Important Information

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 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 whirlpool bath. Disconnect the whirlpool and have the problem corrected by a

qualiﬁed service representative before using.

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 the ″Flushing Your Whirlpool System″section of 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.

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 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.

User Keypad - Located within easy reach, the keypad allows you to turn the whirlpool and heater

on and off and regulate the water ﬂow through the jets.

Pump Motor - Provides quiet, variable speed 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.

Heater - 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

operating, and turns off when the pump motor is turned off. The heater may be turned off, through

the keypad, at any time while the pump is operating.

Operating Your Whirlpool

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

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.

Press Power to turn on the whirlpool. The whirlpool will start at medium volume. The heater will

also turn on and the heater icon will illuminate.

Increase or decrease the water ﬂow by pressing the up or down arrows on the keypad. An indicator

bar in the center of the keypad shows the water ﬂow volume.

Adjust the jets for optimum air/water mixture. Turn the jet trim 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.

The heater turns on automatically when the whirlpool is operating, and turns off when the pump

motor is turned off. The heater may be turned off, through the keypad, at anytime while the pump

is operating.

Press Power a second time to turn off the whirlpool.

Troubleshooting Procedures

Remove the Jets

NOTE: A special tool is provided with the jets that will allow you to remove them from the whirlpool.

This tool is also supplied with each trim kit.

Position the jet ball nozzle so it is pointing upward.

NOTE: The nozzle must remain pointed up or the tool will slip off.

Insert the removal tool, hooked end up, into the opening of the jet and hook the inside top of the

nozzle.

Grasp the tool ﬁrmly and place your thumb against the whirlpool wall. Pull steadily on the tool

until the jet assembly pulls free of the hole. Be careful not to lose the O-ring.

Reinstall the Jets

NOTE: The jet O-ring must be correctly positioned, must be lubricated, and must be in good condition to

permit easy rotation and proper operation of the jet.

Install the O-ring onto the ﬁrst shoulder of the jet. Lubricate the O-ring with silicone lubricant to

prevent noisy operation of the jet.

Carefully insert the jet into the housing, and lightly push and rotate the jet until it snaps into

position. Do not force the jet.

NOTE: When installed correctly, the jet should turn smoothly both clockwise and counterclockwise.
