- Final Check: Verify that the intermediate ring is firmly seated and does not wobble. Proceed with installing the final cover or switch/socket module as per its own instructions.

6. Maintenance
The intermediate ring requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning will help maintain its appearance.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the polycarbonate material and finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of damage or loose fitting. If the ring becomes damaged, it should be replaced.
7. Troubleshooting
- Ring does not fit properly: Ensure you have the correct intermediate ring for your central plate and mounting box. Verify that there are no obstructions preventing a flush fit.
