IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not permit children to use this unit unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the
bath.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electric appliances (such as a hair dryer, lamp,
telephone, radio, or television) within 5' (1.5 m) of this bath with airjets.
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs
when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal
temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia
include: (a) failure to perceive heat, (b) failure to recognize the need to exit the bath, (c)
unawareness of impending hazard, (d) fetal damage in pregnant women, (e) physical inability to
exit the bath, and (f) unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
An equipment grounding terminal is provided in the field wiring compartment. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply panel with a
conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this bath with airjets.
A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the blower motor or control within this unit to
permit connection of a bonding conductor between this unit and all other exposed metal in the vicinity, as
needed to comply with local requirements.
Use this bath with airjets only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments
not recommended by Kohler Company.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
The bath must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
(GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). Such a GFCI or RCD should be provided by the installer and
should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI or RCD, press the test button. The GFCI or RCD should
interrupt power. Press the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI or RCD fails to operate in this
manner, the GFCI or RCD is defective. If the GFCI or RCD interrupts power to the bath without the test
button being pressed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use
this bath. Disconnect the bath and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before
using.
Do not allow the water temperature in the bath with airjets to exceed 104°F (40°C).
Hydro-massage action can cause even a small amount of bubble bath, bath soap, shampoo, or bath oil to
foam excessively. For this reason, please do not use these products during blower operation.
Your new Kohler bath with airjets has been listed by Underwriter's Laboratories, thus ensuring safety for
you and your family. Your new bath also conforms to rigid ANSI and IAPMO standards set within the
plumbing industry.
