NOTE: The whirlpool model number is printed on a label near the whirlpool pumps. This label also
identifies the electrical rating of the whirlpool. These whirlpools come equipped with two wiring
junction boxes and will only operate at 220-240 V and at 50/60 Hz.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the pumps and heater
to properly grounded Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters (GFCI's) or Earth-Leakage Circuit-Breakers
(ELCB's). This will provide additional protection against line-to-ground shock hazard. Two 220-240 V,
20 A, 50/60 Hz dedicated circuits are required.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Make sure the power has been disconnected before performing the
following procedures.
The whirlpool controls and system have been prewired at the factory. A licensed electrician should
make routine service connections to the junction boxes.
Connect service to the junction boxes. The junction boxes contains blue, brown and green with a
yellow stripe colored wires and ground lugs. Use one service for the pump controls, and another for
the heater. A communication cord from the heater to the primary control has been prewired at the
factory.
Provide separate equipment earthing conductors for the earth lugs located inside the junction boxes.
The earthing conductors must not be connected to any current-carrying conductors. Follow local
electrical codes.
Bond in accordance with national and local codes.
Wiring harnesses have been prewired at the factory. They allow communication between the
keypad, all features, and the controls. No additional wiring is required, but ensure that all wires are
securely fastened.
NOTE: Each wiring harness includes an antenna for the remote control. Do not alter or damage this
antenna during installation.
