5.1
Requirements for personnel carrying out the installation
The manufacturer recommends using our trained specialists to set up, assemble, and install
the hot tub.
We would be happy to provide you with a quotation.
Should you decide to install and
assemble the product yourself, you must comply with the requirements described in Chapter
5
otherwise the
manufacturer's warranty will be voided.
5.2
Requirements for the bearing surface
The hot tub may only be installed outdoors and on a level and firm bearing surface. If the hot
tub is to be placed on a combustible surface, make sure to install a protective plate made from
fireproof material beneath, and in front of, the stove. The smoke must be able to escape easily
and the flue pipe should not be in the direct vicinity of a neighbouring house. A well-
compacted lawn is suitable, but gravel or crushed stone should preferably be used as a
foundation. Unlike usual terraces/patios, the bearing surface must not be sloped otherwise the
water in the hot tub will be unbalanced and air will not be able to circulate beneath the hot
tub. If the bearing surface is not level, this must be levelled.
NOTE
Make sure that all the support surfaces (see
Figure 12
) provided for the hot tub on the
underside of the hot tub are in full contact with the ground to make sure an even application of
force to the ground.
