Do not support the bath using the hoses during transport.
N.B.: This product is designed for installation on finished walls
and floors.
Warranty claims must be produced with the purchase invoice
and the product assembling instructions.
The drawings and illustrations in this manual are provided for
information purposes only.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and
improvements without prior notice.
INSTALLATION OF BATH WITH FRAME:
Follow the sequence of drawings given in this manual very
carefully when installing a bath with frame.
INSTALLATION OF ENCLOSED BATH:
Before building the enclosing walls, it is best to position the
bath and make the required connections. The wall can extend
inwards under the lip of the bath by not more than 1.5 cm.
The drain must be connected in such a way that the bath
can be pulled out of the enclosure for maintenance, when
necessary. To facilitate this operation do NOT fix enclosed
type baths to the floor. In this case, fix the bath by applying
silicone on all four sides (see siliconing illustration on page 7).
Inspection panel required.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
With the CE mark and the declaration of conformity, the
manufacturer
guarantees that the product complies
with current health and safety standards. All items and
components are factory tested according to reference
standards and in-house quality procedures. To ensure that
the bath continues to be safe even after installation and
throughout its useful life, check the following:
1.The electrical system to which the bath is to be connected
must conform with current regulations and standards.
Remember that the system must be properly earthed.
2. All electrical fittings (power outlets, switches, etc) must be
at least 60 cm from the bath or at a height of 225 cm.
3. The power supply line must be suitable for the power
requirement of the bath (see technical specifications, page 2).
4. The point where the bath is connected to the electrical
system must be suitably protected against splashing water
(degree of protection IP55 or greater).
5. The whirlpool system must be fitted with a 30 mA switched
circuit breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm.
6. The bath frame has an earth terminal that must be properly
connected to the earthing system of the supply circuit
(refer to illustrations on page 6).

OPERATING TEST:
An operating test must be performed following installation.
Check that the bath is clean.
Fill the bath with water at an infeed temperature of 40 °C (± 5
°C) up to a level above the highest nozzle to allow the system
to function.Switch on the system and run it for 10 minutes.
Switch OFF the whirlpool function but do not empty the bath
and after 10 minutes check all the hoses, couplings, etc. for
any leaks.
The test should be repeated following any adjustments or
substitutions. Backflow of water towards the mains water
supply must be avoided to ensure conformity with EN 1717
when filling the bath. Therefore if the taps are fitted so that
the water fills the bath from above the top of the bath then
the taps must be positioned (at least in terms of height) in
accordance with the diagrams shown from page 6.
If the system involving a combined water inlet and overflow
outlet is used to fill the bath, a water outlet spout consisting
of a non-return valve (not supplied) must be fitted between
the combined tap water inlet point and the delivery system
located on the discharge column.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING:
During use, small organic particles are deposited in the
whirlpool pipes and if not treated may lead to proliferation
of bacteria in the system. For perfect hygiene, you should
treat the system with specific products available from our
Service Centres (see updated list on our site www.novellini.
com under the heading "Service") or dealers specialising in
products for whirlpool baths. For temporary treatment you
can use a liquid disinfectant (eg. Dettol). How to clean the
bath. You should also perform a specific treatment if the bath
is left unused for long periods. If the bath is used by more
than one person consecutively, you are recommended to
disinfect after each cycle.
You should never use or take a bath in the water used
for disinfecting.
The first time you disinfect, fill the disinfectant tank
with a specific product or Dettol. Tank capacity 1 litre.
ADJUSTING JET NOZZLES:
Turn the jet nozzles (C) as required. The nozzles can be
turned in any direction. Make sure that the nozzles are not
clogged and are not directed upwards (otherwise water
will be splashed out of the tub when the system is switched
on). Fill the tub until the water is well over the level of the
jet nozzles (see illustration). After getting into the bath, the
water level must be as shown in the illustration, otherwise
the jets system may not start. The system features a level
sensor which prevents the jets from switching on if there isn't
enough water in the bath. When the jets system is on, do not
use foaming agents such as bubble baths, soap, etc.
