IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
AVOIDING THE RISK TO CHILDREN
WARNING:
• RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid
accidents, ensure that children cannot use a spa unless they are supervised at all times.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
• To reduce the risk of injury, lower water temperatures are recommended for young children. Children are especially
sensitive to hot water.
DO:
• Make sure you always lock the child resistant locks after using the spa for your children’s safety. Every Hot Spot
®
Spa is
equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers.
• Test the water temperature with your hand before allowing your child to enter the spa to be sure that it’s comfortable.
Children are especially sensitive to hot water.
• Remind children that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Make sure that the children are careful when entering or exiting the
spa.
DON’T:
• Allow children to climb onto the spa cover.
• Allow children to have unsupervised access to the spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Risk of electrocution
• Connect only to a grounded source.
• Do not bury the power cord. A buried power cord may result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution if direct
burial-type cable is not used, or if improper digging occurs.
• A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control box inside the unit to permit connection of a
minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any metal equipment, metal water
pipe, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, or conduit within five feet (1.5 m) of the unit as needed to comply with local
requirements.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace a damaged cord immediately. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
personal injury due to electrocution.
• Your spa is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter for user and equipment protection. To ensure proper operation
of this important safety device, test according to the following instructions per electrical configuration.
Cord-Connected 115 Volt, 15 Amp Models: The GFCI is located at the end of the power cord. Before each use, with the
unit operating, push the TEST button. The unit should stop operating and the RESET button should protrude. Push the
RESET button. The spa should now return to normal operation. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, there may
be an electrical malfunction and with it, the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the problem has been
corrected.
Hard-Wired 115 Volt, 30 Amp Models: The GFCI breaker, located inside the subpanel, supplies all of the power to the spa.
Before each use, open the subpanel and press the TEST button located on the subpanel GFCI breaker. The breaker should
snap into the “tripped” position and the spa should stop operating. Reset the subpanel GFCI breaker by completely flipping
the breaker switch down, into the off position. Then, flip the breaker switch up, into the on position. Power should be
restored and the spa should resume operation. If the breaker does not perform in this manner, there may be an electrical
malfunction and with it, the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the problem has been corrected.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet of a metal surface if each metal
surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.42 mm2) solid copper conductor attached to the wire
ground connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance with National Electrical Code
