...can save a life!
IF YOU MUST USE YOUR HAIR DRYER IN THE
BATHROOM, INSTALL A GFCI*NOW!
Your local electrician can help you decide
which type is best for you—a portable unit that
plugs into the electrical outlet or a permanent
unit installed by your electrician. The National
Electrical Code now requires GFCI's in the
bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of all
new homes.
WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI? Electricity and
water don't mix. If your hair dryer falls in water
while it's plugged in, the electric shock can kill
you...even if the switch is
"off." A regular fuse or circuit
breaker won't protect you
under these circumstances. A
GFCI offers you far greater
protection.
A GFCI can save your life! Compared to that,
the price is small! Don't wait...install
one now!
*GFCI is a sensitive device which reacts imme-
diately to a small electric current leak by stop-
ping the electricity flow.
