Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use a-spa unless they are supervised at all times. D WARNING: • To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. • To reduce the risk of injury, lower water temperatures are recommended for young children. Children are especially sensitive to hot water. DO: • Make sure you always lock the child resistant locks after using the spa for your children's safety.. Every spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers. lov • Test the water temperature with your hand before allowing your child to enter the spa to be sure that it's comfortable. Children are especially sensitive to hot water. • Remind children that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Make sure that the children are careful when entering or exiting the spa. DON-1T.- • ON'T• Allow children to climb onto the spa cover. • Allow children to have unsupervised access to the spa. AVOIDING THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION Risk of electrocution • Connect only to a grounded source. • Do not bury the power cord.A buried power cord may result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution if direct burial-type cable is not used, or if improper digging occurs. • A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control box inside the unit to permit connection of a minimum No. 10 AWG solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any metal equipment, metal water pipe, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, or conduit within five feet (1.5 m) of the unit as needed to comply with local requirements. D WARNING: • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace a damaged cord immediately. Failure to do so may result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution. • Your spa is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter for user and equipment protection. To ensure proper operation of this important safety device, test according to the following instructions per electrical configuration. 915 VOLT, CORD-CONNECTED MODELS: • The GFCI is located at the end of the power cord. Before each use, with the unit operating, _ s push the TEST button. The unit should stop operating and the GFCI power indicator will go out. Wait 30 seconds and then reset the GFCI by pushing the RESET button. The GFCI power indicator will turn on, restoring power to the spa. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, there may be an electrical malfunction and with it, the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the problem has been corrected. NOTE: This will-reset the filter cycle. 230 VOLT, PERMANENTLY INSTALLED MODELS: • A ground terminal is provided on the control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or subpanel with a continuous green, insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment. In addition, a bonding terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the outside of the control box for bonding to local ground points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this connector should be bonded with a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm=) solid copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa to comply with local requirements. The means of disconnection must be readily accessible, but must be installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the spa. • Your spa requires a suitably rated circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors. • Your spa must have a ground fault circuit interrupter in an electrical subpanel. Before each use of the spa and with the unit operating, push the TEST button on the breaker. The switch should click over to the "Trip" position. Wait 30 seconds and reset the GFCI breaker by switching it completely off and then completely on. The switch should then stay on. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected. IMPORTANT Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spa's Power Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure. A DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK • Install spa at least 5 feet (1.5 m)from all metal surfaces.A spa may be installed within 5 feet of a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 10 AWG solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance with National Electrical Code ANSI/NMFPA70-1993. • Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa. Failure to maintain a safe distance may result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution if the appliance should fall into the spa. • Install your spa in such a way that drainage is away from the electrical compartment and from all electrical components. DO: • Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly- use a licensed electrical contractor. • Disconnect the spa from the power supply before draining the spa or servicing the electrical components. • Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) before each use. DON'T.- • Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed. • Place electrical appliances within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. • Use an extension cord to connect the spa to its power source. The cord may not be properly grounded and the connection is a shock hazard. An extension cord may cause a voltage drop, which 2 IN tog will cause overheating of the jet pump motor and motor damage. DON'T • Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside. RISKS TO AVOID DANGER: RISK OF INJURY • DO NOT sit-in the filter compartment area. Sitting in this area can cause: a) Restriction of Filter Pump suction/vacuum b) Damage to components • Both can result in bodily harm. Should damage occur to components in this area, replace immediately! To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT remove floating weir, basket, and filter located in the filter compartment while the spa is running. • The suction fittings in the spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting. • There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Take care when entering or exiting the spa. • Never operate spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. • People with infectious diseases should not use the spa. • Keep any loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from rotating jets or other moving components. Increased side effects of medication • The use-of drugs, alcohol or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. • Persons using medications should consult a physician before using a spa; some medication may cause a user to become drowsy, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation. • Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anticoagulants should not use the spa. Health problems affected by spa use • Pregnant women should consult a physician before using spa. • Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using spa. Unclean water • Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care. The recommended levels for your your spa are: Free Available Chlorine (FAC): 3.0-5.0 ppm Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm Water pH: 7.2 - 7.8 Calcium Hardness: 100- 250 ppm IMPORTANT: Turn jet pump on for at least ten minutes after adding ANY spa water chemicals into the filter compartment. t • Clean the filter cartridge monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup which may affect the performance of the hydromassage jets, limit the flow, or trip the high-limit thermostat which will turn off the entire spa. F, AVOIDING THE RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which 3 5 occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above normal (98.6°F, 370C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include unawareness of impending hazard, failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, physical inability to exit the spa, fetal damage in pregnant women, and unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning. © WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: • The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (400C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children. Extended use can cause hyperthermia. • Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (380C). Failure to do so may result in permanent injury to your baby. • Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise. AVOIDING THE RISK OF SKIN BURNS: • To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer. • Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it's comfortable. SAFETY SIGN A SAFETY SIGN in the owner's package. The sign, which is required as a condition of Product Listing, should be permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the spa. IMPORTANT SPA INSTRUCTIONS The following contains important spa information, and we strongly encourage you to read and apply them. D0: • Use and lock the vinyl cover when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full. • Follow the Spa Care and Maintenance recommendations stated in this manual. • Use only approved accessories and recommended spa chemicals and cleaners. DON'T: • Leave the spa exposed to the sun without water or the vinyl cover in place. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause solar distress of the shell material. • Roll or slide the spa on its side. This will damage the siding. • Lift or drag the cover by using the cover lock straps; always lift or carry the cover by using the handles. • Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening of the control box by the spa owner will void the warranty. If you have an operational problem, carefully go through the steps outlined in the Troubleshooting section. If you are not able to resolve the problem, contact your authorized dealer. Many problems can easily be diagnosed over the telephone by an Authorized Service Technician. 4 ME=i PLANNING A LOCATION FOR YOUR SPA Consider these things when determining where to place your spa. SAFETY FIRST Make sure your spa is positioned-so access to the equipment compartment and side panels will not be blocked. Be certain your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and requirements. PLANNED USE OF SPA: How you intend to use your spa will help you determine where you should position the spa. For example, will you use it more for recreational o,therapeutic purposes? If your spa is mainly for family recreation, leave plenty of room around it for activity and lawn furniture. If you-will use it more for relaxation and therapy, you'll probably want to create privacy mood around the spa. PRIVACY.- Think RIVACYThink of your surroundings during all seasons to determine your best privacy options. Consider the view of your neighbors when you plan the location of your spa. VIEWS: Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting in your spa. Do you have a special landscape you will find enjoyable? Perhaps there is an area that has a soothing breeze during the day or a lovely sunset in the evening. ENVIRONMENT: If you-live in a climate with a snowy winter and hot summer, a place to change clothes or a house entry near the spa is convenient.A warmer climate may require shade from the hot sun. Consider placement of trees, shrubs, patio cover or perhaps a gazebo structure to provide what you will need. Indoor installations require adequate ventilation. When the spa is in use, considerable amounts of moisture are produced. This moisture can damage walls and ceiling surfaces over time. Special paint is available to resist moisture damage..Remember that spas periodically require drainage, so plan your environment accordingly. KEEP CLEAN: Prevent dirt and foliage from being tracked into your spa by utilizing concrete for paths and access areas. Check the location of spill paths from gutters, trees, and shrubs. SERVICE ACCESS: Many people choose to install tile or custom wood around their spas. If you are installing your tub with custom decorative trimming,, remember to allow for access to it for service. Should you need service, a technician may need to remove the tub's door panel, or access it from beneath. It is always best to design special installations so the spa can still be moved, or lifted from the ground. A GOOD FOUNDATION Your new spa needs a good solid foundation. The area your spa sits on must be able to support the spa, the water in it and those who use it. If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the spa is in place, causing stress to the shell or components. NOTE: Shimming your spa is not recommended, as this could cause the cabinet to warp, thereby voiding the warranty. 