About wire connections:
Connect the LINE cable wires to the LINE terminals:
• The white wire connects to the White terminal (Silver)
• The black wire connects to the Hot terminal (Brass)
Connect the ground wire (only if there is a ground wire):
• For a box with no ground terminal (diagram not shown): Connect the LINE
cable’s bare copper (or green) wire directly to the ground terminal on the GFCI
receptacle.
• For a box with a ground terminal (diagram shown above): Connect a 6-inch bare
copper (or green) 12 or 14 AWG wire to the ground terminal on the GFCI. Also
connect a similar wire to the ground terminal on the box. Connect the ends of
these wires to the LINE cable’s bare copper (or green) wire using a wire
connector. If these wires are already in place, check the connections.
Complete the installation:
• Fold the wires into the box, keeping the ground wire away from the White and
Hot terminals. Screw the receptacle to the box and attach the wall plate.
• Go to step 8.
About wire connections:
Connect the LINE cable wires to the LINE terminals:
• The white wire connects to the White terminal (Silver)
• The black wire connects to the Hot terminal (Brass)
Connect the LOAD cable wires to the LOAD terminals:
• Remove the yellow sticker to reveal the LOAD terminals
• The white wire connects to the White terminal (Silver)
• The back wire connects to the Hot terminal (Brass)
Connect the ground wires as shown above (only if there is a ground wire):
• Connect a 6-inch bare copper (or green) 12 or 14 AWG wire to the ground
terminal on the GFCI. If the box has a ground terminal, also connect a similar
wire to the ground terminal on the box. Connect the ends of these wires to the
LINE and LOAD cable’s bare copper (or green) wire using a wire connector. If
these wires are already in place, check the connections.
Complete the installation:
• Fold the wires into the box, keeping the ground wire away from the White and
Hot terminals. Screw the receptacle to the box and attach the wall plate.
• Go to step 8.
8. Test your work
Why perform this test?
• If you miswired the GFCI, it may not prevent personal injury or death due to a
ground fault (electrical shock).
• If you mistakenly connect the LINE wires to the LOAD terminals, the GFCI will
still operate like an ordinary receptacle, but it will not interrupt a ground fault.
Procedure:
(a) Turn the power ON at the service panel. Press the RESET but-
ton fully. The RESET button should stay in. If the RESET button
does not stay in, go to Troubleshooting. If the RESET button
stays in, plug a lamp or radio into the GFCI (and leave it
plugged in) to verify that the power is ON. If there is no power,
go to Troubleshooting.
(b) Press the TEST button in order to trip the device. This should
stop the flow of electricity, making the radio or lamp shut OFF
and the GFCI’s red Trip Indicator Light (if present) come on.
Note that the RESET button will pop-out. If the power stays ON,
go to Troubleshooting. If the power goes OFF, you have installed
the GFCI receptacle correctly. To restore power, press the
RESET button.
(c) If you installed your GFCI using step 7B, plug a lamp or radio into
surrounding receptacles to see which one(s), in addition to the
GFCI, lost power when you pressed the TEST button. Do not plug
life saving devices into any receptacles that lost power. Place a
“GFCI Protected” sticker on every receptacle that lost power.
(d) Press the TEST button (then RESET button) every month to
assure proper operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Turn the power OFF and check the wire connections against the appropriate
wiring diagram in step 7A or 7B. Make sure that there are no loose wires or
loose connections. Also, it is possible that you reversed the LINE and LOAD
connections. LINE/LOAD reversal will be indicated by power remaining ON at
the GFCI and by the RESET button not staying in when pressed. Reverse the
LINE and LOAD connections if necessary. Start the test from the beginning of
step 8 if you rewired any connections to the GFCI.
