• Risk of Electric Shock: Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. Alternatively, permanently connect each metal surface to the unit's wire connector with a minimum 8 AWG solid copper conductor. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, television, or radio, within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa.
• Risk of Injury: Spa water should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are safe for healthy adults. Lower temperatures are recommended for children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C) due to the potential for fetal damage.
• Measure water temperature with an accurate thermometer before entering, as device tolerances vary.
• Alcohol, drugs, or medication use before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness and drowning.
• Obese persons and those with heart disease, high/low blood pressure, circulatory problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before use.
• Persons using medication should consult a physician, as some may cause drowsiness or affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
• Risk of Electric Shock: Do not use the spa during storms. Never use with a wet plug.
• Hyperthermia Warning: Symptoms include increased body temperature, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. Effects include failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit, unawareness of impending hazard, fetal damage, physical inability to exit, and unconsciousness leading to drowning. Alcohol, drugs, or medication can increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
• Child Safety: Water attracts children. Always attach the spa cover after each use.
• Temperature Warning: Never add water higher than 104°F (40°C) into the spa.