5 r r, EE AWARE: Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the spa warranty. It is the sole responsibility of the spa owner to provide a proper foundation for the spa. Make sure the foundation where the spa is placed drains water away from the spa. Proper drainage will keep components dry from rain and wet weather. Your spa weight must always be considered when installing your spa. If you are installing it on an elevated wood deck-or other structure, it is advisable to consult a structural engineer or contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT A QUALIFIED, LICENSED CONTRACTOR PREPARE THE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR SPA. A reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick is recommended for your spa. The reinforcing rod or mesh in the pad should be attached to a bond wire. INDOOR INSTALLATION: Be aware of some special requirements if you place your spa indoors. Water will accumulate around the spa, so flooring materials must provide a good grip when wet. Proper drainage is essential to prevent a build-up of water around the spa. When building a new room for the spa, it is recommended that a floor drain be installed. The humidity will naturally increase with the spa installed. Water may get into woodwork and produce dryrot, mildew, or other problems. Check for airborne moisture's effects on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the room. To minimize these effects, it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the spa area.An architect can help to determine if more ventilation must be installed. PLACING THE SPA CHECK THE DIMENSIONS OF YOUR SPA: Compare the spa dimensions to the width of gates, sidewalks, and doorways along the delivery route used to bring the spa into your yard. It may be necessary for you to remove a gate or partially remove a fence in order to provide an unobstructed pa8sageway to the installation location. Also, keep in mind—if you are using special equipment to place your spa into an area it will be necessary to include those measurements and weights. PLANNING A DELIVERY ROUTE.- Check OUTE:Check the width of gates, doors and sidewalks to make sure your spa will pass through unobstructed. You may have to remove a gate or part of a fence to allow for adequate width clearance. If the delivery route will require a 90-degree turn, check the measurements at the turn to ensure the spa will fit. Check for protruding gas meters, water meters,A/C units, etc., on your home which will cause obstructions along the delivery path to your yard. Check for low roof eaves, over hanging branches or rain gutters that could be an obstruction to overhead clearances. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES: The use of a crane for delivery and installation is primarily to avoid injury to your spa, your property or to delivery personnel. Our customer service may be able to assist you with the arrangements. Cranes are not considered "normal delivery". 6 t < EV 1 EQUIPMENT ACCESS PANEL Topside Control Panel yd'r •..fir;c..r�: •�:',..:,, < a.> kaa:=;:;.•.a.,. :� x+:�;...�..<<.. x.•;`e': ` .,''„i,'.. ,i.'�•,'"s•" '. <'y'd`"3+�3c�`'s:.';x,•k..� .,,<�yk 'a.d'F t..t`�-,.�.� .. .i.�• '�::'. :•i ��.c:�j`},�.:i,'�+�'%• h�•.�H: .'i,' "' r$gi ;l;'..i"• t .z,y.h�.C'�� Y x7%-• .g".s•Y"}U'T`s,t�`-Yrt.••„,i.s•, .i�.�l. .tF{Lr J•�4;,j{ ,�.. ^�`'v s3?i+i�., � ++��. �*i:ef$ �♦ •a 'c�J ..v><.

Do not use aluminum wire. 8 CONFIGURING SYSTEM SELECTING THE VOLTAGE FOR YOUR SPA Your spa is designed to operate at either 115V 15 amp or 230V, which requires a dedicated 230 volt 40 amp power supply. When the spa is setup for 115V, the heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of heat only when the pump is operating in LOW speed and the thermostat is calling for heat (NOTE: The heater does not operate when the pump is on high speed). When the spa is connected to 230 volts, the heater will provide approximately 4000 watts of heat when the pump is operating in LOW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained on the electrical control box cover. 115 VOLT INSTALLATION Spas come with a factory-installed power supply GFCI cord and are to be plugged into a grounded type 115 volt, 15 ampere dedicated receptacle. No other electrical appliance or fixture can be used on this circuit. IMPORTANT. Under NO circumstances should an extension cord be used. Use of an extension cord will seriously degrade the performance of the equipment and can create an electrical hazard. 115V Input Voltage 230V Input Voltage t>; ' t Jumper Wire J11 - J32 Dip Switches 2,7 & 10 UP ON/UP OFF/DOWN Dip Switches 2 & 7 UP Ht & 1 2 3 4� 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 230 VOLT INSTALLATION When converting the spa to 230V, Dip Switch 10 must be set to the down position.A jumper wire from J11 to J32 must also be removed.

FREEZE PROTECTION If the temperature sensors detect within the heater, a drop to below 44°F (7° C), the pump will automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The equipment stays on until 4 minutes after the sensors detect that the spa temperature has risen to 44°F (7° C) or higher. Al Warning! Shock Hazard! No User Serviceable Parts. Do not attempt service of this control box. Contact Customer Service for assistance. Follow all owner manual power connection instructions. Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician and all grounding connections must be properly installed. 0 WARNING! DO NOT ENTER SPA IF WATER IS TOO HOT Water is too hot. Overheat protection heater is deactivated. Spa water temperature is above acceptable limits. When the actual water Temperature is approximately 2° F (1° C) above the set temperature, the circulation pump will stop operating to reduce (frictional) heating. If the spa water temperature continues to rise and gets above 110° F (441C), the spa will go into an "OH" overheat condition. To correct Condition: 1. Remove the spa's cover and allow your spa to cool down. 2. Reduce the temperature setting. 3. When the water temperature drops below 106° F (410C), the spa will resume normal operation. 4.

