SPECIAL MAINTENANCE

Winter inactivity

In areas where winter temperatures frequently drop below 0°C,
during periods in which the hot tub is not used, proceed as follows:
Turn off the power supply on the main panel.
Completely drain the hot tub via the drain valve, which is to
be left open, and the possible gate valve installed on the auxil-
iary drain (if installed; refer to the pre-installation instructions).
The emptying of the hot tub 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 hydro-
massage and suction intakes, using a liquid-suction pump. It is ad-
visable 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.
Remove and clean the filter cartridge and store in a dry place.
Cover the hot tub to keep it clean.
Before you use the hot tub again, refer to the chapter on op-
erating checks for first start-up.
In areas where temperatures only occasionally drop below 0 °C,
the hot tub can be left in operation, since it is equipped with an
anti-freeze protection that ensures that a minimum water tempera-
ture 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 synthetic wood parts

Synthetic wood panels require little maintenance; use a neutral
detergent when cleaning, rinsing with clean water.
CAUTION
Do not use jets of water to clean panels as they may
penetrate into the hot tub technical compartment and
cause damage to the electrical system.

Maintenance of natural wood parts

Some of the Jacuzzi® hot tub covering panels and accessories
are made of natural wood, treated with advanced products which
enhance the natural beauty and ensure protection against atmos-
pheric agents.
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
Maintenance varies according to the location of the hot tub
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
These operations do not apply to varnished wood com-
ponents.
At least once a year (or less, depending on the conditions the
wood surfaces are exposed to), do the following:
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).
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.
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 thoroughly
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 ap-
ply two to three coats of synthetic oil as necessary, following 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 ambi-
ent 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 recipi-
ents (immerged in water) in tightly closed metallic containers
and dispose of them immediately. Comply with current appli-
cable regulations.
Clearray™ Maintenance
The Clearray™ filtering system uses a UV lamp. The lamp must be
replaced after one year.
CAUTION
Do not carry out any UV lamp cleaning or replacement
operations. Staring at the UV lamp when on may cause
serious harm to sight or even blindness. Contact the
dealer or an authorised assistance centre.
