models
only)
(North America 60hZ)
Always follow applicable local, state and
federal codes and guidelines.
• On existing dedicated* electrical service, a 15A
breaker will work with no other appliances/acces-
sories on that line.
•
•
On new electrical service, usage of a 20A breaker
on a dedicated* line is recommended with no
other appliances/accessories on that line.
Cord-and-plug connections may not use a cord
longer than 15 feet (4.6 m) and must be plugged
into a dedicated 15A GFCI connection (NEC
680.42(A)
• Do not use extension cords!
• Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle.
•
•
Receptacle shall be located not less than 5 feet
(1.5 m) from and not exceeding 10 feet (3.0 m)
from the inside wall of the spa. (NEC 680.43(A))
Do not bury the power cord. If your cord be-
comes damaged, replace it before next usage.
• All 120V spas come with a GFCI cord installed.
• Test the GFCI plug prior to first use and periodi-
cally when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI
plug version, follow these instructions. (Spa should
already be plugged in and operational.)
1. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will
trip and the spa will stop operating.
2. Press the RESET button on the GFCI. The GFCI
will reset and the spa will turn back on.
The spa is now safe to use.
• If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the
RESET button. If the GFCI does not reset, unplug
the spa and call your local spa dealer for service.
DO NOT USE THE SPA!

*IF USING THE STANDARD 120V SERVICE, YOU MUST USE A DEDICATED LINE, WHICH MEANS THAT THERE
CANNOT BE ANY OTHER HOUSEHOLD ITEMS CONNECTED TO THE CIRCUIT OR OUTLET AT ALL! HAVING
ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES AT ALL ON THIS CIRCUIT WHILE THE SPA IS RUNNING WILL TRIP
THE BREAKER IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF EXTENSION CORDS BETWEEN THE SPA AND THE
WALL OUTLET, THIS WILL ALSO CAUSE THE BREAKER TO TRIP AND CAN BE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
*IF
A GFCI OUTLET IS PRESENT, EITHER THE GFCI CORD OR OUTLET WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.
CHECK WITH LOCAL CODE OFFICIALS ON OUTDOOR OUTLET REQUIREMENTS. IF GFCI OUTLET IS
REQUIRED, CORD GFCI MUST BE REMOVED AND A NON-GFCI CORD USED. ONLY ONE INLINE GFCI CAN BE
USED IN THE SPA CIRCUIT.
