Important Information
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
DANGER: Risk of personal injury. To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this
product unless they are closely supervised at all times
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the
unit.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electric appliances (such as a hair dryer, lamp,
telephone, radio, or television) within the enclosure.
WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia. People using medications and/or having an adverse medical
history should consult a physician before using this product.
Use this product only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Do not operate this product without the guard (cover) over the suction fitting.
This installation must have two Class A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters (GFCIs) or Residual Current
Devices (RCDs). The GFCIs or RCDs protect against line-to-ground shock hazard. Use two 220/240 V, 20 A,
50/60 Hz dedicated services; one for the pumps and controls, and another for the heater. Such a GFCI or
RCD should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis.
To test the GFCI or RCD, press the test button. The GFCI or RCD should interrupt power. Press the reset
button. Power should be restored.
If the GFCI or RCD fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI or RCD is defective. If the GFCI or 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.
Disconnect the product and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs
when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal
temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia
include: (a) failure to perceive heat, (b) failure to recognize the need to exit the bath, (c)
unawareness of impending hazard, (d) fetal damage in pregnant women, (e) physical inability to
exit the bath, and (f) unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
IMPORTANT! Flush the system twice a month or more depending upon usage, as described in the ″Care
and Cleaning″section.
Do not allow the water temperature in the product to exceed 104°F (40°C).
Keep small objects such as bath toys and bathing accessories out of the product while the unit is running.

Your Hydro-Massage System
Your Kohler personal hydro-massage system is the ultimate custom hydro-massage system. The exhilarating
spray will stimulate, invigorate, and energize your body.
The quiet but powerful pump and motor deliver up to 80 gallons (303 L) of water each minute. The system
recirculates water up to two times per minute. A heater helps maintain the proper water temperature to
enhance your ultimate bathing experience.
Kohler Co. 3 1032110-5-C

Your Hydro-Massage System Features
User Keypad - Located within easy reach, the keypad allows you to turn the hydro-massage system,
and heater on and off and regulate the water flow through the jets.
Pump Motor - Provides quiet, variable speed power to circulate the water and create the
hydro-massage action.
Bodyjet valves - Conveniently located on the face of the tower to offer quick, easy control over your
hydro-massage. The top bodyjet valve opens and closes the center array of two bodyjets. The
bottom valve controls the bottom set of four bodyjets. Open or close these valves to customize your
hydro-massage needs.
Heater - Automatically helps to maintain the temperature of the water up to 104°F (40°C) to
enhance your hydro-massage experience. The heater turns on automatically when the
hydro-massage system is operating, and turns off when the pump motor is turned off. The heater
may be turned off, through the keypad, at any time while the pump is operating.
Before Operating
Please read and follow these steps carefully so you can safely enjoy the benefits of hydro-massage bathing.
Before Turning the Hydro-Massage System On:
Remove all loose bathing items, such as soap bars, shampoo bottles and washcloths from the direct
water path.
Remove your eyeglasses or contact lenses and any loose jewelry before entering the hydro-massage
room.
Don’t use shampoo, soap or bubble bath in the water. You can freely use shampoo and soap for
showering before you fill the footbath basin.
Fill the footbath basin with tempered water to a level at least 3″(7.6 cm) above the top of the
suction cover.
Close the enclosure door securely.
Use your hand to check the water temperature in the basin before you start the hydro-massage
system. Never fill the footbath with water that is above 104°F (40°C).
When Using the Hydro-Massage System:
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Always stand off to the side of the bodyjets when you turn on
the hydro-massage system. The stream of water can be very powerful.

If you wish to use the hydro-massage system after it has automatically shut down, simply step to
the side and press the power icon on the keypad to restart the system.
If you feel faint, dizzy or light-headed at any time while using your hydro-massage system,
immediately step out of the stream of water, turn off the unit by pressing the power key, and exit
the enclosure.

Using the Remote
The remote control places the user keypad functions at your fingertips to further enhance your
hydro-massage experience. The functions of the remote are identical to the user keypad. You may
turn the system on and off, turn the heater on and off, and increase or decrease the flow from the
bodyjets.
The waterproof remote control is designed to be used in the bath and will float in the water.
Two AAA batteries are used in the remote control. To replace, simply unscrew the end cap and
insert the batteries, as shown above. Tighten the end cap securely, making sure the end cap makes
contact with the seal.
Programming the Remote
IMPORTANT! Programming the remote control is required. Your whirlpool will not respond to any
remote control until you program the remote. If you replace the remote control, or replace the pump
control, it will be necessary to program the remote control.
Turn the whirlpool power on.
Turn off all modes of operation. Wait approximately one minute until the keypad darkens
completely (Sleep mode).
On the user keypad, press the UP arrow, DOWN arrow, and the ″Heater″icon simultaneously. The
bottom LED on the keypad’s indicator bar will begin flashing.
While the LED is flashing, press the ″Heater″icon on the keypad. A light sequence will illuminate
up and down the indicator bar.
While the indicator bar light sequence is active, press any button on the remote control. The keypad
will stop the light sequence, perform a download, and then darken. This user keypad will only
respond to this remote.
NOTE: If you do not press any of the buttons on the remote within two minutes the whirlpool will not
respond to the remote control.

this:

Add two teaspoons of low-foaming dishwasher detergent and 1/2 cup (115 ml) of household bleach
to the water.
Run the hydro-massage system for 5 to 10 minutes with all eight bodyjets running at the same time.
Turn off the system and drain the water.

the hydro-massage system for an additional 5 to 10 minutes with all eight bodyjets running. Drain
the basin and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Many cleaners contain harsh chemicals, such as ammonia, which can adversely affect the finish and
are not recommended.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or solvents on the unit.
Cleaning the Walls and Basin
Various wall and basin materials require different cleaners and cleaning methods. Follow the care,
cleaning and maintenance instructions furnished by the wall and basin material suppliers and
manufacturers.

Kohler does not recommend the use of harsh abrasive chemicals. Harsh cleansers will damage the
metal and glass finish on your door.

please contact the dealer where you purchased the door enclosure.
