Safety Requirements
It’s important you observe some simple precautions before using the product:
The Energy Control Monitor does not require you to carry out any electrical wiring. However, it is to be used in and around the electricity supply to your property. If you have any doubt about how to install it safely, do not attempt to install it yourself, but consult a qualified electrician.
Similarly, if you notice anything unusual about your electricity supply, such as loose wires, exposed cabling, burn marks or holes in the insulating materials, damage to your meter, then stop immediately and consult an electrician.
Do not attempt to repair or service any part of the Energy Control Monitor equipment.

· Do not immerse the product in water, or any other liquids.
· Do not expose the product to heat, flame, steamy conditions or extreme cold.
· Do not open the equipment or touch any of its electronic circuitry.
· Do not hit, strike or drop the equipment - if the display gets broken, take special care not to touch the liquid
crystals.
· Do not use this product for any purpose other than for which it was intended.

 

 

The Product 

The beauty of Energy Control Monitor is that it shows you how much energy you’re using right now. And it also shows how much it’s going to cost you every day and every month, unless you alter your behaviour.
It can’t save you money on its own.
It can help you change your habits.

So we suggest you check the display quite regularly. If it shows that your usage is high, it could mean there’s somethingyou can switch off now, like a light bulb or an appliance on stand-by.

As you leave the house, it’s a good idea to check the display. It will show you exactly how much electricity you’ll beusing even when you’re not at home. Check the display before you go to bed. How much money will you spend while you’re asleep? And what can you save by switching off an appliance?

Monitor how much money it costs you just to boil the kettle, or cook a meal. Can you save by only partially filling the kettle (ensuring the element is covered), or by turning down the rings on your hob?

 

Test out whether you can save money and power by switching off appliances, rather than leaving them on stand-by.You might be surprised how much energy is wasted when some appliances are left in standby mode rather than turning them off altogether.
