular Cleaning and Maintenance: To preserve the pristine white finish and ensure hygienic operation, regularly wipe the socket outlet surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the plastic or compromise the electrical components.
• Maintain Aesthetic Consistency: For a truly cohesive and professional look throughout your property, consider pairing the PS674R-P with other CBI-electric Plastic Range accessories (e.g., light switches, multi-gang sockets, data outlets) that share the same design language and white finish.
• Safety First: Never attempt to repair or modify the socket outlet yourself. If you observe any signs of damage, overheating, or malfunction, immediately disconnect power to the circuit at the main distribution board and contact a qualified electrician for inspection and replacement.
• Secure Plug Insertion: Always ensure that appliance plugs are fully and securely inserted into the socket. A loose connection can lead to overheating or intermittent power supply.
