...can save a life!

IF YOU MUST USE YOUR HAIR DRYER IN THE BATHROOM, IN- STALL A GFCI*NOW!

Your local electrician can help you decide which type is best for you—a portable unit that plugs into the elec- trical 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? Elec- tricity 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 regu- lar 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 immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electrici- ty flow.
