To fit: To avoid tarnishing:
• always disconnect the mains before starting • recommended not fit to freshly plastered or damp surfaces
• ensure cables used are of the correct rating & type • do not use masking tape – there really is no need with the Trendiswitch® screwless range!
• familiarise yourself carefully with the location of the terminal connectors before wiring
• follow diagrams below & ensure no bar wires protrude from the terminals
• rocker switches do not need to be earthed due to the plastic face plate
• screw frame into back/pattress box in wall
• clip switch plate back onto frame to create the screwless finish
• re-connect the mains supply
