Tips

• Plug Compatibility: This socket is designed for the large, triangular 3-pin SANS 164-1 plug. It is not compatible with the new compact SANS 164-2 plugs ("New ZA"), Schuko, or Euro plugs.
• Level Mounting: For the best visual result that complements the clean lines of the design, use a spirit level during installation to ensure the socket is mounted perfectly horizontally in the wall box.
• Safe Installation: Always ensure the power is turned off at the main distribution board before beginning installation. Securely fasten the Live, Neutral, and Earth conductors into the correct terminals.
• Cleaning and Maintenance: To clean the faceplate, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or chemical sprays, as they can damage the polycarbonate finish.
• Check Appliance Load: While rated for 16A, always ensure the total load of the appliance you are plugging in does not exceed this rating.
