PRECAUTIONS

• Do not operate the whirlpool system unless the bath is filled with water to at least 1" (25 mm) 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 system should 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 electrically grounded and installed by a licensed contractor, electrician, and plumber.

• 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. W e recommend
that a licensed contractor perform the installation of all Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath© products. Our warranty
does not cover improper installation related problems.

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 tot al

weight for your model. The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bath and not from the bath rim or tile flange. If the subfloor is level

and a continuous surface, 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 all 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. When

ENGLISH

attaching baths with flanges to stud wall, use shims to fill any gaps between the bath flange and studs.

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 self-

supporting.

The protective film liner inside the bath is used to prevent damage to the finish 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.

ENGLISH

RapidHeatTM Service Access

Comfort Plus tubs come with a factory installed RapidHeat
heater and you may consider an additional service access.

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.

SERVICE ACCESS

(WITHOUT SKIRT)

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 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.

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.

Electrical Connections

Two separate 120 VAC, 15 AMP circuits, which must be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), are required. Install duplex
outlets to the studwall underneath the bathtub, at least 4 inches above the floor. The duplex outlets are not provided. One circuit is for the
pump/motor and the other is for the RapidHeatTM heater.

Install a separate 120 VAC, 15 AMP dedicated circuit with GFCI protection. With a #8 solid copper wire, bond the heater to the house
electrical panel or approved local bond. A bonding lug is provided on the heater.

At initial start-up and before each use thereafter with power ON, push the GFCI test button. The reset button should pop out. Push this
button in to reset. If the interrupter fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing or a device malfunction, indicating the
possibility of electrical shock. Turn off power and do not use the bath until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected.

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.

CAUTION: Operating the motor/pump without enough water in the bath can cause leaking and permanent damage to the pump and/
or heater. Before power is applied to the installation, make sure the switch is in the OFF position to avoid pump damage.

Clean-Up After Installation

To avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the bath, never use abrasive cleaners. A mild liquid detergent and warm water will clean
soiled surfaces.

Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools will scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or grout can be removed if
lightly rubbed with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge.

Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface will require refinishing. Contact your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath© dealer for
special instructions.
