Operating Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

DANGER: Risk of personal injury. To reduce the risk of 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

whirlpool.

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 whirlpool.

WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia. People using medications and/or having an adverse medical

history should consult a physician before using a whirlpool equipped with a heater.

Use this whirlpool only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not

recommended by the manufacturer.

Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

Do not operate this unit without the guard (cover) over the suction ﬁtting.

The whirlpool must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground-Fault

Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Earth-Leakage Circuit-Breaker (ELCB). Such a GFCI or ELCB should be

provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI or ELCB, press the test

button. The GFCI or ELCB should interrupt power. Press the reset button. Power should be restored. If the

GFCI or ELCB fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI or ELCB is defective. If the GFCI or ELCB 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 whirlpool bath. Disconnect the whirlpool and have the

problem corrected by a qualiﬁed service representative before using.

NOTE: If the pump supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or

similarly qualiﬁed persons in order to avoid a hazard. The heater supply cord cannot be replaced. If the

cord is damaged the heater should be scrapped.

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.

IMPORTANT! Flush your whirlpool system twice a month or more depending upon usage, as described

in cleaning instructions in this manual.

Do not allow the water temperature in the whirlpool to exceed 104°F (40°C).

Keep small objects such as bath toys and bathing accessories out of the whirlpool while the unit is running.

Operating Instructions (cont.)

Repeated use of personal care products containing oils can damage plastic whirlpool components. Do not use

heavy, vegetable-based shampoos or bath oils.

Whirlpool 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 don’t use these products during whirlpool operation.

Your new Kohler whirlpool has been listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories, ensuring safety for you and your

family. This whirlpool also conforms to rigid ANSI and IAPMO standards set within the plumbing industry.

and beauty of your Kohler product will surpass your highest expectations. We’re very proud of our products

here at Kohler and we know you will be too.

instructions.

All information in this manual is based upon the latest product information available at the time of

publication. At Kohler, we constantly strive to improve the quality of our products. We reserve the right to

make changes in product characteristics, packaging or availability at any time without notice.

Your Kohler Whirlpool

Your new whirlpool is designed to stimulate, invigorate, and energize your body with comforting

hydro-massage therapy. The whirlpool consists of the following components:

•Bath - acts as a reservoir for water, and provides a location for the hydro-massage action.

•Air Actuator Control - located within easy reach, the air actuator control turns the whilrpool on and

off through the activation of a reliable sensing device.

•Pump Motor - provides quiet power to circulate the water and create the soothing hydro-massage

action.

•Adjustable Jets - positioned to optimize their hydro-massage effect, the jets allow you to adjust the

air and water ﬂow and control the ﬂow direction as you desire.

Your whirlpool may also include the following features:

•Heater, ″H″models only (available in most markets) - designed to automatically help maintain the

temperature of the water up to 104°F (40°C) to enhance your hydro-massage experience. The heater

turns on automatically when the whirlpool is running, and turns off when the pump motor is

turned off.

•Timer Kit (available as an optional accessory) - automatically stops the pump after about 20

minutes of continuous whirlpool operation.

•Integral or Removable Apron (available on select models) - designed to complement the style and

contours of your whirlpool. The whirlpool apron also provides easy frontside access to the pump

and controls in case servicing is necessary.

Kohler Co. 3 1010564-5-J

Operating Your Whirlpool

Position the jet nozzles so they face down toward the basin. Turn the jet trim rings fully

counterclockwise.

NOTE: The water temperature in the whirlpool should never exceed 104°F (40°C).

Close the drain, and ﬁll the whirlpool to a level at least 2” (5.1 cm) above the top of the highest jet.

Use your hand to test the water temperature for comfort and safety, then carefully enter the bath

basin.

Press the air actuator to turn on the whirlpool.

NOTE: If equipped, the heater will also turn on.

Adjust the jets for optimum air/water mixture. Turn the jet trim rings clockwise to reduce the ﬂow,

and counterclockwise to increase the ﬂow. Position the jet nozzles to direct the water ﬂow as desired

to maximize your hydro-massage experience.

Press the air actuator a second time to turn off the whirlpool.

Carefully exit the bath, and open the drain to empty the whirlpool.

NOTE: If your whirlpool includes an optional timer kit, the whirlpool will turn off after approximately 20

minutes of continuous operation. You can then restart the whirlpool if you desire by pressing the air

actuator.

NOTE: If the whirlpool does not function properly, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Cleaning Your Whirlpool
