Wiring a Leviton Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) outlet safely requires extreme attention to terminal placement. First, turn off power at the main breaker and test with a voltage tester. Identify the incoming "Line" wires carrying hot power from the electrical panel and connect them to the brass (hot) and silver (neutral) terminals labeled LINE. If protecting downstream receptacles, connect outgoing wires to the terminals labeled LOAD. Connect the bare copper wire to the green grounding screw. Verification: Restore breaker power, press the TEST button to verify the unit cuts power (indicated by a tripping click and status light), then press RESET to restore normal operation.
