When installing and using this product, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
- The spa must be supplied through an isolating transformer or supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
- The pump must be tested before each use, to test follow the pump's instructions.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use an extension cord to connect the unit to power, provide a properly located outlet.
- No electrical devices, including parts of the spa, are to be located above the spa during use.
- Devices containing live parts must be inaccessible to people in the spa. Parts incorporating electrical components, except remote control devices, must be located or fixed so that they cannot fall into the spa pool.
- The plug of the pump shall be more than 3.5m away from the spa.
- It is necessary to have the plug accessible after installation of the spa.
- TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE SPA WHEN IT IS RAINING.
- Never wear your contact lenses when in your spa.
- Do not use the spa during chemical maintenance.
- The power source on the wall of the building should be more than 4m away from the pool and at a height of at least 1.2m.
- Extension cords can’t be used.
- Don’t plug or unplug the appliance if your hand is wet.
- Always unplug the appliance:
- On rainy days
- Before cleaning or other maintenance
- When leaving the spa unattended on holidays
WARNING: Always keep the plug dry, never use a wet plug!
- Cleaning and user maintenance must be performed by an adult above 18 years old who is familiar with the risk of electric shock;
- When the appliance will be not used for a long time, such as in the winter, the spa or pool set should be disassembled and stored indoor.
- Caution - Read the instruction before using the appliance and installation or reassemble every time
- Warning: For electric safety, a leakage current detecting device is incorporated in the power cord, if the leakage current is detected more than 10mA, the device will operate and cut-off the power supply, in such case, please unplug and stop using the spa immediately. Don't reset the product by yourself. Contact Kogan.com support.
- The appliance must be connected to an earthed power source.
- WARNING - This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Water attracts children; always attach a spa cover after each use.
- Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimise abuse from lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
- Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorised access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children can not use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.
- RISK OF INJURY. Never operate a spa if the inlet/outlet pipes are broken or missing. Never attempt to replace the inlet/outlet pipes. Always consult your local After-sales centre.
- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Install at least 2m from all metal surfaces.
- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Never operate any electrical appliance when in your spa or when your body is wet. Never place any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 2m of the spa.
- During pregnancy, soaking in hot water may cause damage to the fetus. Limit use to 10 minutes at a time.
- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
- The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperature between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F) is considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
- Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperature to 38°(100°F).
- Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature regulating device varies.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. - Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: Never pour water with a temperature higher than 40°C (104°F) into the spa pool directly.
- The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level that is several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub; unawareness of impending hazard, fetal damage in pregnant women; physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub, and unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
- Electric installations should follow national wiring rules, consult a qualified electrician with any questions.
CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.
CAUTION:
- The spa should not be set up or left out in temperature lower than 4°C (40°F).
- Do not use the spa alone.
- People with infectious diseases should not use a spa.
- Do not use the spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
- Always enter and exit the spa slowly and cautiously. Wet surfaces are slippery.
- To avoid damage to the pump, the spa must never be operated unless the spa is filled with water.
Immediately leave the spa if the user feels uncomfortable or sleepy. - Never add water to chemicals. Always add chemicals to the water to avoid strong fumes or violent reactions that may result in a hazardous chemical spray.
- Regarding the information pertaining to cleaning, maintenance of water, and disposal of water, please see section "MAINTENANCE".
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off.
After using your spa for 3-5 years, you should contact your local qualified maintenance technician to ensure the safety and performance of the spa. The main components, such as heating element, air blower motor and non-return valves within the electric unit should be checked and replaced (if necessary) by professionals.

Installation
WARNING: The selected location has to be capable of supporting the expected load.
WARNING: An adequate drainage system has to be provided to deal with overflow water for both indoor and outdoor installations. IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the Lay-Z-Spa, water, and users, it is extremely important that the base where the Lay-Z-Spa is installed is smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting the weight for the entire time the Lay-Z-Spa is installed (not on the carpet or other similar material). If the Lay-Z-Spa is placed on a surface, which does not meet these requirements, any damage caused by improper support is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. It is the responsibility of the Lay-Z-Spa owner to assure the integrity of the site at all times.
1. Indoor Installation
Be aware of special requirements if you install the spa indoors.
- Humidity is a natural side effect with Lay-Z-Spa installation. Determine the effects of airborne moisture on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the proposed location. To minimise these effects it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the selected area. An architect can help determine if more ventilation is needed.
2. Outdoor Installation
- During filling, draining or when in use, water may flow out of the spa. Therefore the Lay-Z-Spa should be installed near a floor drain.
- Do not leave the spa's surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Cleaning & Care
NOTE: Your spa will require additional air to be added from time to time. Changes in temperature from day to night will change the pressure in the spa and may cause a certain amount of deflation. Please follow the Assembly instructions and drain the spa before inflating to the accurate pressure needed.
CAUTION: YOU MUST ENSURE THE PUMP IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE BEGINNING SPA MAINTENANCE TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.
Filter Cartridge Maintenance
NOTE: To ensure your spa water stays clean, check and clean your filter cartridges every day follow the steps below.
NOTE: We recommend changing your filter cartridges every week or, if the filter cartridges remain soiled and discoloured, they should be replaced.
Water Maintenance
Keeping your SPA water clean and chemically balanced is necessary. Simply cleaning the filter cartridge is not enough for proper maintenance, we recommend you use pool chemicals to maintain water chemistry and chlorine or bromine tablets (do not use granules) with the chemical floater. As a guide, the water should be changed about every 3 days. This is only a guide, water quality is influenced by the frequency of use, persons using the spa and general maintenance.
Note: We recommend you take a shower before using your Lay-Z-Spa, as cosmetic products, lotions, and other residues on the skin can quickly degrade water quality. To use the chemical floater, please follow the below instruction.
Using chemical tablets (not included):
Using chemical liquid (not included):
NOTE: Remove the chemical floater from the spa when the spa is in use.
IMPORTANT: After performing chemical maintenance and before using the spa, use a test kit (not included) to test the water chemistry. We recommend maintaining your water as the table below.
|
pH |
Total Alkalinity |
Free Chlorine |
|
7.4-7.6 |
80-120 ppm |
2-4 ppm |
NOTE: Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty. Pool chemicals are potentially toxic and should be handled with care. There are serious health risks from chemical vapours and the incorrect labelling and storage of chemical containers. Please consult your local pool supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the chemical manufacturer's instructions. Spa damage resulting from the misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of spa water is not covered under warranty.

- Clean the area to be repaired.
- Carefully peel the patch.
- Press patch over area to be repaired.
- Wait 30 seconds before inflation.
Lay-Z-Spa Storage
Make sure the spa and pump are completely dry. This is essential to extend the life of the spa. We recommend using the pump to blow dry the spa, pump and pipes. Remove the filter sets and discard the used filter cartridges. Re-attach the two stopper caps onto the spa’s inlet and outlet valves. It is recommended you store the spa in its original package in a warm dry place.
