IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath does not recommend spa water temperatures in excess of 104 F. High water tempera­tures in excess of 104 F. and prolonged periods of use can raise internal human body temperature excessively and impair the body’s ability to regulate its internal temperature. Limit your initial use of the spa to 10 - 15 minutes. High body temperatures affect people differ­ently; consult your physician about your safety and comfort before using the spa.
The elderly, the infirm, and children should not use the spa unattended. Infants should not be permitted in the spa at water temperatures over 100 F. Pregnant women and people with heart conditions should consult their physicians before using the spa at water tempera­tures over 100 F.
Extra care should be taken when using the spa and consuming alcoholic beverages. Alcohol, drugs, or certain medications such as tranquilizers affect a per­son’s ability to withstand high temperatures and may produce dangerous effects.
Keep body, hair, and clothing a minimum of 12 inches away from suction fitting and skimmers at all times when the spa is operating. Hair longer than shoulder length should be secured close to the head, or a bathing cap should be worn. Do not remove the suction grille! It is a safety device and must always be in place on the suction fitting to minimize the potential hazard of hair entanglement or body entrapment.

The wet surface of the spa is slippery. Use care when entering and exiting.
The optional cover available for your spa is rigid but is not designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety precaution, you must not sit, stand, or lie on it.
The spa must be installed with adequate access and water drainage system. (See Installation Instructions.)
When using the electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
This unit is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) located in the System Control Module. Check to be sure this is operational once a month. (The proce­dure for testing is described on page 6 of this manual.)
Do not use electrically connected devices such as television, radio, or stereo speakers, lights, cooking devices, or telephones within 5 feet of the spa while the spa is being used. Lighting fixtures must not be located directly above or within 5 feet of the spa. If located within 10 feet of the spa, they must be on a circuit protected by a GFCI.
Do not turn on power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level, which is to the water level indicator mark on the skimmer frame. Activating the spa when there is an insufficient amount of water can damage the circulation pump and may cause a fire.
Read manufacturer’s safety information provided with all optional equipment.
Save These Instructions for Future Use.

The Razza Plus™Portable Whirlpool Spa
Specifications and Installation Instructions
The Razza Plus™ is an exquisite tear-drop shaped whirlpool spa by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath designed with full­featured elegance to provide the comfort and luxurious spa experience you expect from a Jacuzzi whirlpool spa. The Razza Plus features multi-level contoured seating for 5 or more people. Entry and exit from the spa are made easier and safer by the built-in exterior and interior steps. And for a revitalizing hydromassage, five fully adjustable, color coordinated PowerPro™ whirlpool jets and three directionally adjustable jet are located strategically to massage lumbar, upper back, and neck regions, depending on where you are seated. The stacked jets ensure this simultaneous hydrotherapy.
A unique feature of the Razza Plus is a cascade waterfall which creates a dazzling, shimmering cas­cade of water while the spa's whirlpool or filter mode is
operating.
The Razza Plus also features a clearly labeled control panel. Push button controls give you convenient com­mand of the heater, filter, whirlpool, light, and air blower functions. Two control panels having knobs for adjust­ment of the silent air induction are located at the rim of the spa. A 7-day timer (located on the System Control Module) can be set for automatic control of temperature and filtration. The Razza Plus also features a low voltage underwater light and interchangeable colored lenses, adding even more luxury and excitement to your spa experience.
The Razza Plus offers the convenience of two pat­ented front-load skimmer/filters for maximum efficiency. The unique 50 sq. ft. filtration system, designed by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath, allows easy access from inside the spa to both filter cartridges without having to drain the spa or open the skirt door.
The spa shell is foam-insulated to save energy costs, and the spa is tastefully surrounded by a factory installed redwood skirt.
The complete equipment pack of the Razza Plus is mounted within the perimeter of the spa, so the spa is easy to install. The spa requires a 230 VAC 50 AMP 4­wire grounded, separate circuit and is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). An optional gas heater is available as an alternate heating source and can be installed remotely. The Razza Plus is available in a wide range of lustrous acrylic colors. (See the Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath color guide.)

