This symbol is known as the ‘Crossed-out Wheelie Bin Symbol’. When this symbol is marked on a product or battery. It
means that it should not be disposed of with your general household waste. Some chemicals contained within electrical/
electronic products or batteries can be harmful to health and the environment. Only dispose of electrical/electronic/

Your co-operation is vital to ensure the success of these schemes and for the protection of the environment.
WHAT IS A SAFETY RCD ADAPTOR
Your Masterplug Safety RCD Adaptor continuously monitors the power supply to an electrical appliance and cuts off the power
within 40 milliseconds if an earth current fault is detected. This is fast enough to prevent a fatal electrical shock. Electrical
appliances can become dangerous if the wiring becomes loose, if they or their power cords become damaged or if they get
wet. Electrocution is also possible if ngers, wet hair or other conductive bodies enter the appliance. In all these cases your
Masterplug Safety RCD Adaptor will instantly cut off the electricity before a potentially fatal electric shock occurs.
