INSTRUCTIONS Prior to Use WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed including the following: 1) IMPORTANT: Read complete instructions before use. Each Pipeless Whirlpool Foot Bath arrives ready for use. 2) This unit requires a 115 volt, 60 Hertz, 2 Amp service and is provided with a 10 cord with an integral Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and NEMA 5-15P electrical plug. A grounded electrical outlet is required. 3) Remove the foot bath from the carton and retain the shipping carton and packing material to reuse in case service becomes necessary. DO NOT lift the foot bath by its handle or electrical cord. 3) Immediately upon receipt, inspect the entire unit for any obvious damage BEFORE using. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the finish, do not use the foot bath. SANIJET Corporation s responsibility for shipping damage ceases upon delivery of the product in good order to the carrier. Refer any claim for damage to the carrier. 4) All foot bath units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. Note: Prior to use, the foot bath must be filled with water and operated to check for leaks that may have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This unit must be grounded. The integral GFCI should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground fault, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT USE THE UNIT. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative or an electrician before using. 5
HOW TO USE 1. Fill the unit with water at the desired temperature above the jets to the water level indicator. A fill hose with a connector to attach to a typical sink spout is included or the unit can be filled with the use of a container. 2. Move the unit to the place where it will be used and be sure that it is on a level, solid floor. Note: The front two casters have locking mechanisms to prevent the unit from moving during use. Be sure the locking mechanisms are disengaged before attempting to move the unit. A handle is built into the top of the unit for easy maneuverability. Before moving the unit filled with water, place the two removable lids on the tank to prevent water from splashing onto the floor. (See Illustration #1.) Illustration #1 3. Plug the unit into a grounded electrical outlet. 4. To activate or deactivate this appliance, press the ON/OFF button. 5. Bath additives (including oil based products) can be used in a SANIJET Pipeless Foot Bath, since their residue can be easily cleaned. CAUTION: Use only low foaming additives. 6. You should always be in a seated position when putting your feet in or removing them from the foot bath. WARNING: NEVER STAND IN THE FOOT BATH. 7. During use of the foot bath the front lid can be used as a foot rest as well as assist in maintaining water temperature and reduce splashing. 6
HOW TO DRAIN AND CLEAN To maintain your SANIJET Pipeless Whirlpool Foot Bath at a maximum level of hygiene, thoroughly clean the tub shell and jets after each use with a nonabrasive antibacterial cleaner, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. See page 8 for complete cleaning procedure. NEVER use abrasive cleaners on the foot bath. Procedure to Drain the Foot Bath: 1. Turn off the foot bath by pushing the ON/OFF button. 2. Unplug the foot bath from the electrical outlet and store the cord. 3. Put both removable lids on the tank before moving the foot bath to the area where the tank will be drained and then remove the lids. 4. Place the Discharge Pump on the flat round surface in the bottom of the foot bath. (See Illustration #2) Illustration #2 5. Extend the hose connected to the Discharge Pump to the area where the water is to be drained (sink). Use the suction cup provided to secure the hose to the side of the sink and turn on the discharge pump by plugging the pump s power cord into a grounded circuit. (See Illustration #3) 6. When the foot bath appears to be empty, continue running the pump while removing it from the interior of the foot bath and place it in the sink or chosen draining area. As soon as the pump and hose are both fully in the sink unplug the power cord to turn off the discharge pump. Fresh water can be used to rinse out the tank during the draining procedure. (See Illustration #3.) **Do not leave the pump running in the draining area or in a dry foot bath for more than a few seconds because it may result in damage to the discharge pump. **The power cord cannot be replaced; in case of any damage to the power cord the entire discharge pump must be replaced.
