Hyperthermia Danger
Prolonged exposure to hot air/water can induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level 3-6 degrees above the normal body temperature of 37 degrees C
(98.6 degrees F) While hyperthermia has many health benefits, it is important not to allow your body’s core
temperature to rise above 103 degrees F. Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness and fainting. The effects of excessive hyperthermia may include failure to perceive heat, failure
to recognize the need to exit, unawareness of impending hazard, damage to pregnant women, physical
inability to exit the unit and unconsciousness.
Safety Instructions
If the power supply cord becomes damaged, •
it must be immediately replaced by a L.M.S.
certified technician or licensed electrician to

Never unplug the power cord or adjust the
controls with wet hands or when you have wet
bare feet. A danger of electrical shock exists.
Do not attempt any repair without consulting the

We strongly recommend the use of a ground fault •
circuit interrupter (GFCI) device in any potentially
wet locations, or the manufacturer’s warranty is
void.
