SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

WARNING: Risk of personal 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’ (1.5 m) of this bath with airjets.

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.

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 bath with airjets.

A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the blower motor 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 bath with airjets 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.

The bath with airjets must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). Such a GFCI or RCD should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI or RCD, press the test button. The GFCI or RCD should interrupt power. Press the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI or RCD fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI or RCD is defective. If the GFCI or RCD 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.

Your new Kohler bath with airjets has been listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories, thus ensuring safety for you and your family. Your new bath with airjets also conforms to rigid ANSI and IAPMO standards set within the plumbing industry.
