GFCI Receptacle
To properly test GFCI receptacles:
Push the “Reset” button located on the GFCI receptacle, first to
assure normal GFCI operation.
Plug a night light (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 night light 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.
