ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

DANGER: Risk of severe injury from electric shock or death by electrocution. This bath must be must be connected directly to a dedicated

120V 20 amp supply circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) installed by a qualified, licensed electrician in accordance with national electric and local codes and the GFCI manufacturer’s instructions. The GFCI should be tested regularly. To test the GFCI, push the “TEST” button. The GFCI should interrupt the power supply to the outlet. Push the “RESET” button and the power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, it is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power without pressing the “TEST” button, a ground current is flowing indicating the possibility of electric shock exists. DO NOT USE. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified licensed electrician before using.

The GFCI is not included with the bath. The circuit must be a (3) three-wire circuit hard wired from the main power supply. Install the outlet on the stud wall at least 4” above the floor. Your bath is equipped with a 36” cord with a grounded plug on the pump. Do not remove the grounding pin or alter the cord in any way.

Important: Unauthorized modification may cause unsafe operation and poor performance. Moving components or making modifications may adversely affect performance and make operation unsafe. Signature Bath shall not be liable under its warranty of otherwise for personal injury or damage that is the result of unauthorized modification.

Important: Risk of overheating. Cord must be plugged directly into the GFCI. Do not use an extension cord or surge protector.
