Instruction Manual
Warnings s
ATTENTION :
Read this booklet carefully as it contains important instructions for a safe installation,
use and maintenance.
Important instructions to be kept for future reference.
The following basic precautions should always be followed when using electrical
appliances:
1. Read all instructions before using the Extension Socket.
The Extension Socket
2. This Extension Socket must be used only for the purpose it was expressly
designed; any use NOT complying with the instructions contained in the manual
is considered inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible
for possible damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
3. The installation of the Extension Socket will be made in accordance with the
indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to
persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered
responsible.
4. Before use, check the integrity of the powerboard, power cable and plug. DO NOT
operate the Extension Socket when any of these are damaged. In case you are
not sure, contact a qualified person. If the device is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid
a shock hazard.
5. Before powering the Extension Socket make sure the rating (voltage and
frequency) corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the
device, and that the wall socket is properly grounded. This device is fitted with an
earth wire for extra safety.
6. Check the Extension Socket's wattage rating, which is the amount of electricity it
can safely transmit per second, and is provided either in watts or in amps and volts.
(Multiply the amps and volts together to get the wattage rating.) The wattage rating
must be greater than the appliance’s power requirement. If you plan to plug
multiple appliances into a cable, add their wattages together to make sure the total
DOES NOT exceed the device's wattage rating.
7. Make sure to choose cable that’s long enough, and DO NOT attempt to extend
the length by connecting multiple extension sockets. This mistake can lead to fires,
equipment failures and electrocution. Power cable ratings are determined by
length. Plugging two cables together reduces their current capacity in half which
will result in voltage drop and overheating.
