lamp protective cover. Eye damage may result from viewing
the UV light directly. 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.
IMPORTANT! 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.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product or property damage. Pushing or
pulling on the water connection may cause water leakage.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Do not apply excessive
force to the spray wands.
IMPORTANT! 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.
IMPORTANT! 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.
NOTE: The thermal protectors may trip during storage or
transportation in warm weather causing the unit to not operate.
Allow the unit to cool to room temperature before installation or
operation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Kohler Co. 3 1381632-5-A

Grounding Instructions
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a circuit
protected by a Class A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
(GFCI)*, which protects against line-to-ground shock hazard.
Use a 120 V, 15 A, 60 Hz service.
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 whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord with this product.
*Outside North America, this device may be known as a Residual
Current Device (RCD).

Grounding Instructions (cont.)
NOTICE: Follow local codes when determining the connection
type. The temporary connection may not be permitted by local
electrical codes.
NOTICE: To avoid possible product malfunction, do not plug in the
seat until instructed.
Preferred Connection
Connect the grounding plug into a grounded outlet that has the
same configuration as the plug.
Temporary Connection
NOTICE: Unless the outlet 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 the cover screw is grounded, have it checked by a qualified
electrician or service professional.
A temporary connection with a two-prong adapter may be used if
a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like extending from the
adapter must be connect to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by the screw.
