Sanitizing cycle - Idrofl ow plus models
The disinfection system ensures maximum hy-
giene and prolongs the life of the hydromassage
circuit by cleaning the internal parts that cannot
be reached during normal cleaning.
To avoid wasting water, you can use the water
used for your hydromassage.
The cycle can be started only when the tub
contains water.
Before starting the cycle, during which there must
be nobody in the tub, remember to check that all
the nozzles are open.
Then, fi ll the reservoir (refer to the instructions)
and place the special key on the symbol on the
edge of the tub until LED "L" begins to fl ash.
Confi rm the start of the cycle by placing the key
on the symbol again within not more than 5 sec-
onds. If this interval is exceeded, the disinfection
cycle will not start.
N.B.:
This procedure is a safety feature designed to
ensure that the disinfection cycle cannot be
started inadvertently while the tub is in use.
The duration of the disinfection cycle is 2 minutes;
once started, the cycle cannot be interrupted.
If the disinfection cycle does not start, check that
there is disinfectant in the reservoir and that the
level of water is at least 5 cm above the sensor
or the hydromassage nozzles.
Filling the disinfectant reservoir
To fi ll the disinfectant reservoir, remove the cap
located on the lip of the tub and introduce 1 litre
of disinfectant.
The recommended disinfectant solution, which
is available through our authorized dealers and
Service Centres, not only sanitizes the appliance,
but also prevents fermentation and unpleasant
odours, and inhibits the formation of algae and
mildew.
A full reservoir, therefore, is suffi cient for about
8-9 cycles.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use products containing chlorine
(Amuchina, Bleach etc.) as these may
damage the system and cause leakage of
disinfectant.

How to use the hydromassage system
(Instructions valid for all models)
This paragraph describes the procedure neces-
sary to operate the hydromassage system, as well
as a number of practical suggestions.
Please remember that it is advisable to allow at
least two hours after a meal before a relaxing
massage.
First, switch the appliance on using the main
ON/OFF switch. Then fi ll the tub until the level
of the water is 5 - 6 cm above the hydromas-
sage nozzles.
The ideal water temperature for an effective
hydromassage is very slightly above normal
body temperature, i.e. about 37°C. If you add
essences to the water, read the instructions on
the product with care; if these products are not
specifi cally designed for use with hydromassage
systems, they may produce excessive foam when
the water is agitated.
To start (or stop) the hydromassage cycle, refer to
the specifi c operating instructions in the second
section of this manual.
The duration of the hydromassage cycle depends
on personal taste; however it should be borne
in mind that long hydromassage treatments may
lower the blood pressure or cause excessive
muscular relaxation.
When using the hydromassage system for the
fi rst few times, it is advisable to limit the duration
of the cycle to between 10 and 20 minutes.
After a hydromassage session, check that all
the nozzles are open and exit the tub. Start the
disinfection system to clean the internal parts of
the hydromassage circuit (refer to the instruc-
tions relative to the disinfection system fi tted to
the appliance).
It is advisable to sit or lie down in a comfortable
position for ten to twenty minutes after a hydro-
massage in order to enjoy the fullest effect.
