What Questions Does This Product Answer?

"Can I use this plate with any switch or socket?" — This plate is compatible with Italy-standard (Type L) switch and socket modules that fit 118×75mm back boxes. The plate is a decorative cover only — the switch/socket module is purchased separately and clips into the plate frame.
"Is the wood grain finish durable?" — The spray-painted finish is resistant to normal handling and cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners which will scratch the surface. Clean with a damp cloth only.
"How do I install this wall plate?" — Remove the existing wall plate by unscrewing the fixing screws. Insert the switch/socket module into the new plate frame. Align the plate over the back box and secure with the provided screws. No electrical work is required — the plate is a cosmetic cover only.
