Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the power strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or sprays.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the power cord and the power strip for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires, cracks, or loose connections. If any damage is found, discontinue use and replace the unit.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the maximum electrical rating of 1875W (15A, 125V). Overloading can cause the circuit breaker to trip or lead to overheating.