Inspection and Shipping Claim
Check for shipping damage upon receipt of the spa. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damage to the spa sustained during shipping. If damage is evident before unpacking, see instructions regarding shipping claims on the outside of the carton and immediately file a claim with the carrier.
Once the spa has been removed from the carton and before it is permanently installed (see below on this page for unpacking instructions), check the spa completely for damage. Fill the shell with water and operate the system (see Operating Instructions) to check for leaks which may have resulted from shipping or handling. All Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath spas are factory tested for proper operation and water tight connections prior to shipping. If leaks or other problems are detected, immediately notify your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer or Authorized Service Agent, or call Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath, (510) 938-7411 or, (510) 938-7070 for Warranty Service.
Note: Damage or defects which could have been discovered and repaired prior to installation and which are claimed
after final installation of the spa, are excluded from our warranty.

Positioning Your Spa
Because your Razza Plus spa is portable, you can locate it just about anywhere you wish--on a deck,patio, or even indoors. Just be sure to position it above ground in an area with good drainage and on a level, continuous surface which can support the weight of the spa when filled with water and people; this weight is approximately 4017 lbs. You must also provide access to the spa's equipment for service and general maintenance.

Electrical Requirements
Your Razza Plus, requires a 230 VAC 50 AMP 4-wire grounded type electrical service having copper conduc­tors 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 may cause a voltage drop which might cause the unit to malfunction and bring about permanent damage to the spa's electrical system. We recommend that the wire be sized for a 3% maximum voltage drop. (See
NEC.) Each "leg"of the incoming power to neutral must be 105 VAC minimum at the spa when all the spa equipment is running.The circuit must also have a ground wire in order to take advantage of the designed-in safety features of the spa. A bond wire must also be used. Bond according to procedure described on the next page.
Caution: Without proper grounding and bonding, a
system malfunction may cause fatal shock.

INSTALLATION
Electrical Precautions
CAUTION: Do not apply electrical power to the
spa unless it is filled with water to the normal
water level, which is approx. 9" below the spa rim
(see location of water level indicator on face of
skimmer on page 13). If the spa's motor/pumps
are actuated when there is not sufficient water in
the unit, the circulation pump could be irrepara-
bly damaged. Not heeding this caution will nullify
the warranty. In addition to damaging the unit,
operating the unit with insufficient water could
cause a fire.
Do not locate lighting fixtures directly above the spa;
lighting and electrical receptacles must be located at
least 5 ft. from the spa. Lighting located between 5
and 10 ft. from the spa must be on a circuit protected
by a GFCI. (See National Electrical Code, 680-6.)
Do not use electrically connected devices, such as
television, radio, toys, telephones, stereo speakers, lights or cooking devices within 5 ft. of the spa when the spa is being used.
Bonding and Grounding
All fixed metal objects located within 5 ft. of the spa, such as fence posts, railings, door frames green­house structures, gutters, etc., must be attached to the bonding bar on the outside of the spa electrical cabinet using #8 solid copper wire. With #8 solid
copper wire, bond the spa to the house electrical panel or approved local bond.
An approved ground may be an 8 ft. long ground rod, a plate electrode, or a buried metal water pipe with at least 10 ft. of buried pipe. Check your local building code for requirements. Bonding lugs are available at your local electrical supply store. (Bond bar location is shown on page 7.)
Outdoor Installation
If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend that you provide a concrete pad for it to rest on. To do this, construct forms for a 8' x 8' x 4" (approx.) thick level pad. Install a #10 gauge wire mesh 6" x 6" steel reinforced grid. Attach a #8 solid copper wire to the grid with a ground clamp. This wire should be long enough to reach the bond bar on the spa System Control Module (min. 36"), but should not be located under the base of the spa. Then pour the concrete pad.
Drainage
Whether you install your spa indoors or outdoors, you can drain it by attaching a garden hose to the drain valve located on the suction tee of the spa. Simply run the hose to the house sewer line or drain field and open the drain valve. See inside back cover for a quicker, perma­nent drain method.
Make sure the area surrounding the spa has good drainage to keep water from collecting at the base of the
BOND BAR
#8 BOND WIRE (TO HOUSE ELECTRICAL PANEL OR LOCAL BOND)
spa, especially near the equipment area. If drainage is poor, install a drain line and/or gravel drain field (see illustration below).
Indoor Installations
Water which splashes on the floor during use of the spa may cause a walking hazard and/or structural dam­age unless good drainage is provided and proper waterproof building materials are used in the area sur­rounding and beneath the spa. Take into consideration, also, the high room humidity which will exist due to high spa water temperatures. 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 indoor installation.
