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.
An equipment grounding terminal is provided in the field wiring compartment. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply panel with a
conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this whirlpool.
A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the pump or control within this unit to permit
connection of a bonding conductor between this unit and all other exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to
comply with local requirements.
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 Earth-Leakage Circuit-Breaker (ELCB). Such a GFCI or ELCB should be
provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI or ELCB, press the test
button. The GFCI or ELCB should interrupt power. Press the reset button. Power should be restored. If the
GFCI or ELCB fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI or ELCB is defective. If the GFCI or ELCB 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 Care and Cleaning Instructions in this manual.
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.
