Tips

• Ensure Grid Plate Compatibility: The CBi Blank Switch Insert White (LI662-P) is designed specifically for CBI-electric's Plastic Range grid plates (e.g., G000-P, G001-P, G002-P, G003-P, G004-P, G005-P, G006-P, G007-P, G008-P, G010-P). Always confirm that your grid plate is from this compatible range to ensure a proper and secure fit.
• Snap-In Installation: The LI662-P is designed for tool-free, snap-in installation. Simply align the insert with the desired slot in the grid plate and press firmly until it clicks into place. Do not force it if it doesn't align correctly.
• Safety First (for the plate): While the blank insert itself is non-electrical, if you are installing it into a grid plate that is connected to live wiring, always ensure that the power to the relevant circuit is completely disconnected at the main distribution board before performing any work on the wall plate. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
• Maintain Cleanliness: To preserve the pristine white finish, regularly wipe the blank insert with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the plastic or leave residue.
• Consider Future Needs: When designing your electrical layout, think about potential future requirements. Using a blank insert in a multi-gang grid plate provides a convenient and discreet way to reserve a spot for a future light switch, dimmer, or other control without needing to replace the entire plate later.
• Aesthetic Consistency: For a truly cohesive and professional look throughout your property, consider pairing the LI662-P with other CBI-electric Plastic Range accessories (e.g., light switches, socket outlets, other grid plates) that share the same design language and white finish.
• Check for Damage: Before and after installation, inspect the blank insert for any cracks, chips, or deformities. A damaged insert may not provide adequate protection or maintain its aesthetic appeal. Replace any damaged inserts immediately.
