Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) 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 replace-
ment of the plug or cord is needed use
identical replacement parts.
