Close the drain and fill tub to
desired water level. Water level
must be at least to the top of trim
ring on highest jet before whirlpool
system is started. (See Figure 4).
Before using the whirlpool for the first
time, the system should be cleaned as
described in the
Whirlpool System Care
and Cleaning
section of this guide.
The following procedure is recommended
to remove most deposits and avoid
major accumulations inside the system
piping. The actual schedule for cleaning
will depend on system usage and water
quality, but should not exceed 90 days.
Fill tub to the top of the trim ring
on the highest jet with lukewarm
water. (Figure 4)
Add 1 cup low-sud-sing automatic
dishwater detergent and run the
whirlpool system for 20 minutes
(1 complete timer cycle)
Drain tub, refill with clean water and
operate the system for 20 minutes
(1 complete timer cycle) to rinse.
(Rinse thoroughly)
Occasionally sanitze the system by following
the cleaning procedure above, but subsitute
1 cup of household bleach for the
dishwasher detergent.
(Rinse very thououghly)
Refer to the unit installation for guidelines
on the unit surface care and cleaning.
Check both air controls as shown
in Figure 5. Avoid starting the
whirlpool with the air controls in
the fully closed position.
If the air controls are tightly closed,
rotate the knob counterclockwise
one-half revolution before starting
the system.
To start the whirlpool, gently touch
the button as shown in Figure 6.
The built-in 20-minute timer cycle
automatically begins when the
system is started.
To stop the whirlpool during the
timer cycle or to restart the system,
gently touch the switch button.
On systems equipped with an in-line
heater, the heater is automatically
operated though the internal heater
controls.
