Tips

• Mandatory Professional Installation: For your safety and to ensure regulatory compliance, this product must be installed by a qualified and certified electrician in accordance with SANS 10142-1 wiring regulations.
• CRITICAL - Understand the Socket Type: This unit exclusively features four SANS 164-2 sockets. They are designed for the modern, hexagonal-profile "ZA Slimline" two-pin plugs and standard two-pin Europlugs. They will NOT accommodate the large, triangular three-pin plugs (SANS 164-1) used for kettles, microwaves, and other earthed appliances.
• 4x4 Wall Box Required: This unit requires a square 100mm x 100mm wall box for installation. It is not compatible with rectangular 4x2 wall boxes.
• Circuit Load Awareness: While the unit provides four outlets, they all share a single electrical circuit. The total combined power draw of all four connected devices should not exceed the rating of the circuit breaker (typically 16A or 20A). Avoid connecting four high-draw devices at once.
• Utilise the Switches: For maximum safety and to prevent standby power drain from chargers and power supplies, always use the dedicated switches to turn off power to sockets that are not in use.
• Care and Maintenance: To maintain the pristine finish, clean the coverplate with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a cloth lightly dampened with water. Avoid using abrasive pads, solvents, or chemical cleaning agents.
