GFCI Receptacles
GFCI receptacles protect the user from elec-
tric shock if a ground fault occurs in equip-
ment connected to the receptacle. A ground
fault occurs when electrical current takes
the shortest path to ground (which could be
through a person) rather than follow its in-
tended safe path.

If a ground fault is detected, the GFCI Reset
button pops out, and the circuit opens to dis-
connect power to the faulty equipment. A
GFCI receptacle does not protect against
circuit overloads, short circuits, or shocks
not related to ground faults. Reset and test
GFCI receptacle according to the following
procedures.
A solid green LED indicates power to the
GFCI. A solid red LED indicates that the
GFCI has been tripped.
Resetting/Testing GFCI Receptacle
Test GFCI monthly.
If Red LED blinks, stop using GFCI
receptacle and have a Factory Au-
thorized Service Agent replace it.
Extension cords with bad insulation
or of extended length can allow
enough leakage current to trip the
GFCI circuit. Reset and test as
follows.
