LAMP, TELEPHONE, RADIO OR TELEVISION) WITHIN 60" (1.5 M) OF THIS HYDROMASSAGE BATHTUB.
WARNING: RISK OF ACCIDENTAL INJURY OR DROWNING; DO NOT USE DRUGS OR ALCOHOL BEFORE OR
DURING THE USE OF HYDROMASSAGE BATHTUB EQUIPPED WITH A HEATER TO AVOID UNCONSCIOUSNESS
AND POSSIBLE DROWNING.
WARNING: RISK OF FETAL INJURY; PREGNANT OR POSSIBLY PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD CONSULT A
PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING A HYDROMASSAGE BATHTUB EQUIPPED WITH A HEATER.
WARNING: RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA AND POSSIBLE DROWNING; DO NOT USE A HYDROMASSAGE BATHTUB
EQUIPPED WITH A HEATER IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING STRENUOUS EXERCISE.
CAUTION; TEST THE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTING THIS APPLIANCE PERIODICALLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA AND POSSIBLE DROWNING; WATER TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF 100°F
(38° C) MAY BE INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. CHECK AND ADJUST WATER TEMPERATURE BEFORE USE.
WARNING: RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA; PEOPLE USING MEDICATIONS AND/OR HAVING AN ADVERSE MEDICAL
HISTORY SHOULD CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING A HYRDOMASSAGE BATHTUB EQUIPPED WITH A
HEATER.
AN EQUIPMENT GROUNDING TERMINAL IS PROVIDED IN THE FIELD WIRING COMPARTMENT. TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, THIS TERMINAL MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING MEANS PROVIDED
IN THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY PANEL WITH A CONNECTOR EQUIVALENT IN SIZE TO THE CIRCUIT CONNECTORS
SUPPLYING THIS EQUIPMENT.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate the whirlpool system unless the bath is filled with water to at least 2" above the highest jet.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Do not use oil-based bath additives in your whirlpool bath.
When cleaning your bath, do not use abrasive substances which will damage the bath's surface.
To prevent discoloration of the acrylic finish, do not fill the bath with water in excess of 140°F (60°C).
The whirlpool systemshould be purged at least twice a month. For your convenience, we have developed a plumbing system
cleaner (Systems Clean™) specifically for whirlpool baths. For availability call 1-800-288-4002.
Use this unit only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
This unit 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 interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a
ground current flowing, indicating a possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem
corrected by a qualified electrician before using.
A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the motor to permit connection of an No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm) solid copper
bonding conductor between this unit and all other electric equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as needed to comply with
local requirements.
This unit should be installed by a licensed electrician and grounded.
For built-in and drop-in units, install to permit access for servicing.
Note: This is a professional grade product. A knowledge of construction techniques, plumbing and electrical installation according to codes are required for proper installation and user satisfaction. We recommend that a licensed contractor perform the installation of all Asteria products. Our warranty does not
cover improper installation related problems.

CONNECTOR TO THE GROUNDING TERMINAL OF YOUR ELECTRIC SERVICE OR SUPPLY PANEL WITH
A CONDUCTOR EQUIVALENT IN SIZE TO THE CIRCUIT CONDUCTORS SUPPLYING THIS EQUIPMENT.
OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING — PROLONGED IMMERSION IN HOT WATER MAY INDUCE HYPERTHERMIA. HYPER-
THERMIA OCCURS WHEN THE INTERNAL TEMPERA TURE OF THE BODY REACHES A LEVEL SEV ERAL DEGREES ABOVE THE NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE OF 98.6°F. 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 SPA OR HOT TUB,
C) UNAWARENESS OF IMPENDING HAZARD,
D) FETAL DAMAGE IN PREGNANT WOMEN,
E) PHYSICAL INABILITY TO EXIT THE SPA OR HOT TUB, AND
F) UNCONSCIOUSNESS RESULTING IN DANGER OF DROWNING.
WARNING — THE USE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR MEDICATION CAN GREATLY INCREASE THE
RISK OF FATAL HYPERTHERMIA.
WARNING — DO NOT TAMPER WITH USER-OPERATED CONTROLS OR SUCH DEVICES.

Framing and Support
The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor.
The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of bath, water, and bather. Refer to the table under total
weight for your model. The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bath and not from the bath rim or nailing flange. If the subfloor is
level, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the bath. If the subfloor is not level, you MUST level the entire surface prior
to installing the bath. The use of materials that shim or provide a level installation are allowed provided the method used will insure a level bath
that is supported from the bottom. Materials that may be used are a floor leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal expansion structural foam
having a density of a minimum of 5 lbs./cubic ft.; however the bath must remain level in order for it to drain properly and the foam feet must make
full contact with the leveling material. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
The rim of the bath is not designed to support weight. If finish material is to overlap or contact the bath, the added weight must be fully selfsupporting.
The protective film liner inside the bath is used to prevent damage to the finish from shoes, tools, etc. during installation. Before
installation, remove liner to inspect for any defects, reapply and do not remove until final cleanup.
Important: If a skirt is to be used, it must be installed at the time of unit installation – refer to skirt installation instructions. Install
optional trim parts when all installation has been completed.

Service Access
For partially or fully sunken installations, allow for access to service connections. It is the installer's responsibility to provide sufficient service access. The recommended minimum dimensions allowable for service to the bath are shown in the "Service Access"
illustration.
Provide adequate area around unit for air circulation for cooling
the motor and to supply sufficient air to the jets. Do not insulate this
area or around motor.Service Access with Skirt

Note: Right hand unit motor/pump access is on the opposite side (mirror image).
In some cases, access may not have been provided because of
the design of the bath environment and having full understanding that
in this case, it may be necessary to remove the unit for service.
If this is the case, diagnosing a problem may not be possible without complete access to the plumbing system. This would necessitate
the removal of the unit. Although this practice is not commonly implemented, it is an acceptable method.
Service Access with Skirt
An optional skirt fits along the side of the bath for above-floor installations and is also an access panel for servicing. Allow a space of
at least 8 inches away from the bath for skirt removal.
The skirt is designed to accommodate the added height of the tile,
linoleum, or other floor coverings up to 1-1/4 inches above the floor,
and will be flush with the floor when installed.
More detailed instructions on skirt installation are provided with
the optional skirt assembly.
In some cases access may have been provided in Area A but
service is required in Area B which requires the unit to be pulled for
service and reinstalled.
If service access has not been provided, it is the home owners
responsibility to remove the bath and provide the required access, should a repair become necessary.
