IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath does not recommend prolonged periods of use of the steamer. Prolonged use of the steam system can raise the internal human body temperature excessively and impair the body's ability to regulate its internal temperature (causing hyperthermia). Consult your physician about your safety and comfort before using the steam system. Limit your use of steam to 10–15 minutes until you are certain of your body's reaction. A cooling shower spray can be used simultaneously with the steam to assist in regulating your body temperature.

Alcohol and certain drugs and medications, such as tranquilizers, affect a person's ability to withstand high temperatures and may produce dangerous side effects. Do not use alcohol or drugs when using the J-Dream™ Shower System.

The elderly, the infirm, and children should not use the J-Dream unattended. Pregnant women and people with heart conditions should consult their physicians before using the steamer.

The wet surface of the J-Dream can be slippery. Use care when entering and exiting. When using the J-Dream, always follow basic safety precautions. This unit is to be connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), also known as an Earth Leakage Circuit

Breaker (ELCB). Check the GFCI at least once a month to be sure it is operational. With the unit operating, push in the test button. The unit should stop operating and the trip indicator should appear. Restore the power. Push the button to OFF, then turn ON. The unit should now operate normally. If the interrupter fails to operate in this manner, there is a fault in the electrical system or the GFCI and you may not be protected from an electrical shock. Turn off the power and have a qualified electrician check the circuit before using the unit again.

Do not use electrically connected devices such as television, radio, or stereo speakers, lights, hair dryers, or telephones within 1.5 m (5 feet) of the J-Dream while in use.

Read the manufacturer's safety information included with optional equipment.

Save These Instructions for Future Use.

WHIRLPOOL

BATH

Part I: Assembly and Installation

When Jacuzzi introduced the first whirlpool bath in 1968, it changed the bathtub forever. Now Jacuzzi is revolutionizing yet another form of bathing—the shower. The J-Dream™, a fully-adjustable steam and shower system, massages, soothes, steams, and invigorates you for your health and comfort.

A cascading waterfall, 16 hydrotherapeutic jets, a powerful steam nozzle, and adjustable shower head create a personal bathing experience like no other. An easy-to-use control panel lets you adjust the intensity and duration of each function.

The hydrotherapy jets of the J-Dream II provide high power hydromassage to invigorate and relax you. Preset the jets to pulsate in various configurations, adjusting both the spray pattern for each jet and the rate at which you want the jets to pulsate—fast and invigorating or slow and luxurious—the choice is yours.

Step into the J-Dream and see how Jacuzzi has created the ultimate shower experience. Because the J-Dream is made by Jacuzzi, everything about it—from its innovative design and technology to quality manufacturing—is simply the best.

Rest on the specially molded seat and relax as a soothing, cascading waterfall caresses your neck and shoulders. The cascade shower is specially designed to release tension from the entire upper spine area to create a feeling of well-being throughout your body.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

General Assembly Information

The J-Dream shower unit is installed either into a niche or a corner with the drain at the side of the unit as you face the shower door. This manual explains the step by step procedures for assembly, installation, and operation of the J-Dream shower system. After installing the drain and providing the water supply stub-out and electrical supply, assemble the free standing shower unit away from the walls of the room. Next connect and static test the water supply lines. The electrical connections should then be completed before the unit is moved into final position. Recheck the drain fit and complete the assembly before final testing.

Room Construction: Important

The room where the shower unit is to be located must be constructed of materials that can withstand excessive amounts of moisture and condensation. Large amounts of steam can be released into the room when the shower door is opened. Providing natural or forced ventilation of the room will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the building. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damages resulting from excess moisture or water spillage. Consult an architect or engineer for aid in designing your interior structure.

Do not install heat lamps directly above the shower unit as the heat from the lamps may deform the clear top.

Water Supply

The water supply must be capable of delivering 3 gallons per minute minimum to the unit within a pressure range of 20–65 psi (1.4–4.6 BAR). Pressures in excess of 65 psi (4.6 BAR) must be reduced with a regulator in the supply line. This is the flow of water and pressure required to ensure adequate performance of the J-Dream. This not the water consumption rate.

NOTE: Do not provide less than the minimum flow specified. Negative pressure under certain conditions might cause a health hazard by fouling the house potable water supply.

Electrical Power

See Specifications for power required. Power supplied to the unit must be through a *GFCI-protected, dedicated circuit with proper bonding and grounding. The GFCI must be located in an area that will allow access for frequent testing.

* GFCI ( Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is also known as an ELCB ( Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker). This device must be a type approved by electrical codes and standards to protect users from potential electrical hazards.

