Safety Information

WARNING:
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
• The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C) . Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C ) are considered
safe for a healthy adult. Extended use can cause hyperthermia. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding
ten minutes) and for young children.
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). Failure to do so may result in permanent injury
to your baby.
• Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF SKIN BURNS:
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the water temperature since the tolerance of
temperature-regulating devices may vary.
• Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s comfortable.
SAFETY SIGN
Each
HOT SPOT
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 SPOT
dealer.
IMPORTANT SPA INSTRUCTIONS
The following contains important spa information, and we strongly encourage you to read and apply them.
DO:
• Use and lock the 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.
DON’T:
• Leave the
HOT SPOT
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 SPOT
spa dealer. Many problems can easily be diagnosed over the telephone by an
authorized service technician.
SPA SHELL
Your
HOT SPOT
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 SPOT
spa shell: plain water, FRESHWATER Spa Shine,
Brillianize
®
or 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 SPOT dealer about a Stain and Scale Inhibitor
to use if your spa has a high concentration of dissolved minerals. (Watkins recommends FRESHWATER Stain & Scale Defense.)
3. Keep all cleaners out of the reach of children and use care when applying.
