READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!

!WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not permit children to use this unit without adult supervision.

!WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not operate this unit without the guard over the suction fitting.

!WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electrical appliances (hair dryer, telephone, radio, etc.) within 60 inches (1524mm) of this unit.

!WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia and possible drowning. People using medications and/or having adverse medical history should consult a physician before using this product.

!WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not overfill unit before entering. Entering tub when filled more than 2/3 can cause overflow and slippery conditions. Exercise caution when entering and exiting.

!WARNING: No Food or Alcoholic Beverages. Use of your bathtub immediately after meals is not recommended. Avoid alcohol consumption before or during bathing. Alcoholic beverages can cause drowsiness or hyperthermia resulting in loss of consciousness or even drowning.

!WARNING: Pregnancy. If you are or think you may be pregnant, consult your physician before using the bathtub.

Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use any attachments not recommended by American Standard.

The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is properly 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, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push 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 bathtub without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this hydromassage bathtub. Disconnect the hydromassage bathtub and have the problem corrected by a licensed electrician before using.

A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor unit to permit connection of a no. 8 AWG solid copper bonding conductor between this unit and all other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to comply with local requirements. To reduce the risk of an electric shock, connect this connector to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this unit.
