INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
DANGER: Risk of accidental injury or drowning.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit
children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury.
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the
whirlpool.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock.
Do not permit electric appliances (such as a hair dryer, lamp,
telephone, radio, or television) within 5’ (1.5 m) of this whirlpool.
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia.
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs
when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal
temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia
include: (a) failure to perceive heat, (b) failure to recognize the need to exit the whirlpool, (c)
unawareness of impending hazard, (d) fetal damage in pregnant women, (e) physical inability to
exit the whirlpool, and (f) unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia.
People using medications and/or having an adverse medical
history should consult a physician before using a whirlpool equipped with a heater.
WARNING: Risk of fetal injury.
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician
before using the whirlpool.
WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia or drowning.
Do not use the whirlpool immediately following
strenuous exercise.
WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia or drowning.
Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may
cause injury. Test and adjust the water temperature before use.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury or drowning.
Do not operate this unit without the guard
(cover) over the suction fitting.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Use this whirlpool only for its intended purpose as described in this guide. Do not use attachments not
recommended by Kohler Co.
The whirlpool must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground-Fault
Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI)*. Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a
routine basis. To test the GFCI, press the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Press the reset
button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the
GFCI interrupts power to the whirlpool without the test button being pressed, a ground current is flowing,
indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this whirlpool. Disconnect the whirlpool and have
the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
Your new KOHLER whirlpool has been listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories, ensuring safety for you and
your family. This whirlpool also conforms to rigid ANSI and IAPMO standards set within the plumbing
industry.
