Usage
Your Hive Active Plug is designed for UK household
wiring, and for indoor use only.
For your safety
Your Hive Active Plug is not a circuit breaker and
does not contain a fuse, RCD or any other similar
device. If you’re using your Hive Active Plug, whether
at home or away, with appliances like kettles, heaters
and hair straighteners, please remember to follow
the safety advice for use of those appliances. For
example, ensure electric heaters are not covered
with clothing or other items.
Earthing
The earth connection from the wiring in your home
is passed through to the earth connection of the front
socket on the Hive Active Plug. It is safe to connect
equipment which relies on an earth connection
for safety.
Maintenance
Disconnect your Hive Active Plug before cleaning
and keep it away from water and other liquids at all
times. The Hive Active Plug does not contain any
serviceable parts so do not attempt to open it.
