Operating Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using electrical products, basic

precautions should always be followed, including the following:

DANGER: Risk of personal injury. To reduce the risk

of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. To avoid injury,

exercise care when entering or exiting the whirlpool.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit

electric appliances (such as a hair dryer, lamp, telephone, radio, or television) within 5’ (1.5m) of this whirlpool.

WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia. People using

medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a whirlpool equipped with a heater.

An equipment grounding terminal is provided in the field wiring compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this whirlpool.

A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the pump or control within this unit to permit connection of a bonding conductor between this unit and all other exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to comply with local requirements.

Use this whirlpool only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.

Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

Do not operate this unit without the guard (cover) over the suction fitting.

The whirlpool must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Earth-Leakage Circuit-Breaker (ELCB). Such a GFCI or ELCB should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI or ELCB, press the test button. The GFCI or ELCB should interrupt power. Press the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI or ELCB fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI or ELCB is defective. If the GFCI or ELCB interrupts power to the bath without the test button being pressed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this whirlpool bath. Disconnect the whirlpool and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication

can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6_F (37_C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include: (a) failure to perceive heat, (b) failure to recognize the need to exit the bath, (c) unawareness of impending hazard, (d) fetal damage in pregnant women, (e) physical inability to exit the bath, and (f) unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.

IMPORTANT! Flush your whirlpool system twice a month or more depending upon usage, as described on Page 6.

Do not allow the water temperature in the whirlpool to exceed 104_F (40_C).

Keep small objects such as bath toys and bathing accessories out of the whirlpool while the unit is running. Repeated use of personal care products containing oils can damage plastic whirlpool components. Do not use heavy, vegetable-based shampoos or bath oils.

Whirlpool hydro-massage action can cause even a small amount of bubble bath, bath soap, shampoo, or bath oil to foam excessively. For this reason, please don’t use these products during whirlpool operation.
