The whirlpool bath must be connected only to a supply
circuit that is protected by a residual current device
(RCD). Such a RCD should be provided by the installer
and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the
RCD, press the test button. The RCD should interrupt
power. Press the reset button. Power should be
restored. If the RCD fails to operate in this manner, the
RCD is defective. If the RCD interrupts power to the
bath without the test button being pressed, a ground
current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric
shock. Do not use this bath. Disconnect the bath and
have the problem corrected by a qualified service
representative before using.

described in this manual. Do not use attachments
