IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
WHEN USING THIS UNIT, THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.
This manual contains information and instructions for proper operation and maintenance of your whirlpool. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in personal injury, electrical shock or fire.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
1.
Do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised by an adult at all times. Supervision
is also required when whirlpool bath is used by an elderly or handicapped individual.
2.
Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer.
3.
Do not operate this unit without guard over the suction fitting.
4.
The water in a whirlpool should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F)
and 40°C (104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Use time should be limited to approximately
30 minutes, followed by a shower to cool down. Longer exposures may result in hyperthermia. The
symptoms of this condition are nausea, dizziness and fainting, which can be fatal. Lower water temperatures
are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10-15 minutes) and for young children.
5.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months
of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit whirlpool water temperatures to
38°C (100°F).
6.
The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during whirlpool use may lead to unconsciousness with
the possibility of drowning. Never use the whirlpool while under the influence of alcohol, anticoagulants,
stimulants, antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, hypnotics, narcotics or tranquilizers.
7.
Persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems,
or diabetes should consult a physician before using a whirlpool.
8.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a whirlpool since medication may i n d u c e
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
DANGER:
To reduce the risk of injury, enter and exit the bath slowly.
WARNING:
Never operate electrically connected devices in or near the bath. Never drop or insert any object into
any opening within the whirlpool.
This unit must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Such
a device should be installed by a licensed electrician and should be tested on a regular basis (at least monthly). To test
the GFCI push the
TEST
button. The GFCI should interrupt the power. Push the
RESET
button and the power should
be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner there is the possibility of an electric shock.
DO NOT USE.
Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified service technician. To avoid the possibility of
personal injury and discoloration of the acrylic surface, the inlet water temperature should not exceed 60°C (140°F).
The bath should be drained after each use. Each bather should start their bath with fresh water.