Rotate all the air control valves counterclockwise and observe the increased jet action. Rotating.the air control in the opposite direction to turn air off and allow the jets to work with water only. Turn the air controls off when the spa is not in use, this will prevent cold air from entering the spa-and will keep heating cost to a minimum. The ozone jet, will always produce air bubbles when pump is on. DIVERTER VALVE(WHEN EQUIPPED) The diverter valve on your spa allows you to direct the flow of water from the pump to one of two combinations of jets. The function of the diverter valve can best be learned by experimentation. Turn the large valve all the way to one side or the.other to see which jets are on. WHIRLPOOL JET(WHEN EQUIPPED) The Whirlpool Jet is located below the water line at or near the control panel area, in the wall. This jet is a diverter valve and high capacity jet that has a larger diameter than the hydrotherapy jets. The whirlpool jet is turned on and off by rotating the jet face. Because, there is a substantial amount of water pressure when the jet is in pperation, you must turn the pump off or to low speed before attempting to rotate the jet face. As the whirlpool jet open position is increased it will begin turning off all of the hydrotherapy jets. One of the two air control valves is dedicated to the this jet. HYDROTHERAPY JETS The hydrotherapy jets are recessed in the wall of the spa. Rotate the medium jet faces counter- clockwise to turn the jets on, clockwise to turn the jets off. Turning a jet on or off will increase or decrease the effects of any jets not in the closed position. MULTI-COLOR LED LIGHT Your spa is installed with a multi-color LED light, pressing the light switch button on and off will cause the light color to change to your desired color. OZONE GENERATOR (WHEN EQUIPPED) The ozone system enhances the quality of the spa water when used to supplement the spa owner's regular water maintenance program. Contrary to some information circulated throughout the pool and spa industry regarding ozone systems, ozone CAN'T be used as a single-source sanitizer, water clarifier, anti-foamer, and mineral chelating agent.A secondary source sanitizer must be used to maintain 3.0 -5.0 ppm of Free Available Chlorine (FAC). Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends that a chemical maintenance program based on recognized and documented industry standards still be followed when using an ozone purification system to assure water sanitation and the highest quality purified water. WATERFALL (WHEN EQUIPPED) Your spa has a control valve to operate the amount of flow through the waterfall from no flow to a steady stream. This valve is located next to the waterfall. Note: The air control valve and the waterfall flow valve may look and function exactly the same and may operate in the same way, however; they will be separate components. 14 o NA 9 10 ff-TA,M1, 12)K 11111 rocedures should be followed on initial startup and whenever the spa is drained for The following p routine maintenance.

If unsure about any step in the process, please contact a Customer Care Associate at (888) 961-7727) or by email at ahsservice@watkinsmfg.com. Initially, it is advisable to identify what minerals (e.g. iron) are present in the local source water. This will provide a better understanding of how to treat the water. Please follow the four steps below and be sure to achieve-the correct levels in each area before moving onto the next step. STEP#1: ESTABLISH PROPER PH LEVEL: The recommended range for pH is between 7.2 and 7.8. If the reading is too high, lower the pH by using a pH Down/Decreases (sodium bisulfate). If the pH level needs to be increased, do so with a pH Up/Increaser (sodium hydrogen carbonate). Any pH Up or Down should be added one teaspoon at a time, waiting one-half hour between application and re-measuring. STEP#2: MEASURE TOTAL ALKALINITY The ideal range is between 80-120 parts per million (PPM). If the total alkalinity is too high, it should be reduced by using an Alkalinity Down/Decreases (sodium bisulfate). If the total alkalinity is too low, it can be increased by adding an Alkalinity UP/Increaser (sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate). These products should be added in small amounts —a teaspoon at a time. After adding one teaspoon, wait one half hour before re-measuring. Once the safe range of total alkalinity is established, proceed to the next step. °r STEP 93: DETERMINE CALCIUM HARDNESS: It is important to bring the calcium reading to between 100-250 PPM. If the reading requires adjustment, it should now be corrected. If the water is too soft (a low reading) calcium hardness should be added to the water to increase the PPM reading. If the water is too hard (a high reading), it can be corrected by either: (A) a mixture of hard and soft water added to attain a reading in the safe range, or (B) addition of stain and scale control. If calcium hardness is a problem with the local source water (either too hard or too soft) a test kit, which measures calcium hardness, is essential. STEP#4: