Maintenance Of Wood Parts - Jacuzzi Delfi pro Uso-Mantenimiento

u Completely drain the spa via the drain valve, which is to be
left open, and the possible gate valve installed on the auxiliary
drain (if installed; refer to the pre-installation instructions).
The emptying of the spa is not complete; stagnant water on the
seats and bottom of the tub can be eliminated with a sponge, while
water left in the hoses can be sucked out through the hydromassa-
ge and suction intakes, using a liquid-suction pump. It is advisable
to empty the pump as well via the appropriate drain plug.
IMPORTANT
In cold climates, where temperatures drop well below 0°C,
all residual water should be eliminated from the circuit.
u Remove and clean the filter cartridge and store in a dry place.
u Cover the spa to keep it clean.
u Before you use the spa again, refer to the chapter on opera-
ting checks for first start-up.
u In areas where temperatures only occasionally drop below 0 °C,
the spa can be left in operation, since it is equipped with an anti-
freeze protection that ensures that a minimum water temperatu-
re is maintained (see the chapter "Setting water temperature", which
contains paragraphs on maintaining the minimum water temperature
and preventing freezing of water in the pipes - "Smart Winter" mode).

■ Maintenance of wood parts

The covering panels and the accessories of the Jacuzzi® spas are
made of natural wood of exceptional quality and duration. treated
with advanced products that highlight its natural beauty and ensu-
re protection against the elements.
The panels and accessories first receive a coat of stain, to give the
wood an even shade. Then two coats of synthetic oil are applied,
which give the piece a natural and particularly warm appearance.
Cleaning
u Maintenance varies according to the location of the spa and/
or accessories (sheltered from or exposed to the elements).
In any case, you should periodically wash the surfaces with fresh
water and neutral detergent. Then rinse.
Do not use detergents that contain alcohol, scale-removal sub-
stances, ammonia, abrasive products or bleach.
Do not use wax or polish.
Renewal
At least once a year (or less, depending on the conditions the
wood surfaces are exposed to), do the following:
u Lightly sand the surface with an abrasive sponge (or sandpa-
per, grain 320). Do not press too hard, especially near protruding
parts (corners and so on).
u Remove all dust. Use a soft-bristled brush to apply a layer of
synthetic oil, first crosswise and then along the entire height of
the panel.
Do not work in direct sunlight, nor if the temperature is espe-
cially cold.
u If necessary, remove any excess oil using a microfiber cloth.
Let dry for about an hour (at 20°C).
Note: tools can be washed with turpentine for subsequent reuse.
If more extensive restoration is require (for example, if the pro-
tective layer has been damaged in depth), you should thorou-
ghly sand the entre surface all the way down to the bare wood.
Apply a coat of stain if there are marked differences in shades.
Then apply two to three coats of synthetic oil as necessary, fol-
lowing the same method described for the renewal phase.
Note: make sure that, between one coat and the nest, the product
has dried completely. This normally takes 1 to 2 hours at an am-
bient temperature of about 20 °C).
For all special maintenance, it is advisable to contact specialized
personnel.
ATTENTION: sanding residue, tools and rags used to apply
the product may self-ignite if exposed to the air. Keep the re-
cipients (immerged in water) in tightly closed metallic contai-
ners and dispose of them immediately. Comply with current
applicable regulations.
