The plug turns your electrical applian-
ces smart by enabling you to control
them through the Bosch Smart Phone
APP at or away from home. It also
enables you to automatically switch
appliances on and off according to a
programmable timer and measure the
energy consumption.
Quick to install, the plug is ready to
use once it has been inserted into a
socket and configured in the app. Its
compact design means that surroun-

6.0 CONNECTING TO YOUR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE
6.1 Connecting instructions
Risk of injury even to the point of death from electric shock!
Touching live electrical parts can lead to electric shock.
▶ Do not open the product.
▶ Do not use the product if has visible signs of damage
(e.g. on the housing or on the controls).
▶ If you discover a fault, please contact our service team on
00800 8437 6278.
Prevailing regulations must be observed when connecting the product.
Failure to comply with the regulations can lead to material damage
and/or physical injury even to the point of death.
Please take the Technical Data (in particular the maximum permissible
switching capacity of the relay and the type of load to be connected)
into account before connecting a load! All load data relates to resistive
loads! Do not exceed the capacity specified for the device. Exceeding
this capacity could lead to the destruction of the device, to a fire or to an
electrical accident. The reliable switching off of the connected device is
not guaranteed anymore.

24 25
Ensure the smart plug is
not damaged do not plug
into socket if the casing
is damaged in any way.
▶ Connect the plug to an accessible,
grounded wall socket. In the event
of danger, pull the device out of the
mains socket.
▶ Do not insert plugs in a row. ▶ Do not use plugs in multiple socket
outlets or with extension leads.

26 27
6.2 Connecting process
Insert the plug into the socket.
The plug is now ready to use.
You can now plug in the required
electrical appliance.
▶ Do not connect any appliances
which could cause fire or other
damage if switched on inadvertently
(e.g. irons).
▶ Do not use plugs to disconnect appli-
ances from the mains. The load is not
galvanically isolated from the mains.
▶ Devices with electronic power supply
units (e.g. TV or high voltage LED light
sources) are no ohmic loads. They
can generate inrush currents with
more than 100 A. Switching such kind
of loads may lead to premature wear
of the actuator. In consequence the
reliable switching off of the connected
device is not guaranteed anymore.
