IMPORTANT
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
1. Read these instructions and rules carefully. Failure to follow them
could cause serious body injuries and/or property damages.
2. Check your local electrical safety and plumbing codes. The
installation must comply with these guidelines.
3. No modifications, additions or deletions should be made to the blower
without factory approval.
4. Do not relocate blower without prior approval from the factory.
5. Ensure that a class A ground fault interrupter (G.F.I.) is installed as part
of the wiring and that the switch complies with EN 60335-1 clause 24.3.
6. Wiring should be permanent. Do not use an extension cord. Have the
electrical part of the installation done by, or approved by, a qualified
electrician.
7. The blower has no serviceable parts.
8. The muffler must be in place to encounter the IPX5 class of standard
IEC 529 clause 14.2.5.
INSTALLATION
Air massage bathtub installation
1. Never handle your air massage bathtub by the piping.
2. Do not rest your bath unit on the jets located underneath the bathtub.
Make sure that back jets are adequately protected when entering the
unit into your bathroom. Be careful not to hit a wall or door frame with
the back jets.
IMPORTANT
An access p
panel of 30" x 15" (75cm x 40cm) must be
located near the blower to allow easy servicing if need be.
Final installation
1. IMPORTANT: The blower must not be insulated and must have sufficient
air space to permit proper functioning. Surrounding air should be
able to reach the room under the apron or the podium of your bathtub.
2. If factory installed, the optional heating element on your air massage
system heats the air blown into the bathtub for the comfort of the
customer. It will not, under any circumstances, reheat or maintain
the temperature of the bath water.
3. Area underneath and around the bathtub must be cleaned before
finalizing the installation to ensure that no wood shavings or other
particles enter into the air blower and are blown through the jets.
4. Before filling with water, clean bathtub from installation debris and dirt.
If necessary use a vacuum cleaner.
5. Verify connection and functioning of touch pad and air blower before
finalizing the installation.
AIR MASSAGE SYSTEM
Introduction
Thank you for your confidence in CG Air Systèmes inc. by purchasing
your new air massage system.
We can assure you that CG Air Systèmes inc. uses the best materials and
applies the most strict quality control measures to ensure that each and
every unit meets the highest standards of the Canadian Standard
Association (CSA), Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and TÜV Bauart.
The origins of Air Massage...
Air massage, also known as balneotherapy, is the use of air mixed with
water to gently but efficiently massage the body.
Its soothing and pain relieving virtues were already recognized by the
Romans. But, unlike the Romans who could only afford the pleasures of
a relaxing and invigorating bath every now and then, the technology
developed by CG Air Systèmes inc. allows you to enjoy the benefits of
balneotherapy every day in your own bathroom.
Safe use of your air massage bathtub
Your new massage system provides you with a gentle, overall massage.
The massage effect is obtained by injecting warm air through air jets into
the bathwater. Using the blower for too long a period at too high water
temperature will cause a tiring effect. When you first begin to use your
luxury bath unit, set the blower duration at five minutes maximum.
Regulate the water temperature to a moderately warm level. These
levels can be later increased for additional massaging effects.
Your physiological response to a hot massage bath depends on your
age, health and medical history. If you develop a headache or become
dizzy or nauseous, get out at once and cool off under the shower. Get
medical help if the symptoms persist.
Consult your doctor before you use the massage bath for physical
therapy of an injury or disorder. Do not take a massage bath without your
doctor’s consent if you are ill, pregnant or if you suffer from high blood
pressure, heart disease or other health problems. Never take a massage
bath while under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol.
Caution: Children or infirm people should not use the massage bath
without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance. Your bath water temperature
should not exceed 40ºC (104ºF). (Clause 7.12 of AS/NZS 3350)
After having cleaned the tub from all installation debris and dirt, fill with
water at normal bathing water level ie. maximum 2” below the overflow
when bather is sitting in the tub. Never fill the tub with water above the
overflow level.
When filling your tub make sure that water temperature does not exceed
70ºC (158ºF). The use of water that is too hot might shorten the lifetime
of the o’rings and gaskets of the air jets.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Blower fails to operate
1. Verify the supply cord: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. (Clause 7.12.5 of AS/NZS 3350)
2. Check electric power supply. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse if
necessary.
3. Check ground fault circuit interrupter. Reset if tripped.
4 If the system has been functioning for quite some time, it is possible
that the thermic protection has shut off the motor. Let it cool off for at
least 30 minutes before using it again.
Motor runs, but no air comes through the jets
1. Verify that the main air hose from manifold to blower is properly
connected. If necessary, reconnect and tighten clamps.
Air outlets of jet heads are obstruded
1. If the air outlets of a jet head are obstructed by soap or other residues,
fill tub with warm water, then switch system ON and OFF several times.
The air outlets should be cleared, if this is not sufficient, carefully tap
on the jet heads with the handle of a screw driver or a similar tool
(plastic) while the blower is running.
The air heater seems not to work
1. To verify the operation of the air heater, fill the bathtub to working level
and operate blower on high turbulence for approximately 5 minutes.
Carefully feel the flexible connection hose where it connects to the
blower. The hose and its immediate area should feel warm to the
touch. If not, contact your local distributor.
2. If your tub is installed against two outside walls, it is recommended to
ensure adequate insulation for these outside walls to minimize
heat loss.
3. Skin sensitive people might experience the so-called “cold air effect”
which is caused by the sensation of air bubbles running along the wet
skin and providing the bather with a shivering sensation. Just move
your body slightly away from the closest jet to stop the sensation of
cold air. (NOTE: Even if the outcoming air would be hot enough to burn
the skin, this shivering effect would still persist.)
Note: The air heater is not designed to heat your bath water, just to
preheat the incoming air to body temperature.
