2. GROUND INSTRUCTIONS

Bio Bidet BB-500 has three-prong grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces that risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

The use of an extension cord is not recommended or advised.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension cord that a three blades grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on Bio Bidet BB-500. (see below wiring requirement.)
The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating or the unit (10ampt). Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you are not sure whether the unit is properly grounded.
AS a further safety precaution, your local electrical code may require a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

3. WIRING REQUIREMENT

Bio Bidet BB-500 MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AT LEAST A 120v ac, 60HZ and the rated power consumption is 600W Grounded outlet. Where only a standard two-prong outlet is available, it is the responsibility of the user to install a grounded three-prong outlet (Fig. 1). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident. UCI, Inc is not responsible for damage resulting from the use of Bio Bidet BB-500 on other than specified voltage, or operating it without proper grounding.


A TEMPORARY CONNECTION with a two-prong adaptor may be made where LOCAL CODES PERMIT, provided that the adaptor is grounded (Fig. 2). Unless the cover screw is grounded through the house wiring, attaching the adaptor grounding plate to the cover screw will NOT ground the unit. If there is any doubt that the cover screw is grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrical or service person.


Bio Bidet BB-500 must be on a separated circuit. No other appliance should share the circuit with Bio Bidet BB-500. Sharing a circuit could cause the branch circuit fuse to blow or the circuit breaker to trip. Continuous usage under these conditions could result in a fire.
