Tips

It is imperative to understand the specific and regulated use of this product. Misuse can be dangerous.

• CRITICAL - MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN: The installation of a dedicated circuit and socket is a specialized task that must be performed by a certified electrician in strict accordance with SANS 10142-1. This is not a DIY product.
• CRITICAL - FOR DEDICATED APPLIANCES ONLY: This socket does not have earth leakage protection. DO NOT plug in general-purpose appliances that you handle regularly, such as kettles, toasters, irons, or vacuum cleaners. Only the designated essential appliance should be plugged into this socket.
• DO NOT USE AS A REGULAR SOCKET: Never install this red socket as a replacement for a standard white socket on a general-purpose circuit. Its colour is a specific safety indicator.
• UNDERSTAND THE CIRCUIT: The electrician will wire this socket to its own circuit breaker in the distribution board, bypassing the main earth leakage unit. This is what prevents nuisance tripping.
• CHECK WITH YOUR ELECTRICIAN: If you believe you need a dedicated socket, consult with your electrician. They will assess your needs and ensure the installation is performed safely and correctly according to the latest regulations.
