OPERATION

Operating Instructions

  Now that your spa is in place, you are probably eager to take advantage of its unique designed-in features—

especially the famous Jacuzzi

®

 hydromassage performance.  Besides being a beautiful addition to your indoor decor

or outdoor landscaping, your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath spa will provide you with the ultimate in spa pleasure.  Familiarize
yourself with the operation of the electronic control panel, as described on page 6 of this manual.

WARNING:  Do not turn ON power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level.  Refer to water
line indicator mark on skimmer frame.  Whenever the power is ON, the system may activate even though no
controls are operated.  If the spa’s motor/pump is actuated when there is not sufficient water in the unit, the
circulation pump and heater could be irreparably damaged.  Not heeding this caution will nullify the warranty.  In
addition to damaging the unit, operating the spa with insufficient water could cause a fire.

Initial Instructions

• Using  a garden hose, fill the spa with water to the

water line indicator mark on the skimmer frame.  (Re-
fer to information on using the Water Rainbow spout if
desired.)

• At the house service panel, turn ON the circuit breaker

or switch that controls the electrical service to your
spa.  Make sure there is no other appliance on that
circuit.

• Your  spa  must  be  installed  in  an  electrical  circuit

protected with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
(refer to Electrical Requirements).  At initial start-up
and before each use thereafter, with power on, push
the GFCI test button.  The reset button should pop out.
Push this button in to reset.  If the interrupter fails to
operate  in  this  manner,  there  is  a  ground  current
flowing  or  a  device  malfunctioning,  indicating  the
possibility of electric shock.
DANGER:  Turn OFF power and do not use the spa
until the source of the problem has been identified
and corrected.
