WARNING: RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA (OVER-HEATING)
CAUSING SEVERE INJURY, BURNS, WELTS OR DEATH!
• Water temperature in excess of 104°F (40°C) may be injurious to
your health.
• Refer to Section 3.2 Hyperthermia for specic causes and symptoms
of this condition.
• The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water
temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are
considered safe for a healthy adult.
• Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children
(children are especially sensitive to hot water) and when spa use
may exceed 10 minutes.
• The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has stated that the
water temperature in a spa should not exceed 104°F (40°C).
• Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa.
The user should measure the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating
devices may vary as much as +/- 5°F (2°C).
