Avo d R sks To Ch ldren:
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD DROWNING: Extreme care must be
exercised, to prevent unauthorized access by
children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children
cannot use the spa unless they are supervised at all
times. Always cover the spa and use safety locks.
WARNING: RISK OF CHILD INJURY: Do not permit children to use
the spa unless they are closely supervised at all
times. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for children. Children are especially
sensitive to hot water.
Avo d R sks of Electrocut on
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Install spa at least 5 feet
(1.5m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed
within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces when each
metal surface is permanently connected by a
minimum No. 6 AWG (10mm
2
) solid copper
conductor to the wire ground connector provided on
the terminal for this purpose. Do not permit any
electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone,
radio, or television within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa,
unless factory installed.
Connect all metal equipment, metal enclosures of
electrical equipment, metal water pipes, or conduits
to the provided ground connector with a minimum
No. 6 AWG (10 mm
2
) solid copper conductor.
Position your spa to provide proper drainage of the compartment
for electrical components. For floor-recessed spas, allow access for
servicing from above or below floor. Consideration should be
taken for water to splash out. Water can ruin wood floors and
some finishes.

•DO NOT use a wall switch, ground fault circuit interrupter,
circuit breaker, fuse, or plugging and unplugging the spa as a
means of turning your spa on or off for normal everyday use.
•DO NOT bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa,
with the exception of a space heater used for
winterizing/troubleshooting ONLY. Call 866-461-3123 for
instructions on this procedure.
•DO NOT operate any electrical appliances from inside the spa
or when you are wet unless such appliances are built-in by the
manufacturer.
Avo d R sks of Hypertherm a
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, the water temperature in
a spa should never exceed 40ºC (104ºF). Water
temperatures between 38ºC (100ºF) and 40ºC
(104ºF) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for
young children, senior citizens, and when spa use
exceeds 10 minutes.
WATER TE PERATURE IN EXCESS OF 38ºC AY BE
INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during early pregnancy, pregnant or
potentially pregnant women should limit water temperatures to
38ºC (100ºF). Before entering a spa, measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer. The tolerances of
water temperature-regulating devices vary.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body
reaches a level several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.6ºF (37ºC). The symptoms of hyperthermia
include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal
temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
•Unawareness of
impending hazard
•Failure to perceive
heat
•Failure to recognize
the need to exit spa
•Physical inability to
exit spa
•Fetal damage in
pregnant women
•Unconsciousness and
danger of drowning.

Avo d R sks of Burns
•Before entering a spa, measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of
temperature-regulating devices may vary by as much as
±5°F (2°C).
•Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to
be sure it’s comfortable.
For Spas Equ pped W th Aud o Components
Audio components are optional and not available on all models.
WARNING: Prevent Electrocut on: Do not connect any auxiliary
components – for example, cable, additional
speakers, headphones, etc., to the system.

damaged, please contact our 24/7 technical support line at
866-461-3123 for a replacement.
Bas c Safety Gu del nes
Your La-Z-Boy spa is meant to be enjoyable, healthful and relaxing.
Below are some basic safety guidelines to follow every time you
use your spa.
1) Always check the temperature of your spa before entering.
High water temperatures can be hazardous to your health.
2) Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low
blood pressure and pregnant women should consult a doctor
before using your spa.
3) Persons under the influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol
should not be allowed into your spa.
4) Do not allow children to use your spa without continuous
supervision of an adult.
5) Do not use your spa alone.
6) The GFCI breaker must be tested prior to using your spa each
time to ensure it operates properly.
7) Any electrical devices near your spa must be GFCI protected
and out of reach from inside the spa.
8) Keep all breakables away from the spa area.
9) Lock the cover on your spa when not in use.
10) Enter and exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be slippery.
11) Prolonged immersion can be hazardous to your health.
12) aintain water chemistry in accordance with manufacturer’s

