14. Make Electrical Connections
NOTE: The whirlpool model number is printed on a label near the whirlpool pump. This label also
identifies the electrical rating of the whirlpool. All whirlpools come equipped with a wiring junction box
and will only operate at 220 V through 240 V and at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the pump to a
properly grounded Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Earth-Leakage Circuit-Breaker (ELCB).
This will provide additional protection against line-to-ground shock hazard. A 220 - 240 V, 20 A, 50/60
Hz dedicated circuit is 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 a routine service connection to the junction box.
Connect service to the junction box. The junction box contains blue, brown and green with a yellow
stripe colored wires and a ground lug.
Provide a separate equipment earthing conductor for the earth lug located inside the junction box.
The earthing conductor must not be connected to any current-carrying conductor. Follow local
electrical codes. Bond in accordance with national and local codes.
A wiring harness has been prewired at the factory, allowing communication between the keypad, all
features, and the control. No additional wiring is required, but ensure that all wires are securely
fastened.

15. Install the Whirlpool Trim Kit
Install the whirlpool trim kit according to the instructions packed with the trim kit. Pay particular
attention to the jet installation steps below - they are very important and are included here to help
you obtain smooth, trouble-free jet operation.
NOTE: The jet O-ring must be correctly positioned, must be lubricated, and must be in good condition to
permit easy rotation and proper operation of the jet.
Install the O-ring onto the first shoulder of the jet. Lubricate the O-ring with silicone lubricant to
prevent noisy operation of the jet.
Carefully insert the jet into the housing, and lightly push and rotate the jet until it snaps into
position. Do not force the jet.
NOTE: When installed correctly, the jet should turn smoothly both clockwise and counterclockwise.
16. Test Run the Whirlpool
Check all electrical connections, and make sure the electrical power to the whirlpool is turned on.
Make sure all union connections to the pump and heater are securely hand tightened.
Verify that the pump banding straps have been cut, and that the pump control is resting directly on
the subfloor. Ensure that the rubber isolation feet are in place.
Fill the whirlpool to a level at least 2″(5.1 cm) above the top of the highest jet.
Operate the whirlpool for 5 minutes (refer to the ″Operating Sequence″section) and check all
whirlpool piping connections, on the back side, for leaks.

18. Clean-Up After Installation
When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the
whirlpool surface. If necessary, use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface of the
whirlpool, user keypad and remote control.
Remove stubborn stains, paint, or tar with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners
containing petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any whirlpool surfaces for long periods
of time. Remove plaster by carefully scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire
brushes, or other metal tools. Use a powder-type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild
abrasive action to any residual plaster.
