WOOD CABINET:

       Your modular cabinet has been treated with a stain at the factory.  It is suggested that the 
cabinet be treated annually with an additional coat of stain for maximum weather 
protection.  Contact your Baja Spa Retailer for advice on which stain and oil work
best in your area.  

DRAINING THE SPA (SEE PAGE 13):

It is recommended to completely drain the spa at least four times a year.
More frequent draining may be required depending on usage.  The spa should
also be drained if it is not going to be used for a long period.

An empty spa MUST be covered.  Direct sunlight on the acrylic surface can cause severe damage 
or blemishing of the acrylic spa surface, and can result in the voiding of the spa surface warranty.

TO DRAIN THE SPA, COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

1.  Turn off the main circuit breaker or disconnect panel.
2.  Attach a garden hose to the drain hose bib, and then open hose bib allowing the
     water to drain from the spa by gravity.  For complete draining, place outlet end of
     hose below bottom of spa.

CLEANING

:  

When the acrylic surface becomes soiled, it can be cleaned with a soft cloth or 
sponge.  

DO NOT US ANY ABRASIVE CLEANERS

,  as they can scratch or dull

the brilliant acrylic surface.

Your insulated cover can be cleaned with a non-abrasive household cleaner.  A non
silicone based vinyl restorer will help protect the surface from sun damage.

REGULAR SPA MAINTENANCE

15

If the spa is to be left unused for an extended period of time in areas where freezing 
temperatures DO NOT OCCUR, it may be desirable to turn the heater OFF.  To keep
the spa water clean and sparkling, set the timer to filter the water several times each 
day.  When preparing the spa for use, check the water chemistry to assure correct
chlorine and pH levels.

If it is desired to keep water in the spa during the time of year when freezing may occur,
the heater will operate as required to prevent the water from freezing.  

However, CAUTION MUST BE USED WITH THIS APPROACH.  In the event of 
electrical power interruptions, regardless of cause, the heater and pump will stop 
operating and freeze protection will be lost.  This could result in freeze damage to the
spa, spa plumbing/and or Equipment Module components.  Such damage is not 
covered by the Equipment Module Warranty.

If the spa is to be drained for an extended period of time, consult your local retailer for
winterizing your spa completely due to potentially extreme weather conditions.