L o c a t o n a n d I n s t a l l a t o n
Proper planning is an important consideration when installing your
new spa. Site selection is a critical step and requires serious
thought. Planning ahead makes the installation process easier. The
following information is provided to assist you in site preparations.
1) Always comply with local building codes and obtain any
necessary permits. You may also need to consult with an
engineer to address your specific design needs.
2) Contact an electrician to assess your electrical needs, install
wiring, and assure a safe operation.
3) Position your spa with proper access to water, drainage, and
electricity.
4) Place your spa on a uniform solid, flat surface designed to
properly support its weight. For external installations, a 4-inch
(10 cm) thick cement pad suffices.
5) For internal installations, check the load carrying capabilities of
the floor on which the spa will reside. ost homes meet the
requirement of 80 pounds per square foot.
6) Assure that your spa will fit into the space you have chosen
and the delivery route will accommodate its large size.
7) Provide adequate ventilation for the humidity created by your
spa. In most cases, a Spa Hard Cover is sufficient.
8) Protect the pump and all equipment from the weather by
ensuring the cabinet panels are secure at all times.
9) Allow 36 inches (1 meter) of unobstructed access to all sides of
your spa for normal servicing. Your spa is not designed to be
recessed in the ground or in a deck.

Our spas are certified by Intertek Testing, SNAa Ltd.
Ontario à CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 218.1- 89 and
ANSI/UL 1563.
Parts with extra low voltage not exceeding 12v must be
inaccessible to a person in the spa. Earthed appliances must be
permanently connected to fixed wiring. Parts incorporating
electrical components must be located or fixed so that they
cannot fall into the spa.
eans for disconnection must be used in fixed wiring in
accordance with wiring rules.
Important – To allow the GFCI to function properly, connect the
white Neutral wire from the spa to the Neutral terminal on the GFCI
breaker, not the Neutral bus in the GFCI breaker box. An
improperly connected Neutral causes the GFCI breaker to trip.

S t a r t u p
Important – Read these step-by-step startup procedures before
starting your spa. Failure to follow any of these steps listed may
result in damage to the equipment and may void your warranty.
Spec al Note: If you are unsure of any of the above startup
procedures, please call the 24/7 technical support line at
866-461-3123. For best results, read each step in its entirety before
proceeding.
Caut on: Running the spa pump dry (without water running
through it) can cause I EDIATE damage and will
void the warranty! Be sure that the spa is installed
properly in accordance with the instructions in this
manual.
Refer to the following picture for an explanation of your spa’s
controls, components, and technical terms. Note that not all
models have all features and components.

15
Before Add ng Water
Before adding water, go through these simple steps now to
prevent common issues when setting up your spa for the first time.
Verify that the following have all been rechecked.
1. Turn off all power to the spa at the main breaker panel.
2. Open the side panels to access the internal components.
3. Check that all slide valves are opened (T-handles
pulled out) to the heater and all pumps.
4. Check that there are no obvious signs of loose
wires or broken pipes.
5. Check that the two heater unions are tight. These are hand-
tightened and do not need any kind of special tool to tighten
them.
Caut on: Do not use a wrench. Over-tightening may cause
damage to unions and gaskets, which will not be
covered under warranty.
6. Check that the unions on all pumps are tight.
7. Clean out any foreign debris from within the service access
area or inside of the spa itself.
8. With the drain open and filters removed, thoroughly rinse out
the spa with warm water until the drained water runs clear. Run
water through the filtration canister and jet lines to remove any
incidental dust, dirt, and debris that may have accumulated
during shipment or installation. Drain all water completely.
9. ake sure that the spa drain valve is closed and the cap is on
tight (see page 36).
10. Install the filter(s) in the filtration canister.
11. Check that all of the spa jets are open (turned full counter-
clockwise).
12. Now is the best time to clean and polish the surfaces of your
spa (see pages 37-38).

