| When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS DANGER • Risk of Accidental Drowning (especially children under 5 years). Caution shall be exercised to prevent unauthorized access to spa by children. This can be reached by adult supervisor securing the means of access or installing a safety protection device to the spa. To avoid accidents during spa use, ensure that children are kept under constant supervision.
• Risk of drowning. Inspect the spa cover regularly for leaks, premature wear and tear, damage, or signs of deterioration. Never use a worn or damaged cover: it will not provide the level of protection required to prevent unsupervised access to the spa by a child.
• Risk of injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
• Risk of injury. Replace damaged cord immediately. Do not bury cord. Never use an extension cord.
• Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 3.5 m (11.5 feet) of a spa or hot tub.
• Risk of Electric Shock. Do not use and unplug the spa when it is raining, thundering or lightning. WARNING • The spa electrical appliance should be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
• The spa electrical appliance comprises a portable residual current device (PRCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 10 mA. If a leakage current of more than 10 mA is detected, the PRCD will operate and cut-off the power supply, in such case, unplug and stop using the spa at once. You must contact the local service center for assistance and/or repair of the product.

• To reduce the risk of child drowning, supervise children at all times. Attach and lock spa cover after each use.
• To reduce the risk of injury/illness:
a) The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. It is recommended to seek medical advice before use.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperature and duration or use and should also seek medical advice.
c) The user should check the water temperature before entering the spa.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
e) Persons with any medical condition should seek medical advice before using a spa.
f ) Persons using medication and/or having an adverse medical history should seek medical advice before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

• Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
• Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
• When pregnant, soaking in not water for long periods can harm your fetus. Measure the water temperature before entering. Do not enter spa if water is hotter man 38°C (100°F). Do not stay in spa for longer than 10 minutes.
• Spa heat in conjunction with alcohol, drugs, or medication can cause unconsciousness.
• Exit immediately if uncomfortable, dizzy, or sleepy. Spa heat can cause hyperthermia and unconsciousness.
• The causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia may be described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees a6ove the normal body temperature of 37°C (98.6T). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include failure to perceive heat; failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub; unawareness of impending hazard; fetal damage in pregnant women; physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub; and unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
