Safety Precautions

• • Wattage Limit: This multi plug adapter is intended for low-power electronics; never use it with high-draw appliances like kettles, heaters, or hair dryers.
• • Socket Fit: Ensure your 2-pin plugs are pushed firmly into the Euro adapter sockets to avoid arcing or loose connections.
• • Dry Areas Only: Do not use in wet or damp environments; keep away from kitchen sinks and laundry areas.
• • Inspection: Regularly check the pins and housing for signs of discolouration or heat damage; replace immediately if visible wear occurs.
• • Single Use: Avoid plugging additional multi-way adapters into this unit (daisy-chaining) as this can lead to circuit overloading.
