Recommendations

Ensure that the outlet is installed by a qualified electrician and that circuit protection (fuse or circuit breaker) matches the 16 A rating. Avoid overloading the outlet by checking the combined current draw of connected devices. Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using aggressive solvents. In damp or outdoor environments, choose outlets with appropriate ingress protection and additional protective measures.
