Cleanup
Toavoiddullingandscratchingthesurfaceofthebathtub,neveruseabrasivecleaners.Formostsoiledsurfaces,a
mildliquiddetergentandwarmwaterissufcient.Thefollowingisalsorecommended:
•
Removespilledplasterwithawoodorplasticedge.Spotsleftbyplasterorgroutcanberemovediflightlyrubbed
 withdetergentonadampclothorsponge.Donotusemetalscrapers,wirebrushesorothermetaltools,asthey
 willdamagethebathtub’ssurface.
•
Paint,tar,orotherdifcultstainscanberemovedwithFantastik®orsoapywater.
•
Minorscratcheswhichdonotpenetratethecolornishcanberemovedbylightlysandingwith600-gritwet/dry
 sandpaper.Youcanrestoretheglossynishtotheacrylicsurfaceofthebathtubwithaspecialcompound,
 Meguiar’s#10MirrorGlaze.Ifthatisnotavailable,useautomotiverubbingcompoundfollowedbyanapplication
 ofautomotivepastewax.
•
Majorscratchesandgougeswhichpenetratetheacrylicsurfacewillrequirerenishing.CallJacuzziLuxuryBath

General Operation Information
AllbathtubsmanufacturedbyJacuzziLuxuryBatharedesigned
for“llanddrain,”whichmeansthebathtubshouldbedrained
aftereachuseandlledwithfreshwaterbythenextbather.This
isahealthprecaution,asthesebathtubsarenotdesignedtohold
watercontinuouslylikepoolsorspas.
Closethedrainandllthebathtubuntilwaterisatleast1˝to2˝
(25mmto51mm)abovethehighestjet(seewaterlineindicatedin
theillustration-Figure11).Donotturnonthewhirlpoolsystemat
anytimeifthejetsarenotcompletelyimmersedinwater.Running
thewhirlpoolsystemwhenthereisinsufcientwaterinthebathtub
couldresultinwatersprayingoutsidethebatharea.Running
thewhirlpoolsystemwithoutwaterwilldamagetherecirculating
pump.
NOTE
 Whenexitingthebathtub,thewaterlevelwilldropbelowthejetswhichcouldresultinwater
   beingsprayedoutoftheunit.Topreventthis,youmustturnunitOFFbeforeexitingbathtub.
