IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
When using electrical products, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a circuit protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI).
Outside North America, this may be known as a Residual Current Device (RCD).
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect the power before servicing.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. RG-3 UV radiation emitted from this device. Unintended use of the device, or damage to the housing, may result in exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Skin or eye injury could result. Avoid exposure of eyes and skin to unshielded lamp. Always be certain the lamp is off before opening the protective cover.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Replacement of the UV lamp must only be performed by qualified service personnel. The UV lamp cover has an interlock to reduce the risk of excessive ultraviolet radiation. Do not bypass the interlock. Reinstall the interlock after servicing.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not install this product in a location exposed to excessive moisture where condensation might form on the product surface. Provide adequate ventilation when bathing to avoid damage to the electronic components due to high humidity levels.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not supply electrical power to the unit until the plumbing installation work has been completed, as it may cause the product to malfunction.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not apply excessive force to the spray wand.
CAUTION: Risk of property or product damage. Pushing or pulling on the water connection may cause water leakage.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. In areas where water may freeze in the pipes, make arrangements to keep the pipes warm. Any water remaining in the seat may freeze during winter storage. Allow the unit to warm to room temperature before reinstalling or using.
NOTE: This product contains thermal protectors that may trip during storage or transportation in warm conditions, causing the unit to not operate. Allow the unit to cool to room temperature before installation or operation.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of electrocution:
Do not place or store this product where it can fall or be pulled into a bath or sink.
Do not place in or drop into water or other liquid.
Do not reach for a product that has fallen into water. Unplug immediately.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by or near children, the elderly, or invalids. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Adjust the temperature of the seat for the elderly, those who are incapacitated, or persons with sensitive skin.
Use this product only for its intended use as described in this manual. Only use attachments recommended by Kohler Co.
Never operate this product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped, damaged, or dropped into water. Return the product for examination and repair.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Never block the air openings of the product. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and the like.
Never use while sleeping or drowsy.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening or hose.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding Instructions

This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt whether the product is properly grounded.
This product is factory equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. Do not modify the plug provided — if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the connection should be made by qualified service personnel.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, a single cord may be used provided that the “Type” begins with “SJ”, the cord is a 12 gauge, grounded (12/3), is no longer than 25 feet (7.6 meters), and is plugged into a GFCI electrical outlet. Promptly replace an extension cord that exhibits any sign of
damage.
Outside North America, this may be known as a Residual Current Device (RCD).
