Operating Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical products, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
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.
Risk of personal injury. To avoid injury, exercise care
when entering or exiting the whirlpool.
Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electric
appliances (such as a hair dryer, lamp, telephone, radio,
or television) within 5' (1.5m) of this whirlpool.
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.
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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Flush your whirlpool system twice a month or more
depending upon usage, as described on Page 6.
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.
Repeated use of personal care products containing oils can
damage plastic whirlpool components. Do not use heavy,
vegetable-based shampoos or bath oils.
Whirlpool hydro-massage action can cause even a small
amount of bubble bath, bath soap, shampoo, or bath oil to
foam excessively. For this reason, please don't use these
products during whirlpool operation.
