IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
(READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS)
AVOIDING THE RISK TO CHILDREN
DANGER - RISK OF CHILD DROWNING
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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this spa 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.
• The device should not be used by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they receive supervision or training.
• 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.
DO:
• Make sure you always lock the child resistant locks after using the
spa for your children's safety. Every HOT SPRING spa is equipped
with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for
Safety Covers.
• Test the water temperature with your hand before allowing children 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 children are careful when entering or exiting the spa.
DON'T:
• Allow children to climb onto the spa cover.
• Allow children to have unsupervised access to the spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF
ELECTROCUTION
DANGER - 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 6
mm solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any
²
metal equipment, metal water pipe, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, or conduit within 1.5 m (5') of the unit as needed to comply
with local requirements.
• Do not operate the main audio/video button controls on any external
media devices such as a CD or DVD player while inside in the spa.
Operation of integrated audio/video equipment through the spa
control panel or wireless remote is permitted and acceptable.
• Do not connect any auxiliary components (for example, cable
additional speakers, headphones, additional audio components) to
the audio system unless approved by WATKINS WELLNESS.
• Do not self service audio component by opening spa door as this may
expose dangerous voltage or other risk of injury. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
• Do not attach an external antennae to a spa audio system unless
installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with National Electric
Code.
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.
• Always test the residual current device (RCD) before each use of the
spa. If the RCD does not perform properly, a ground current is flowing
indication the possibility of electric shock. Disconnect power to the spa
until the fault has been identified and corrected.
• In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal
cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external
switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is
regularly switched on and off by the utility.
NOTE: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the RCD may
cause the spa's Power Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this
occurs, repeat the RCD test procedure.
• Your spa must be supplied by an RCD - with a tripping rating not
exceeding 30 mA in an electrical subpanel.
• Install the spa so proper drainage is provided for the compartment
containing the electrical components.
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install at least 1.5 m (5') from all metal surfaces. A spa may be
installed within 1.5 m (5') of a metal surface if each metal surface is
permanently connected by a minimum 6mm² solid copper conductor
attached to the wire ground connector on the terminal box that is
provided.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone,
radio, or television within 1.5 m (5') 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.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone,
radio, or television within 1.5 m (5') 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.