Page 6

J-Dream Owner’s Manual

Electrical requirements

Your J-Dream, as it comes from the factory, requires a GFCI protected 220/240 VAC 15 AMP 3-wire circuit (2 conductor with ground) for single (1) phase electrical service, and must be in a separate circuit having no other appliance connected in that circuit. If you do not have this kind of circuit, a qualified electrician should be called in to install the necessary wiring. Inadequately sized wiring or locating the unit too far from the main service panel may cause a voltage drop. A drop in voltage can cause the unit to malfunction and bring about permanent damage to the shower's electrical system. The circuit ground wire must be provided to take advantage of the designed-in safety features of the J-Dream. Bond according to procedure described on page 23. Caution: Without proper grounding and bonding, a system malfunction may cause fatal

shock.

Electrical precautions

Lighting and electrical receptacles must be located at least 5 ft (1.5m) from the J-Dream. Lighting located between 5 ft and 10 ft (1.5m and 3m) from the J-Dream must be on a circuit protected by a GFCI. Do not use electrically connected devices, such as television, radio, telephones, stereo speakers, lights or cooking devices within 5 feet of the J-Dream while it is in use.

V entilation

Water which drips on the floor during exit from the J-Dream may cause a walking hazard and/or structural damage unless proper waterproof building materials are used in the area surrounding the unit. Take into consideration, also, the high room humidity which will exist due to use of the steamer. Providing natural or forced ventilation of the room will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the building. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damages resulting from excess moisture or water spillage. Consult an architect or engineer for aid in designing your installation.

Maintenance Cleaning the J-Dream

To clean your J-Dream, simply use a mild non-abrasive liquid detergent or commercially prepared bathtub cleaners. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protect and restore the gloss to a dulled surface by applying a plastic polish specifically designed

for use on acrylic finishes (methylmethacrylate). If an acrylic polish is not available, an automotive paste wax will do.

Repairs to the surface

Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish (acrylic) can be removed with 600-grit wet/dry sandpaper. Restore the glossy finish with an acrylic polish or a comparable automotive paste wax. Major scratches or gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface will require refinishing. Ask your dealer for special instructions.

Starting the Hydromassage

The J-Dream allows you to enjoy the benefits of a real hydromassage. The hydromassage is created by the combined action of 16 water jets (four sets of four) under the pressure of an electrically powered pump. The action of each group of four jets is alternated according to a programmed sequence which can be changed as desired.

E. Press the hydromassage button 6 on the display (Figure 1). All the lights relating to this function will light up. This function cannot be started while the small light is blinking.

F. Carry out the preliminary operations A and B for starting any function. If desired, use the 9, 10, 11 and 12 buttons (Figure 1) to reduce the number of jet groups activated for the

hydromassage (never less than four groups). Each group of water jets is individually controlled and its operation is illuminated on the control panel.

The system has a 45 second delay to allow for the setting of the speed of alternation and the desired jet activation. At the end of this delay, the jet reservoir begins to fill. The reservoir takes approximately 20 seconds to fill. The system is fully active after the reservoir is full and the green light above button 6 (Figure 1) remains illuminated

G.Now press the button 6 to start the hyromassage. H.To stop the hydromassage, press the same button 6 again.

The cycle speed of the jet groups can be changed during operation by pressing the (+) and (-) buttons. Also the groups can be activated or cancelled by pressing the buttons. These variations can be made without stopping

the hydromassage. When the hydromassage is switched off, all programming changes are automatically erased. Therefore, when

this function is again started, the unit will automatically be programmed to operate at an average speed of alternation between the groups of water jets, and all four groups of jets will be active. The intensity of the hydromassage can be adjusted on each of the 16 jet nozzles by turning the jet as shown in Figure 3. Turning the jet counterclockwise will produce a unified and compact water jet. Turning the jet clockwise will make a fanshaped water jet.

Starting the Steam Bath

The beneficial effects of a steam bath have been recognized since ancient times. The steam bath has long since become part of every culture.

I. Press the steam bath button 1 on the display (Figure 1). At this point, the time display will indicate 00 and the green light above button 1 will start blinking. The green light will flash (approximately 45 seconds) giving a delay for setting the water (step J) and the steam timer from 0 to 60 minutes using the (+) and (-) buttons. The function cannot be started

while the light is blinking. J. Carry out the two preliminary operations A and B for starting any function. Note: A higher water temperature

position of the mixer handle (Y) when the reservoir and steamer are filling will reduce waiting time for steam. K. After the reservoir is full, the green and yellow lights above button 1 will come on continuously, indicating the steam

unit is ready. Now press button 1 (Figure 1) again and the green light will go out and the yellow light will start flashing. This indicates that the steam bath is now operational. The yellow light remains flashing until an audible buzzer sounds and steam begins to come out of the steam nozzle (approximately 3 1/2 minutes). The yellow light goes out after the one second buzzer sounds, and the green light comes on and remains on throughout the steam time setting. The steam bath can be turned off at any time by depressing button 1 during the operation; this will cancel the operational sequence.

