Device (RCD).
WARNING: Risk of electric shock or product damage. Do
not immerse or flush the product with water.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage: Do not push or pull
on the water connection to prevent water leakage.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)
•Allow the unit to cool to room temperature before installation or
operation. The thermal protectors may trip during storage or
transportation in warm weather causing the unit to not operate.
User Instructions
•Before installation or for long-term storage of this product, protect
the product by storing it in its original carton. Failure to do so
may result product damage (such as scratches, loss of function)
and/or dangerous situations (such as damage to the cord).
•Verify the power cord and water hose are not susceptible to
damage. Ensure the clips (provided) are attached evenly along the
water hose and power cord. If the clips were not installed, attach
them at this time. This will prevent twisting or damage to the
water hose and power cord and will extend the life of the
product.
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 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 as to whether the product is properly grounded.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING: Risk of electric shock, fire, or personal injury.
This product must be grounded and connected only to a
dedicated, nominal 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit protected by a
minimum 15 A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or
Residual Current Device (RCD). If the product is not
grounded or a higher voltage circuit is used, electric shock,
fire, or personal injury may occur.
NOTICE: This product is factory equipped with a specific electrical
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. Do not use an adapter 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
reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel.
NOTICE: Do not use an extension cord with this product.
NOTICE: Consult your local electrical codes before determining the
connection type and the electrical outlet location. The temporary
connection may not be permitted by local electrical codes and the
electrical outlet location may be specified.
NOTICE: Do not plug in the seat until instructed to do so. This will
avoid possible product malfunction.

Wiring Requirements (cont.)
Preferred Connection
Determine the electrical outlet location. The electrical outlet
should be located within 12″(30.5 cm) of the toilet to
accommodate the length of the power cord. An extension cord
cannot be connected to the seat’s power cord.
Route the electrical wires, then install and ground the electrical
outlet. This electrical outlet must be a dedicated, nominal 120
VAC, 60 Hz circuit protected by a minimum 15 A Ground-Fault
Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). Do
not insert the plug into the electrical outlet at this time.
Temporary Connection
NOTICE: Unless the cover screw is grounded through the house
wiring, attaching the adapter grounding screw tab to the cover
screw will NOT ground the unit. If there is any doubt whether
cover screw is grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician
or service professional.
A temporary connection with a two-prong adapter may be made
where local codes permit, provided that the adapter is grounded.

Test the Functions
Wrap the toilet seat with plastic wrap. This will prevent water
from spraying from the toilet during testing.
Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. The seat will go
through a power-up sequence where the power indicator LED
will flash amber. Once power-up sequence is complete and the
tank is full, the indicator will turn green.
Face the toilet, then place your hand or a damp wash cloth on the
right side of the seat approximately 1/3 from the front of the seat
(as illustrated).
Proceed to the ″Keypad and Panel Diagram″and “Operation”
sections in the Homeowner’s Guide to test the various seat
functions.
