INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR INJURY TO
PERSON
WARNING -
When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. The heater must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault-circuit-
interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine
basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interupt power. Push the reset button.
The Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the
GFCI interrupts power to the heater without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing,
indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this hydromassage bathtub. Disconnect this
hydromassage bathtub and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before
using.
