Cleanup

To avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the bathtub, never use abrasive cleaners. For most soiled surfaces, a

mildliquiddetergentandwarmwaterissufcient.Thefollowingisalsorecommended:

•

Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Spots left by plaster or grout can be removed if lightly rubbed

with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes or other metal tools, as they

will damage the bathtub’s surface.

•

Paint,tar,orotherdifcultstainscanberemovedwithFantastik®orsoapywater.

•

Minorscratcheswhichdonotpenetratethecolornishcanberemovedbylightlysandingwith600-gritwet/dry

General Operation Information

All bathtubs manufactured by Jacuzzi Luxury Bath are designed

for“llanddrain,”whichmeansthebathtubshouldbedrained

aftereachuseandlledwithfreshwaterbythenextbather.This

is a health precaution, as these bathtubs are not designed to hold

water continuously like pools or spas.

Closethedrainandllthebathtubuntilwaterisatleast1˝to2˝

(25mm to 51mm) above the highest jet (see water line indicated in

the illustration - Figure 11). Do not turn on the whirlpool system at

any time if the jets are not completely immersed in water. Running

thewhirlpoolsystemwhenthereisinsufcientwaterinthebathtub

could result in water spraying outside the bath area. Running

the whirlpool system without water will damage the recirculating

pump.

NOTE

When exiting the bathtub, the water level will drop below the jets which could result in water

being sprayed out of the unit. To prevent this, you must turn unit OFF before exiting bathtub.
