RESERVIOR, ALL PACKAGING MATERIAL AND INFORMATION LABELS. Place unit
in a WELL VENTILATED AREA ON A HEAT RESISTANT SURFACE.
Turn the Temperature Control full counter-clockwise and plug the SPA PROTM into a suitable
120 volt AC outlet.
Turn the Temperature Control to the “Preheat” setting and allow the SPA PROTM to operate
for approximately 60 minutes, or until any odor or smoking disappear.
Some smoke and odor are a normal part of curing the heating element and will not occur
again during normal spa use.
When curing is completed, turn the Temperature Control full counter-clockwise to turn the
appliance off, unplug SPA PROTM from wall outlet and allow unit to cool.
Wash all stones before each use.
Place a hand towel on the bottom of the SPA PROTM water reservoir. Place all stones on
top of the towel.
Before plugging appliance into outlet, add sufficient water, fill the water reservoir to just
above the stones or fill to maximum capacity, but no more that 1-inch below the top rim.
Turn the Temperature Control full counter clockwise. Place Cover on appliance.
Plug power cord into a standard 120 VAC grounded outlet. Turn the Temperature Control to
“Preheat” position for about 20 to 30 minutes to speed warm up time. When the water
reaches the desired temperature, turn the Temperature Control to the “Operating
Range” to maintain the proper temperature.
Use an accurate thermometer to measure water temperature in the Water Reservoir to
ensure that stones are at a proper therapeutic temperature. Consult a professional
therapist for correct stone temperatures if you are unsure.
Model 4418 (18 qt version) only: The Indicator Lamp cycles off and on with the heating
element. The element is heating when the lamp is on.

clockwise to turn unit off. Always unplug appliance when not in use.
Do not drop stones into the SPA PROTM heating unit. This may damage the appliance.
