Jacuzzi J-CARRE Owner's Manual - Electrical Requirements
Installation & Operating Instuctions
Electrical requirements
Your J-Carré, as it comes from the factory, requires a GFCI 240 VAC15 AMP 3-wire circuit (2 conductor with ground) for single
(1) phase electrical service and must be in a separate circuit having no other appliance connected in that circuit. If you do
not have this kind of circuit, a qualified electrician should be called in to install the necessary wiring. Inadequately sized wiring
or locating the unit too far from the main service panel may cause a voltage drop. A drop in voltage can cause the unit to
malfunction and bring about permanent damage to the shower's electrical system. The circuit ground wire must be provided
to take advantage of the designed-in safety features of the J-Carré. Bond according to procedure described in instructions.
Caution: Without proper grounding and bonding, a system malfunction may cause fatal shock.
Electrical precautions
Lighting and electrical receptacles must be located at least 5 ft. (1.5m) from the J-Carré. Lighting located between 5 ft. and
10 ft. (1.5m and 3m) from the J-Carré must be on a circuit protected by a GFCI. Do not use electrically connected devices,
such as television, radio, telephones, stereo speakers, lights or cooking devices within 5 feet of the J-Carré while it is in
use.
Ventilation
Water which drips on the floor during exit from the J-Carré may cause a walking hazard and/or structural damage unless
proper waterproof building materials are used in the area surrounding the unit. Take into consideration, also, the high room
humidity which will exist due to use of the steamer. Providing natural or forced ventilation of the room will help maintain
comfort and minimize moisture damage to the building. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damages resulting from
excess moisture or water spillage. Consult an architect or engineer for aid in designing your installation.
Maintenance
Cleaning the J-Carré
To clean your J-Carré, simply use a mild nonabrasive liquid detergent or commercially prepared bathtub cleaners. Do not
use abrasive cleaners. You can protect and restore the gloss to a dulled surface by applying a plastic polish specifically
designed for use on acrylic finishes (methylmethacrylate). If an acrylic polish is not available, an automotive paste wax will
do.
Repairs to the surface
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish (acrylic) can be removed with 600-grit wet/dry sandpaper. Restore
the glossy finish with an acrylic polish or a comparable automotive paste wax.
Major scratches or gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface will require refinishing. Ask your dealer for special
instructions.
Inspection and Shipping Claim
Check for shipping damage upon receipt of the J-Carré. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damage
to the J-Carré sustained during shipping. If damage is evident before unpacking, see instructions regarding
shipping claims on the outside of the carton and immediately file a claim with the carrier.
Once the J-Carré has been removed from the carton and before it is permanently installed, check the parts
completely for damage resulting from shipping or handling. All Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath products are factory tested
for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. If problems are detected, immediately notify your
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer or Authorized Service Agent, or call Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath, (800) 288-4002 or (510)
938-7070, for Warranty Service. (U.S.A. only)
NOTE: Damage or defects which could have been discovered and repaired prior to installation and
which are claimed after final installation of the J-Dream, are excluded from our warranty.
