Important Information

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:

DANGER: Risk of personal injury. To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this

product unless they are closely supervised at all times

WARNING: Risk of personal injury. To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the
unit.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electric appliances (such as a hair dryer, lamp,
telephone, radio, or television) within the enclosure.

WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia. People using medications and/or having an adverse medical
history should consult a physician before using this product.

Use this product 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. Keep small objects such as bath toys and bathing
accessories out of the product while the unit is running.

Do not operate this product without the guard (cover) over the suction fitting.
This installation must have two Class A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters (GFCIs) or Residual Current

Devices (RCDs). The GFCIs or RCDs protect against line-to-ground shock hazard. Use two 220/240 V, 20 A,
50/60 Hz dedicated services; one for the pumps and controls, and another for the heater. Such a GFCI or
RCD should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis.

To test the GFCI or RCD, press the test button. The GFCI or RCD should interrupt power. Press the reset
button. Power should be restored.

If the GFCI or RCD fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI or RCD is defective. If the GFCI or RCD
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.

Disconnect the product and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.

WARNING: 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.

IMPORTANT! Flush the system twice a month or more depending upon usage, as described in the ″Care
and Cleaning″ section.

Do not allow the water temperature in the product to exceed 104°F (40°C).
Do not use shampoo, soap or bubble bath in the product water. You can freely use shampoo and soap for

showering before you fill the footbath basin.
