GFCI s are proven lifesavers, however, consumers need to take a few minutes each
month to do this simple test. By taking action, you can help protect your family from
the risk of electric shock.
GFCI Breaker
Perform this test on the GFI Breaker each month and record the date on the chart.
1. With handle B in “ON” position, press PUSH TO TEST button A.
2. Handle B should move to TRIP position, indicating that GFCI breaker has opened
the circuit.
3. To restore power move handle B to “OFF” and the to “ON
Important: If handle B does not move to TRIP position when test button is pressed,
the GFCI breaker protection is not complete. If this happens, replace GFCI breaker.
GFCI Receptacle
To properly test GFCI receptacles in your home:
Push the “Reset” button located on the GFCI receptacle, first to
assure normal GFCI operation.
Plug a nightlight (with an “ON/OFF” switch) or other product (such
as a lamp) into the GFCI receptacle and turn the product “ON.”
Push the “Test” button located on the GFCI receptacle. The nightlight or other product
should go “OFF.”
Push the “Reset” button, again. The light or other product should go “ON” again.
If the light or other product remains “ON” when the “Test” button is pushed, the GFCI
is not working properly or has been incorrectly installed (miss wired). If your GFCI is
not working properly, call a qualified, certified electrician who can assess the situation,
rewire the GFCI if necessary or replace the device.
