IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Grounding is required. Connect only to circuits protected by a
Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD).
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. A qualified service representative and a licensed electrician
must install this product and route all electrical wiring for the product. Improper installation will
create an electrical hazard and may not comply with local building and electrical codes.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before performing any maintenance. When
disconnected, the product will no longer be electrically live, which will eliminate the risk of electric
shock.
WARNING: Risk of injury or property damage. Please read all instructions thoroughly before
beginning installation.
NOTICE: Follow all plumbing, electrical and building codes.
NOTICE: Provide generous, unrestricted service access to the valve and interface. This access must be
located immediately next to the valve. Refer to the roughing-in information.
