Tips

To ensure a safe and professional installation of your S-TEC Blank Plate 4x4, please consider the following expert advice.

• CRITICAL: ENSURE POWER IS OFF: Before removing an old cover or installing this blank plate, it is absolutely essential to turn off the power to the corresponding circuit at your main distribution board. Use a voltage tester to confirm that the wires inside the box are dead.
• Professional Installation Recommended: While installing a blank plate is a simple task, if there are any live wires within the wall box, they must be safely terminated and insulated by a qualified electrician to prevent any risk of fire or electric shock.
• Secure Mounting: Ensure the plate is screwed firmly to the wall box to create a secure, gap-free cover. Do not over-tighten the screws, as this can crack the polycarbonate plate.
• Cleaning: To clean the plate, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as they can damage the finish of the polycarbonate.