SANITIZING: After steps 1-3 are complete, the spa must be sanitized using Chlorine (sodium dichlor). Add 2 teaspoons of Chlorine, and increase as necessary to reach a level of 3-5 ppm. Check and maintain this level weekly, and before and after using the spa. IMPORTANT NOTE.A granulated sodium dichlor is highly recommended for sanitizing spa water. Never use a sodium trichlor tablet in any form even with a floater. As with any other chemicals, the sanitizer should be introduced to the spa with the jets running a minimum of 10 minutes. WEEKLY SHOCK: Using a potassium monopersulfate (MPS) shock, add approximately 2 oz. spreading it over the water while the jets are running. Shocking is achieved by adding the MPS to turbulent water. Leave the cover up until the jets automatically'tum off. The spas are equipped with an automatic time out feature that will shut the jets off after 15',minUtes.Then return the cover to the closed position to maintain heat. IMPORTANT: Damage cause�d,by dirty, clogged, or calcified filters; damage to the spa surface caused by improper use of_ch`err ical" to lie on the surface; damage caused by improper pH balance, improper calcium hardness level or other improper water chemistry is not covered under the spa warranty. 16 _. FILTER CARTRIDGE MAINTENANCE Every two weeks, the filter cartridge should .be cleaned to remove the objects and particles that have lodged in the.cartridge pleats. Using household water pressure and a garden hose with a pressurized nozzle, push water from inside to outside of the pleats, forcing all the trapped particles out. NOTE: Never run your spa without a filter cartridge!!! This will invalidate your warranty. NOTE: Filter cartridges should be replaced every six to eight months or earlier when needed. Dirty filters can cause your spa pump to burn out and will invalidate your warranty. FILTER CARTRIDGE REMOVAL AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Spa uses a screw in filter cartridge that is easily removed. • Turn off the power to the turn filter basket ou ter clockwOFF the ise nel breaker). • Push down slightly and to se to unlock, then pull the basket and weir out. • Unscrew the filter cartridge counter clockwise and bring it out of the spa (requires many turns). • te and separate filter pleats while spraying water to Rinse cartridge using a garden hose. Rota remove all dirt and debris possible. Lef'filter dry and look for calcium deposits (scaling) or an oil film. If you find these, you will need to deep clean your filter cartridge with a "spa filter cleaner" solution to break down and remove unwanted deposits and oils. (For longer filter life you should soak filter regularly.) CAUTION! Always use proper eye protection when using chemicals, or high-pressure water. Read instructions on cleaning products and follow applicable safety and warning instructions listed on label. .,k'4y�`:" ;Y •..f i it zCt Fi s;3 y,i,.;.rp. CAUTION! Never scrub the filter cartridge with a brush, as this will cause the filter to wear out and come apart. Never let the spa pump run without a filter cartridge in the skimmer compartment. Running the spa without a filter cartridge may permit debris to enter the spa plumbing and void the warranty! • Replace filter cartridge, then reinstall basket and weir, (insert and rotate clockwise to lock into position). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Turn spas power back on. 17 - a v SURFACE CARE Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners to clean the spa. Typically, a mild detergent and water will resolve cleaning issues. COVER CARE Please keep your cover free from dirt at all times. Use a cover cleaner or a warm mild soapy water to clean the surface. Do not use any silicone-based products, as it will dry and may eventually crack the vinyl. NOTE: Do not stand on the cover at any time. Remove the cover when adding chemicals to your spa. This will extend the life of your cover. The gasses from burned off chemicals will be trapped under the cover, if not removed. These gasses may eat away at the protective lining of the foam inserts. This will not be covered under warranty. CABINET CARE Little maintenance is required to keep your spa cabinet,looking good Spa cabinet product should be cleaned as needed to remove dirt and debris. • NO abrasive or harsh chemicals should be used on the spa's cabinet. • NO solvents or cleaners containing aronlatic solvents should be used on the spas cabinet. • Hot Soapy water is the best choice for cleaning the spa's cabinet. AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES (100 °F-or 38 °C) to avoid your spa cabinet from buckling SPA LED LIGHT REPLACEMENT • Turn OFF the power to the spa. • Remove the equipment compartment access door. • Locate the rear of the spa light. • To remove the LED, turn outside housing counter clockwise '/4 turn, and pull out and remove LED from socket.

When the spa falls below the reset temperature you can push any button on the topside control to reset the control system. If the spa will not reset, then shut off power to the spa and call Customer Service at (888) 961-7727.
