OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Now that your Tirage Plus spa is in place, you are probably eager to take advantage of its unique designed-in

features—especially the patented Jacuzzi

º 

 Whirlpool Bath hydromassage performance.  Besides being a beautiful

addition to your indoor decor or outdoor landscaping, your Jacuzzi whirlpool spa will provide you with the ultimate in
spa pleasure.

Basic Control Set-Up

The control set-up on your Tirage spa is designed to give you fingertip control of the heater, air induction, lights and

whirlpool, filter,   and blower systems of your unit from inside or outside your spa.  Follow the basic control set-up
described below to familiarize yourself with the several functions of the control panels located on the top of the spa.

CAUTION

Do not turn on power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level. (See water line indicator
mark on skimmer frame.)  When the power is on, the built-in timer may activate the system even though the
SYSTEM is turned off at the control panel.  If the spa’s motor/pump is actuated when there is not sufficient
water in the unit, the circulation pump and heater could be irreparably damaged. Not heeding this caution will
nullify the warranty.  In addition to damaging the unit, operating the spa with insufficient water could cause
a fire.

6

Your spa is provided with a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). At initial start-up and at least
once a month thereafter, with power on, push the
test button located on the System Control Module.
The reset button should pop out.  Push this button in
to reset.  If the interrupter fails to operate in this
manner, there is a ground current flowing or a device
malfunctioning, indicating the possibility of electric
shock. Turn off power and do not use the spa
until the source of the breakdown has been
identified and corrected.

Using  a garden hose, fill the spa with water to the
water line indicator mark on the skimmer frame.

At the house service panel, turn on the circuit
breaker or switch that controls the electrical service
to your spa. (Make sure there is no other appliance
on that circuit.)

Open the skirt door giving access to the System
Control Module.

OPERATION

HIGH TEMPERATURE SAFETY SWITCH

High temperatures above the thermostat range
will cause the high temperature safety switch to
trip and the system to turn off.  See operating
instructions.  When water temperature is less
than 100

°

 F., reset by pressing the safety switch

reset button located on the cover of the heater
enclosure.

JACUZZI WHIRLPOOL BATH DEALER FOR SERVICE.

NO USER SERVICABLE PARTS BEHIND THIS DOOR.

CAUTION

This system is GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) pro-tected for your
safety.  Bypassing the GFCI or tampering with the system in any way may
cause electrical shock, in-jury or death and will void the warranty.  GFCI
protection does not extend to 230 VAC circuit conversion.  If test indi-cates
that the GFCI is not functioning, DO NOT USE THE UNIT until the electrical
problem has been corrected. (See installation instructions.)  TEST THE GFCI
ONCE A MONTH.

TEST PROCEDURE
Unit must be filled to proper water level and correct power supplied.

1. Push TEST button of GFCI.
2. RESET button should pop out.  This should cut off power

to the system.  CAUTION: if RESET button does not
pop out, or if RESET button does pop out and system
is still on, DO NOT USE YOUR SPA.

3. If the GFCI tests okay, restore power by pushing in the

reset button.  The RESET button must be pushed until
it locks into place and remains depressed.

IF THE GFCI FAIL TO RESET PROPERLY, DO NOT USE
THE SPA!  CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
