GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
This product is supplied with a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into the power
cord plug. This device provides additional
protection from the risk of electric shock. If
power is interrupted in the line, the GFCI will
automatically re-close the circuit to the load
after power is restored. Depending on the
GFCI model, it may be necessary to manually
operate the reset button to restore power to
the GFCI load circuit. If replacement of the
plug or cord is needed use identical
replacement parts.