16
F ll ng Your Spa
Now it's time to fill your spa with water. Do not turn
on the electricity yet until the spa is completely
filled. To properly fill your spa:
1. ake sure that the filters (in the filtration
canister) are gently screwed into place. Turn
them clockwise until they stop being careful
not to over-tighten them (this avoids cracking
the filter).
2. Connect a standard garden hose to a faucet with regular cold
tap water (not softened water or hot water).
Caut on: The water from your hot water tank should not be used
to fill the spa.
3. Put the AquaClara pre-filter (if equipped) on the other end of
the hose, turn on the water, and allow any sediment to be
flushed out.
4. Put the AquaClara pre-filter (if equipped) into the filtration
canister and turn on the hose.
Important: To assure that the pump is properly primed, f ll the
spa through the f lter area only.
5. Fill the spa until the water level is about 1” above all jets (or
about ½” below the pillow). Do not over fill.
Note: Every person entering a spa displaces a given volume of
water, so adjust water level to the number of people regularly
using the spa.
Turn off the hose and check again for any small leaks.
Start-up Instruct ons
Caut on: Do not turn on any pump until your spa is properly filled
with water. Running any pump without water in your
spa can cause I EDIATE damage, which is not
covered under warranty!
By now you have rechecked your spa’s mechanical connections
and filled it with water to about 1” above all jets by adding cold
tap water (if equipped) through the pre-filter. Turn on power to the
spa at the main breaker panel and test the operation of the
electrical system. If you encounter a problem, please reference
the troubleshooting guide.

17
1. Turn on the breaker and test the operation of the Ground-Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breaker by pushing the small button.
This should automatically trip the spa's circuit breaker.
DANGER: If this breaker does not trip, immediately call your
electrician. Do not use your spa!
Only if pushing this button successfully trips this circuit breaker
should you reset this breaker and proceed to the next step.
2. Go to the topside control
panel and look at the
display. The system goes
through a startup
sequence after which the
circulation pump starts
and the panel displays
the current water
temperature.
3. Press the Pump 1 button . You should hear the first pump
turn on, see water circulating in the spa, and see the icon swirl
on the display.
4. Press the Pump 1 button again. You should hear the first pump
turn on a higher speed and the icon swirl faster.
Caut on: If water does not flow from the jets after 2 minutes,
turn power off at the main panel and bleed air
from the system (see page 31). Turn power on
again. Sometimes momentarily turning a pump
off/on will prime it. Only do this four times.
5. If the water is running smoothly through the lines, open the air
control valve and you should see an increase in jet pressure.
Check and adjust the water/ airflow of every jet if necessary.
Each jet in your spa can be adjusted for massage intensity and
directional flow. Turn the outer jet dial counterclockwise to
increase the water volume and clockwise to turn it off. Pivot
the angle of a jet to achieve an optimal massage.
Adding an air mixture intensifies the level of your massage. Turn
the air control valve counterclockwise to increase the air
mixture and clockwise to turn it off.
To minimize heat loss, close the air control valve when your spa
is not in use.

18
6. Press the Pump 1 button a third time to turn Pump 1 off. A built-
in timer automatically turns Pump 1 off after 20 minutes, unless
the pump manually has been deactivated first.
7. Press the Pump 2 button . If Pump 2 has not primed after
3 minutes repeat same priming procedure of step 3 above for
Pump 1. Check and adjust the water and airflow of every jet
from Pump 2 if necessary.
8. Press the Pump 2 button a second time to turn off Pump 2. A
built-in timer automatically turns Pump 2 off after 20 minutes,
unless the pump manually has been deactivated first.
9. Press the Light button to turn the spa Light on. Press this
button again to cycle through the five colors (red, blue, green,
white, and yellow). Once a desired color is found, pressing this
button again stays on this color.
10. Press the Light button again to turn the spa Light off. A built-in
timer automatically turns the spa Light off after two hours,
unless the spa Light manually has been deactivated first.
11. Press the Next Page button .
12. Press the Blower button to turn on the air blower (if
equipped). Check that air goes to the air jets on the bottom of
each seat.
13. Press the Blower button again to turn the Blower off. A built-in
timer automatically turns the Blower off after 20 minutes.
Note: When temperature limits allow, a circulation pump and
ozone generator run continuously to help keep your water clean.
