Safety & Use
Pay attention to the following 5 safety aspects
when using the Dutchtub:
1. Fire
- The Dutchtub is a wood-fired tub. Always
consider the dangers of open fires.
2. Water
- Make sure that the heating coil is always fully
filled with water when lighting a fire in the
heating system. Always check if the fire is
extinguished before draining the Dutchtub.
If not, the heating coil will be damaged.
- Drain the Dutchtub after each use because of
the dangers of bacteria growth and frost risks
during the winter.
3. Temperature
- The Dutchtub water temperature should not
exceed 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees
Fahrenheit). The tub has no thermal cut-out.
Refer to page 12 for more information on
temperature control.
4. Installing and moving
- Never move a Dutchtub filled with water.
- Always place the tub on a solid surface with a
min. load-bearing capacity of 1275 kg (Dutch-
tub 75 kg, water 800 kg, 5 persons 400 kg).
Consider the fact that the surface could melt.
Warm water splashing over the edge of the tub,
for instance, can cause snow to melt, resulting
in the tub tipping over.
- When installing the Dutchtub, always observe
the direction of the wind. Do not place the heat-
ing coil in the direction of the wind.
- Do not use the Dutchtub indoors.
- Do not use the Dutchtub underneath a shelter.
5. Surroundings
- Before using the tub, think about what you
want to do with the water drained from the tub
(directly from the Dutchtub of by using a garden
hose).
- The Dutchtub is ecologically sound if wood with
the proper certificates is used.