HOW TO USE YOUR WHIRLPOOL BATH CORRECTLY:
The benefits of a whirlpool massage:
The swirling water of a whirlpool bath is naturally soothing
and offers many therapeutic benefits. In spas, hydrotherapy
,
is used to stimulate blood circulation, relax muscles and
restore tone to the skin. Basically, it consists in injecting air
into controlled jets of water of varying intensity directed at
the body. The jet of warm water and air bubbles against the
body dilates blood vessels and increases the flow of blood
to the heart. In addition, the continuous jet of water has
a massaging effect on the muscles and dilates skin pores,
promoting the removal of toxins and helping to hydrate the
2
surrounding tissue. Hydromassage is widely used by sports
people to relieve tired muscles after strenuous physical
3
activity, producing a pleasant sense of relaxation and well-
being. The jet nozzles can be adjusted to direct the jets at
the parts of the body where you want to concentrate the
massaging action. The temperature of the bath water must
never exceed 45°C. The maximum benefits are obtained with
a temperature of 36°-37°C.
PRECAUTIONS:
Although hydromassage has been proved to have beneficial
effects, always bear in mind the following simple rules:
1) The temperature of the bath water must never exceed 45°C.
Always fill the bath with hot and cold water mixed. Do not fill
with boiling hot water first and then cold water. Remember
that the most relaxing effects are obtained by keeping the
bath water temperature at 36°C/37°C.
2) A whirlpool bath should not last more than 20/30min at
most. The higher the temperature, the less the bath should
last (ideally 36/37°C for approximately 15/20min). Remember
that the dilation of the blood vessels
due to the water temperature usually causes a slight
reduction in blood pressure.
3) Persons with serious heart problems or suffering from
hypertension or other serious illnesses should consult with
their doctor before using the whirlpool bath.
4) Children must only use the whirlpool bath under the
supervision of an adult.
5) Elderly and disabled people as well as those with
movement difficulties should use the whirlpool bath with
care. It is recommended that you seek medical advice.
6) Since the whirlpool provides relaxation, it is best used after
sports activities or at the end of a day's work.
Do not use the whirlpool immediately after a meal.
7) Do not use foaming agents in the bath while the jets
system is in operation as the foaming effect is increased
by pump pressure. Use soap or shampoo only after you have
turned off the jets system.
8) If you really want to use bath salts or other products
providing relaxing, tonic, slimming or other desirable effects,
make sure that they do not produce foam and that they are
well dissolved in the water before turning on the pump.
9) Keep this manual in a safe place so that it can be consulted
by those using the whirlpool bath.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION:
Deposits of organic material that collect in the pipes during a
whirpool bath promote bacterial growth and, if left untreated,
cause unsanitary conditions and unpleasant odours. For
perfect hygiene, the jets system should be disinfected
immediately after bathing, before draining. To disinfect, use
50 g of ordinary disinfectant (for example, liquid bleach) for
every 100 litres of water (approximately half a glass in a bath
filled to optimum level). Run the system for few minutes to
circulate the disinfectant in the pipes. Stop the system, allow
to soak for 15/20 minutes, then drain the bath. If the bath
develops unpleasant odours after a long period of inactivity,
it's a good idea to disinfect the system before using it again.
For hygiene, if the bath is used consecutively by two or more
people, the system should be disinfected after each use.
During disinfection, turn off the air control to reduce foaming.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING:
The bath is made of acrylic and must be cleaned using a
liquid detergent and a soft cloth or sponge. Use a good
quality household liquid detergent. To prevent scale deposits,
wipe dry using a chammy leather or a soft lint-free cloth that
removes stubborn deposits without leaving traces. Limescale
deposits may be removed using specific detergent products.
To restore shine to the acrylic surface polish with an ordinary
wax polish such as car wax.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, ALCOHOL OR ALCOHOL
BASED PRODUCTS, ACETONE OR OTHER SOLVENTS.
recommended may damage the bath and/or the whirlpool
equipment.
SURFACE SCRATCHES:
Small surface scratches can be removed using wet emery
paper (grade 1000) and then smoothing the surface with
abrasive paste. Once the scratch has been removed, restore
surface shine using wax polish. For the best results, contact
your nearest authorised service centre.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
In the event of a problem, perform the following checks
before calling the service centre.
The jets systems does not start:
•When the start button is pressed, the ON-OFF pilot light
must switch on. If it does not, check that the power supply is
on and that the circuit breaker is not tripped.
•If the circuit breaker is tripped, reset it and try switching
on the jets system again. If it trips again, contact the service
centre.
•If the ON-OFF pilot light is on but the water level pilot light
If the pump does not start even when the water level is well
above the jet nozzles, contact the service centre.
•If both pilot lights are on but the pump does not start,
contact the service centre.
