Important Information
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
DANGER: Risk of personal injury.
To reduce the risk of 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 whirlpool.
WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia. People using medications and/or having an adverse medical
history should consult a physician before using a whirlpool equipped with a heater.
Use this whirlpool 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.
Do not operate this unit without the guard (cover) over the suction fitting.
The whirlpool 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 whirlpool bath. Disconnect the whirlpool and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service representative before using.
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.
IMPORTANT! Flush your whirlpool system twice a month or more depending upon usage, as described
in the
″
Care and Cleaning
″
section.
Do not allow the water temperature in the whirlpool to exceed 104°F (40°C).
Keep small objects such as bath toys and bathing accessories out of the whirlpool while the unit is running.
Repeated use of personal care products containing oils can damage plastic whirlpool components. Do not use
heavy, vegetable-based shampoos or bath oils.
Whirlpool hydro-massage action can cause even a small amount of bubble bath, bath soap, shampoo, or bath
oil to foam excessively. For this reason, please don’t use these products during whirlpool operation.
