Figure 2: Warnings attached to the hot tub regarding the supervision of children and the prohibition of sticking fingers into the jets. Figure 3: Warning notice attached to the hot tub for risk of electrocution 2.5 Health and Safety Devices The hot tub is designed and manufactured in such a way that leaks within the water-bearing assemblies are virtually impossible when the product is used as intended.
3 Product description 3.1 Description of the hot tub The hot tub is a wood-fired hot tub heated by a stainless steel wood stove for outdoor use. The tub is available in three different styles and three different sizes (170 cm length, 180 cm or 200 cm diameter), with two different stove positions (internal and external), and comes in a variety of wooden cladding options.

stove. The water, which is automatically set in motion by heating it, will then flow into the inner area of the hot tub. This creates natural water circulation without the need for external pumps. The heating time for an optimal bathing temperature of 37 to 40°C is about 2 to 3.5 hours (depending on the design of the hot tub, the outside temperature, the type of cover, the amount of water, the heating, and the insulation).

Figure 13: Correctly prepared installation site NOTE If there is no compacted floor, so that the hot tub sinks in up to the lower edge (approx. 2 cm), there is a risk of material damage and the warranty will be invalidated.
The following procedure is recommended by the manufacturer: After removing the foil in the upper area, turn the hot tub with the help of 3 to 5 physically strong people. 2. The stepped edge (approx. 2 cm high) makes it easier to set down the hot tub. You must hold the hot tub by this edge when setting it down.

6 Initial start-up Required tools / resources • Sponge / cleaning cloth • Hot Tub Clean Care • Firewood in accordance with Table 5 6.1 Requirements for personnel carrying out the installation The personnel carrying out the installation must read and understand this manual before proceeding.
Please see the following link for the Hot Tub Clean Care detergent: https://holzklusiv.de/produkt-kategorie/hot-tub-zubehoer/ The detergent reliably restricts the growth of bacteria and fungi. A thin layer of detergent must be applied to the entire surface of the tub (floor and walls) before it is filled for the first time.
6.8 Running the stove NOTE The water inlet for the stove must be filled with water before running the hot tub so as not to damage it. The water level of the tub must therefore be at least 50 mm above the upper edge of the water inlet for the stove. Do not use treated or damp wood.
Appropriate material for lighting (e.g.: kindling or cardboard) should be placed either on the ash pan or directly onto the grate beneath the wood (see Figure 25). Use a lighter or match to light the kindling. When inserting and lighting the wood, make sure there is sufficient air supply. As a rule, the stove door should be closed.
DANGER Risk of electrocution! Only use appropriately designed garden sockets with an IP protection rating of at least IPX5.

6.9.5 Optional: Switching on the sand filter unit It is assumed that the sand filter unit has been installed in accordance with the instructions provided in Chapter 5.4.3. Once correctly installed, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to switch on the sand filter unit.
7 Using the hot tub Required tools / resources • Firewood as per Table 5 • Hot Tub Clean Care 7.1 Requirements for personnel carrying out the installation The user must read and understand this manual before using the hot tub. You must follow all instructions given in this chapter while the hot tub is in use to make sure that the product is operated correctly and protect the safety of all users.
WARNING Burn hazard from overloading the stove! Take care not to load the stove with too much firewood, which can fall out when the stove door is opened. When extinguishing the embers with water (not recommended), make sure to keep a safe distance to avoid coming into contact with the hot steam.
• Using fresh water as bathing water. If circumstances change, the following intervals must be adjusted accordingly. Holzklusiv is happy to answer any questions you may have. As far as stove design is concerned, it should be noted that "316" model stoves are more resistant to corrosion than "304"...
Chapter 6.7 for further information. You must check and, where necessary, adjust the pH level or alkalinity of the water before each use at least. DANGER Risk of toxic or harmful cleaning products! Make sure that the chemical care products you use when maintaining the hot tub are kept out of the reach of children.
Please maintain and service the skimmer in accordance with the skimmer's instruction manual. 8.3.2.3 Suction pool cleaner If, despite using the sand filter unit and the skimmer, you notice increased contamination at the bottom of the tub, use a commercially available suction pool cleaner if necessary. 8.3.3 Disinfecting the water The best way to disinfect your water is to use the UV lamp as intended (see Chapter 8.3.3.1) in conjunction with the Hot Tub Clean Care detergent (see Chapter 8.3.5).

The following steps are to be carried out twice a year: Please contact us for details on where the UV lamp is to be installed. Then remove the corresponding profile boards by removing the screws with a screwdriver 2. Disconnect the cable (see D in Figure 28) from the lamp 3.
8.4 Emptying and cleaning the stove The stove must be emptied and cleaned after each use. First of all, you will need to wait until it has cooled down completely before you can empty and clean the stove, (optimally overnight) and then empty the ash pan and / or remove the rest of the ash using an ash shovel or scraper (see).
NOTE To avoid damage to your lawn, do not drain the water directly onto your lawn after chemical treatment or chlorination. 8.7 Wood treatment The manufacturer recommends staining and oiling the wood 2 to 3 times a year to prevent mould and cracks in the wood.
Drain the water and switch on all jet buttons and the sand filter unit to allow all the water to escape from all the pipes. Let the systems run for approx. 30 minutes 2. If you use an optional cover, the water will not cool down as quickly. This means that it can remain in the hot tub at lower outside temperatures without freezing compared to other models without an optional cover.
