DanGer... injury:
to reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit
unless they are closely supervised at all times. supervision is also recommended when
an elderly or handicapped individual uses a walk-in bathtub.
•
Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this installation manual and the corresponding
operating manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
•
Never drop or insert any object in any opening within the whirlpool system.
• Do not operate this unit without the guard over the suction fitting. The guard is a safety device that reduces
the potential hazard of hair or body entrapment. Keep hair and body away from suction guard while the
water pump is running. Should the suction guard be covered by an object, the integrated air line will vacate
the suction and release the object.
•
This unit 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, push the test button. The GFCI should then 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
without the test button being pushed there is a ground current flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric
shock. If this should occur, do not use this hydromassage bathtub. Disconnect the hydromassage bathtub
and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before further use.
• Bliss tubs are UL certified for installation and use within the United States. The electrical connections must
remain the standard three-prong (NEMA) connections and are not to be permanently installed or altered in
any way. More detailed electrical installation and use instructions are provided later in this manual.
