Important Safety Information

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using this unit, always follow basic precautions, including the following:
DANGER: Risk of personal injury. 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: 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: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia. Prolonged immersions 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°F (37°C). The effects of hyperthermia include: (a) failure to perceive heat, (b)
failure to recognize the need to exit the bath, (c) unawareness of impending hazard, (d) fetal
damage in pregnant women, (e) physical inability to exit the bath, and (f) unconsciousness resulting
in the danger of drowning.
Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not
recommended by Kohler Company.
Do not operate this unit without the guard (cover) on the suction fitting.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening. Keep small objects such as bath toys and bathing
accessories out of the unit while it is running.
IMPORTANT! Flush your recirculation system twice a month or more depending upon usage, as described
in the "Flush System" section.
Repeated use of personal care products containing oils can damage the unit's plastic components. Do not use
heavy, vegetable-based shampoos or bath oils.
The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
(GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). Such a GFCI or RCD should be provided by the installer and
should be tested on a routine basis.
To test the GFCI or RCD, push the test button. The GFCI or RCD should interrupt power. Push the reset
button. Power should be restored.
If the GFCI or RCD fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing, indicating the
possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service representative before using.
The water action of this product will cause bath soap or shampoo to foam. Bubble bath is not recommended
for this reason. Refrain from using these products excessively.
Exercise extreme caution if you walk or move around in the bathing well. Plastic surfaces are inherently
slippery when wet.
Do not allow the water temperature in the unit to exceed 104°F (40°C) or the heater will not operate.
