Operating Instructions

The Leviton 83009 wallplate functions as a protective and decorative cover for your electrical toggle switches. Once installed, it requires no active operation. Ensure the switches beneath operate freely without obstruction from the wallplate.

Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and cleanliness of your wallplate:

• Wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.

Troubleshooting

• Wallplate does not fit flush: Ensure the electrical device(s) are properly seated within the wall box and that no wires are pinched behind the device or wallplate. Check for any obstructions in the wall box.
• Scratches on surface: The wallplate comes with a protective film. If scratches are present after removing the film, contact Leviton customer support.
• Screws do not tighten: Ensure you are using the correct screws provided with the wallplate. If the screw holes in the electrical device are stripped, the device itself may need replacement.
