...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
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.
