• Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF SKIN BURNS
• To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should
measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
• Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s
comfortable.
SAFETY SIGN
Each
HOT SPRING
spa is shipped with a SAFETY SIGN in the owner’s
package. The sign, which is required as a condition of Product Listing,
should be permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the
spa. To obtain additional SAFETY SIGNS, contact your
HOT SPRING
dealer and request Part #70798.
IMPORTANT
SPA INSTRUCTIONS
The following contains important spa information, and we strongly
encourage you to read and apply them.
DO:
• Use and lock the vinyl cover when the spa is not in use, whether it is
empty or full.
• Follow the Spa Care and Maintenance recommendations stated in this
manual.
• Use only approved accessories and recommended spa chemicals and
cleaners.
• Provide adequate drainage to deal with overflow water.
Safety Information
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DON'T
• Leave the
HOT SPRING
spa exposed to the sun without water or the
cover in place. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause solar distress of
the shell material.
• Roll or slide the spa on its side. This will damage the siding.
• Lift or drag the vinyl cover by using the cover lock straps; always lift or
carry the cover by using the handles.
• Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. Opening of the control box by the spa owner
will void the warranty. If you have an operational problem, carefully go
through the steps outlined in the Troubleshooting section. If you are
not able to resolve the problem, contact your authorized
HOT SPRING
dealer. Many problems can easily be diagnosed over the telephone by
an Authorized Service Technician.
SPA SHELL
Your
HOT SPRING
spa has an acrylic shell. Stains and dirt generally will not adhere
to your spa’s surface. A soft rag should easily remove most dirt. Most household
chemicals are harmful to your spa’s shell (see below for detailed information on cleaning
agents). Always rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water.
IMPORTANT:
1. The following products are the ONLY approved cleaning agents for your
HOT
SPRING
spa shell: plain water,
HOT SPRING
FRESHWATER
®
Spa Shine,
Soft Scrub
®
. The use of alcohol or any other household cleaner other than those
listed to clean the spa shell surface is NOT recommended. DO NOT use any
cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents since they may damage the shell
surface, specifically: Simple Green
®
, Windex
®
or Spa Mitt. NEVER USE HARSH
CHEMICALS! Damage to the shell by use of harsh chemicals is not covered under
the warranty. Always rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water.
2. Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go unchecked. Ask
your
HOT SPRING
dealer about a Stain and Scale Inhibitor to use if your spa has
a high concentration of dissolved minerals. (
Watkins Wellness
recommends
FRESHWATER
Stain & Scale Defense.)
3. Keep all cleaners out of the reach of children and use care when applying.
