Feature Highlights

Premium Matte Black Finish: A fingerprint-resistant, non-reflective finish that coordinates beautifully with minimalist and modern interior design styles.

Dual Switched Outlets (2-Gang): Two completely independent 13A power outlets allow you to power separate appliances side-by-side.

Integrated Red Neon Indicators: Quick-glance, built-in neon window lights illuminate when the individual switches are turned on, offering extra safety and energy management.

Concealed Screwless Profile: A clip-on front faceplate hides the mounting screws entirely, resulting in a smooth, seamless wall integration.

Internal Safety Shutters: Equipped with protective internal child-safety shutters to prevent accidental contact with live terminals.

Installation Instructions

⚠️ Safety Warning: Before beginning installation, always isolate the main electricity supply at the consumer unit / circuit breaker panel. Verify the power is completely off using a reliable voltage tester. If you are unsure about wiring regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a certified electrician.

Remove the Faceplate: Carefully unclip the front matte black outer plate from the main chassis using a small, flat-head tool if necessary.

Prepare the Wires: Strip back approximately 10–12mm of insulation from your household circuit wires (Live, Neutral, and Earth).

Connect the Terminals: Insert the exposed copper conductors into their corresponding brass terminal blocks on the back of the socket:

Live (L): Connect the Brown/Red wire to the terminal marked L.

Neutral (N): Connect the Blue/Black wire to the terminal marked N.

Earth (E or ⏚): Connect the Green-and-Yellow striped wire to the central terminal marked with the Earth symbol.

Secure and Tighten: Firmly tighten all terminal screws. Double-check that no bare copper wires are exposed outside the terminals.

Mount the Unit: Gently fold the wires back into a standard UK double back-box (minimum depth of 25mm–35mm recommended). Secure the chassis to the wall box using the provided mounting screws.

Attach Plate and Test: Snap the outer matte black plate back onto the chassis until it clicks flush against the wall. Restore main power and test using a plugged-in appliance.

Maintenance & Care Guide

Cleaning: To clean the matte surface, turn off the outlet switches and gently wipe the faceplate with a dry or very slightly damp microfiber cloth.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive pads, steel wool, liquid bleach, solvents, or aggressive chemical sprays, as these can permanently scratch or strip the matte black protective coat.

Inspection: Periodically inspect the socket faceplate for any loose fittings or cracks. If the plug fits too loosely inside the shutters over years of extended use, replace the unit to avoid electrical arcing.