Page 32

During the steam bath treatment, the time can always be varied by pressing the (+) and (-) buttons without interrupting the functions. Also for your convenience, a buzzer will sound when the steam timer reaches zero (00). There is a 10 second delay before the steam bath function is cancelled. During this delay the timer can be reset to allow more steam bath operation. The steam bath function is controlled with a safety device (indicated by a faucet with a water drop symbol on the display). This safety device operates in the event that water has been turned off before the steam timer reaches 00. If the steam water level drops below the minimum level, the red light (13, Figure 1) above the faucet symbol will come on and an audible signal will sound warning that the water flow from mixer Y has stopped. This occurs approximately 5 minutes after the flow has ceased. If water is not restored to the steamer unit at this time, the steam bath function will be cancelled.

The electronic device has a self test program which checks all functions when the power is turned on. All the lights on the display turn on in a programmed test sequence lasting 8 seconds and testing 14 events. The end of the test sequence leaves the steam digital time display (Figure 1) reading (--).

In case of power failure while the J-Dream is operating, any function will be completely cancelled. When power is restored, the self test will activate and any function can be reset at this time.

The electronic unit is equipped with an internal safety program which automatically cancels any function if a program has not been completed within 60 minutes.

Before changing from the hydromassage to the steam bath function, or vice versa, the water in the holding tank will be automatically exchanged, which requires approximately a 60 second waiting period. This feature is incorporated to decrease deposit buildups in the steam generator.

Use the hand shower while steam is operating

Follow the steps below to operate the hand shower during steam operation without turning off the steam function. This procedure avoids the drain/fill/heat-up cycle that occurs when the steam control is turned off and back on again at the control panel.

1. During normal steam operation, the transfer valve is in the middle position as shown in Figure 2 and the mixer valve

is open, or “ON”.

2. Without changing the electronic control panel settings, turn the transfer valve handle to the “handshower”

position. Water will flow from the handshower, and the mixer handle may be used to adjust the water temperature. The steam mode will continue to function.

3. When you have finished cooling down or rinsing off with the handshower, turn the transfer valve handle back to the

middle position leaving the mixer handle “ON”. The water flow will stop at the hand shower, and the mixer valve will then continue to provide water to the steam generator as required.

Part III Maintenance

Routine Maintenance

The shower head is equipped with a filter which must be occasionally cleaned of limestone and other deposits. The filter is placed between the flexible hose and the shower head. If limestone deposits are on the jet nozzles, the shape of the water jets may be altered. Remove and clean the nozzles occasionally. Forcefully turn the nozzle counterclockwise until a click is felt. Then remove the nozzle and clean it by soaking it in a moderate vinegar and water solution. Do not use metal tools (such as scissors or screwdrivers, etc.) to clean the nozzle. For routine cleaning of plastic surfaces, such as the side panel, the shower wall panel, etc., use a mild liquid detergent only. Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or other solvents. Any normal polish can be used to keep acrylic surfaces shiny. The glass panels can be cleaned with any glass-cleaning product available on the market. Do not use abrasives, solvents, or acetone

on any part of the J-Dream.

Special Maintenance Operations, Hard Water Areas

If the steam bath is used frequently in a hard water area, particles of limestone may be deposited in the steam generator and reduce its performance. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath recommends the installation of a water softener unit, in order to eliminate or reduce limestone deposits. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath also recommends the installation of a particle filter because the solenoid valve can be obstructed by large particles in the water, thus causing malfunctions.

To be sure that water conditions in your area will not require the installation of a water softener unit or a particle filter, consult a professional plumber. In a hard water area, filter screens in the solenoid valves may become obstructed over time or with heavy use. If the procedures under " Routine Maintenance Operations" do not correct a flow problem, call a qualified service technician to inspect and clean the solenoid valve filter screens, located in the equipment area of the shower unit. The valves are accessed through the vertical fixed panel adjacent to the sliding shower doors. The valves can also be accessed by removing 3 screws located between the glass and the edge of the seatwall and pivoting the seatwall inward.

IMPORTANT:When installing the shower unit, be sure to leave adequate clearance to allow the removal of the vertical panel for service access.
