That statement presumes knowledge of GFI that I did not have - load side means nothing to a layperson

On the back of the GFI the ports will be labeled, line or load. Line goes to the breaker box, load goes to all outlets you need protected.

Load side here essentially means end of the chain. So Breaker ---- anything else ----- GFI - Bidet ----nothing else.

When you put a GFI receptical on a line there are two ways, either in series or parallel, if you do it in series then everything down stream of that outlet is protected by GFI. One thing you dont want to happen is two GFI on the same line, so if you have GFI breakers in your box dont add a GFI outlet on one.

Good luck, its easy enough to install because its the same as really any outlet, you just need to know where it is in the chain.
