Remove stubborn stains or paint with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners containing petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any bath surface for long periods of time. Remove plaster by carefully scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or other metal tools. Use a powder-type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild abrasive action to any residual plaster.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

DANGER: Risk of accidental injury or drowning. 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 bath.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electric appliances (such as a hair dryer, lamp, telephone, radio, or television) within 5’ (1.5 m) of this bath.

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.

WARNING: Risk of fetal injury. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using the bath.

WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia or drowning. Do not use the bath immediately following strenuous exercise.

WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia or drowning. Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may cause injury. Test and adjust the water temperature before use.

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

Use this bath only for its intended purpose as described in this guide. Do not use attachments not recommended by Kohler Co.

The bath must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI)*. Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, press the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Press the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI 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 bath. Disconnect the bath and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
