Default How does one replace an electrical outlet with a combo Switch/Outlet?

There is now a normal electrical outlet in the wall and I want to replace it with the Leviton Switch / Outlet. I have an indoor water feature that does NOT have an on/off switch on the device itself. I must reach behind the water feature and plug it in to turn it on and unplug it to turn it off. For this problem, I was sold the Switch / Outlet from Home Depot and was told the directions for install was in the box. I can't make heads or tails of the directions. I would like to leave the water feature plugged in at all times and to be able to turn the water feature on/off at the combo outlet's switch. I do not need a GFCI. How do I install the Switch / Outlet? I have only a "small" amount of knowledge with electrical; although, I have changed out outlets before and have installed dimmers and ceiling fans on my own. Below is a description and photo of the switch/outlet: Thank you, BeverlyAnn
