Important Safety Instructions
PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

Warning:

Whirlpool bathtubs utilize acrylic and fiberglass materials (which are inherently slippery surfaces), electricity, water, air pressure and suction. The following basic safety precautions should always be followed when using your bathtub.

CAREFULLY READ & FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE YOUR WHIRLPOOL BATHTUB.

Prior to installation:

Remove protective plastic and packaging and carefully inspect for any damage.

Check tub for correct model name, size, color and trim finish.

Be sure to test the tub while pump and electrical systems are accessible.

Although the bathtub employs a skid resistant bottom surface, caution should always be exercised when entering or exiting the bathtub.

DANGER To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children or persons with a disability to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.

This product is intended for indoor use only. Use the bathtub only for its intended purpose as described in this manual and do not use attachments or accessories, which are not recommended by manufacturer.

Never drop or insert any objects into any openings.

Persons with long hair should wear a bathing cap when using the bathtub.

Do not use the bathtub without the suction cover in place.

The bathtub must be connected to an electrical supply circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) which is provided by the installer. The GFCI should be tested periodically to ensure that it is working properly.

Keep all appliances, such as radios and hairdryers, a safe distance from the bathtub.

For permanently connected units, a green colored terminal (or a wire connector marked G, GR, Ground, or Grounding) is provided within the terminal compartment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment.

Failure to comply with all instructions, requirements and warnings contained in this manual creates a serious hazard to the bathtub user and may result in serious personal injury.
