Here are the guidelines for installing and using the electrical power bar in my vanity.
Our vanities are equipped with conveniently built-in electrical outlets, which offers access to power your devices, all while maintaining a clean and hassle-free aesthetic. Below, we’ve outlined a comprehensive guide on how to install, use, and maintain the power bar safely. Please consult a certified electrician for all installations to ensure compliance with local building codes and safety regulations.
Installation Guide:
- Map the Installation Area:
- Before starting, identify a suitable location for the electrical outlet in your bathroom, relative to the placement of your new vanity.
- Make sure the outlet is accessible from either the rear or side or side of the vanity, allowing the power bar’s built-in GFCI plug to reach.
- Install the Outlet:
- A certified electrician should install the electrical outlet within the mapped area, ensuring that it’s within reach of the power cord when the vanity is fully installed.
- Access for the power cord can conveniently pass through the cutouts located along the backside of the vanity to connect to the electrical wall outlet.
- Plug in and Secure:
- Connect the power bar’s GFCI plug to the outlet and secure the power bar inside the vanity using the mounting brackets provided.
Safety Guidelines for Use:
- Avoid Overloading:
The power bar is rated for 15A 125VAC 60Hz with USB ports outputting 5VDC 2.1A MAX. Make sure not to exceed these specifications to prevent electrical hazards. - Keep Away from Moisture and Chemicals:
Do not store any chemicals (e.g., ammonia, bleach, alcohol-based products) near the power bar, as they can cause corrosion, fire, or explosion risks. - Indoor Use Only:
This power bar is designed exclusively for indoor use. Avoid installing or using it outdoors.
How to Maintain the Power Bar:
- Regular Inspections:
Periodically check the power bar, plug, and cord for signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. - Disconnect Before Cleaning:
Always unplug the power bar before performing any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock.
