  • 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 freshwater contamination. If the connection is made to a potable water system, the potable water system needs to be protected from backflow. Install an approved backflow prevention device.
• 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. To reduce the risk of product malfunction, do not supply electrical power to the unit until the plumbing installation work has been completed.
• 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: If the supply cord is damaged, the supply cord must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified agent to avoid a hazard.
• 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.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS 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. Verify 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 the plug does 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 use of an extension cord is necessary, 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).
