Title of Question: installing GFCI receptable/switch combo

 

Name: tom    City: smithtown

Question: I have a GFCI receptable/switch combination which has 2 black wires, brass screw and a silver screw. The existing box which had a single pole switch controlled the bathroom light has 5 wires. The 2 white are connected together, the 2 blacks go to one brass screw on the switch, and the red goes to the other brass screw on the switch. How do I connect the wires? thank you
