OPERATING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR INJURY
TO PERSONS
WARNING! RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY:
• Use this unit for its intended use as described in this manual. DO NOT use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
• To avoid injury, exercise caution when entering or exiting your walk-in tub.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children or persons with infirmities to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
• The maximum recommended temperature is 102 F° (38.8 C °). Fifteen minutes per soak is the recommended maximum time at
102 F°, which may induce Hyperthermia which is an increase in body temperature. This can be a serious medical condition and
all bath users are cautioned against lengthy immersion at high water temperatures. Should you become light-headed, dizzy, or
nauseous, immediately get out of the bath and cool off.
• Risk of electric shock; do not permit electric appliances (such as a hair dryer, lamp, telephone, radio or television) within four
feet of this bathtub.
• Never drop or insert any objects into any openings.
• Do not operate this unit without the guard over the suction fittings.
WARNING! RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA AND POSSIBLE DROWNING. People using medications, herbal remedies, sleep aids,
and /or having adverse medical history should consult a physician before using this product.
WARNING! NO FOOD OR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. Use of your bathtub immediately after meals is not recommended. Avoid
alcohol consumption before or during the bathing. Alcoholic beverages can cause drowsiness or hyperthermia resulting in loss of
consciousness or even drowning.
The unit 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, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt
power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there may be a ground current
flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this massage bathtub. Disconnect the jet massage bathtub and
have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the dedicated electrical supply circuit(s) must be grounded. To do this, connect the third leg of
the 3-conductor wiring cable to the grounding terminal of the electrical service panel and run continuously to the green grounding
screw on the GFCI or electrical receptacle in the wiring compartment.
