This is an electrical product. Do not install it anywhere water is likely to
get on the product or anywhere with humidity high enough that water is
likely to form on the surface of this product. When using the product in a
bathroom, install a fan or ventilation port and ensure good air fl ow through
the bathroom.
Failure to do so could cause a fi re or electrical shock.
•
If the electric cord is damaged, avoid danger by having the manufacturer’s
repair department or equivalent specialist replace it.
Insert the power plug securely into the outlet.
Failure to do so could cause a fi re, heat or a short.
•

Failure to do so could cause a fi re or electrical shock.
•
[Asia, Oceania]
Check that the power plug is waterproofed with silicone rubber.
A power plug that is not water-proofed could cause a fi re and electrical shock.
•
* If the power plug is not water-proofed, ask the contractor who did the installation to water-
proof it.
Check that an appropriate ground is installed.
If the ground is not installed, if there is a breakdown or electrical current leak, the lack of a
•
ground could cause electrical shock.
For the ground, use copper wire with a ground resistance of 100 Ω max. and a diameter of
0.005 ft (1.6 mm) min.
* If there is no ground installed, ask the contractor who did the installation to install a ground.
Check that the outlet for electrical power is as follows.
Failure to do so could cause a fi re or electrical shock.
•
a. Protect the outlet circuits with a high-sensitivity quick leakage switch (with a rated current
sensitivity of 15mA or less) or an insulating transformer (1.5kVA min., 3kVA max.).
b. Install the outlet and plug positioned at least 2.62 ft (0.8 m) above the fl oor and as far as
possible from the bathtub.
* Check that the wiring in a. and b. above is complete. If the wiring has not been completed,
ask the contractor who did the installation to do it.

pads.
These items could damage or crack the plastic and cause injury or malfunction.
•
These items could damage the water supply hose and cause a water leak.
•
Do not apply strong force, mechanical shock, step on or stand on the toilet
seat, toilet lid or main unit. Also do not place any heavy object on the toilet
seat, toilet lid or main unit.
