Framing and Support
The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor.
The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of approximately 94 lb/sq. ft. (bath,
water, and bather). If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the bath.
Ifthesubfloorisnotlevel,youMUSTleveltheentiresurfacepriortoinstallingthebath. (Useafloorlevelingcompound.)
Do not level bath with mortar. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
Before final setting of the bath, route the steam hoses from under the shell through the cutout in the rim. Unwind the
speaker wires from under the bath rim on both sides. When final setting, the speaker wires must be routed under the
1x4.
For units with TV, unwind audio cables, fan and TV power cords.

Finished Walls
Before fixing the bath in place, make sure the finished walls above the rim of the bath are perpendicular. The two wall
extrusions at the edges of the fixed panels will allow some compensation for walls out of true less than 3/16". (See
fixed panels installation for wall extrusions.) If that is the case, the bath may be placed against the finished walls. If
more than 3/16", shims will be necessary and the bath moved away from the wall an appropriate distance. When final
setting of the bath, secure the metal straps attached to the bath to the floor with screws or anchors.

Skirt Installation
It is necessary to mount the skirt shell clips on the factory installed wood blocks located along the underside of the
rim. Mark hole locations on the blocks using clips as a template for correct hole spacing. Then drill a pilot hole 1/2"
deep using a 3/32" diameter drill. Use caution to avoid drilling through the bath rim. Secure the clips to the wooden
blocks as shown.

Using a square or level, determine the location of the vertical drop from the bath rim at both ends and the center of
the bath. Locate the center wood block (provided) at the appropriate distance from the vertical drop, centering it
lengthwise with relation to the rim of the bath. The faces of the side blocks (provided) will be oriented along a line
from the center vertical drop point to the end vertical drop point. The blocks can be screwed, nailed or adhered with
adhesive to the floor. Make sure the finished sides of blocks are outward. Glue the skirt blade (1-1/2" x 79-3/4" white
acrylic strip) to the front of the wooden blocks.
Before attaching skirt, locate the CD/radio speaker and power connectors coiled under the bath rim. Uncoil and
connect the speaker and power connectors to the CD/radio. Also locate the green ground wire and connect to the
chassis of the CD /radio.
Slip the skirt up between the rim and the shell clips. While holding the skirt at the bottom, move it inward toward the
bath. Lift it up so there is 1/2" gap between the floor and the bottom of the skirt. While using shims to hold the skirt
up, attach the skirt to the skirt blade and wooden blocks with screws through the predrilled holes.

Service Access
The skirt fits along the front of the bath and is an access panel for servicing. Allow a space of at least 8 inches away
from the bath for skirt removal. To remove the skirt, remove the screws at the bottom of the skirt and withdraw the
skirt.
Bath Electrical Connections
A separate circuit, which must be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), is required. Install a duplex
outlet (not provided) to the studwall underneath the bathtub, at least 4 inches above the floor.
CAUTION: Operating the motor/pump without enough water in the bath can cause leaking and permanent
damage to the pump. Before power is applied to the installation, make sure the switch is in the OFF position
to avoid pump damage.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter.

Drain Information
A drain/overflow assembly must be installed on the bath, water tested, and connected to the sanitary system of the
house. After opening the carton, inspect for damage and verify that the kit is of the proper finish. In the Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath drain/overflow kit, note that the waste flange, strainer, overflow cover and cover screws are packaged
inaseparatepackagewithinthekittoprotectthetrimfinish. Followtheinstallationinstructionsprovidedwiththedrain/
overflow kit.
After the drain is fully installed, test for proper drainage. If the unit does not drain properly, rectify this condition before
proceeding with the installation. Jacuzzi Whirlpool bath is not responsible for removal and/or reinstallation costs.
NOTE: Watertight installation of the drain is the installer's responsibility. Drain leakage is excluded from the
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath warranty of this product.
Plumbing
Pump, jets, and suction fittings for the whirlpool system are factory plumbed in schedule 40 PVC piping. All Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath products are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping.
Before securing the bath to the floor a test for possible water leaks must be made. Fill the bath and check for leaks.
If leaks are detected, notify your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Dealer. Do not install the unit.

Water Supply
Consult local authorities for plumbing code requirements in your area.
IMPORTANT: Proper installation of the fill spout plumbing and compliance with local codes are the
responsibility of the installer. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath does not warrant connections of water supply fittings
and piping, fill systems, or drain/overflow systems. Nor is it responsible for damage to the bath which occurs
during installation.

Clean-Up After Installation
To avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the bath, never use abrasive cleaners. A mild liquid detergent and warm
water will clean soiled surfaces.
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools will scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or grout
can be removed if lightly rubbed with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge.
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry
sandpaper. You can restore the glossy finish to the acrylic surface of the bath with a special compound, Meguiar's
#10 Mirror Glaze. If that is not available, use automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of automotive
paste wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface will require refinishing. Ask your Jacuzzi Whirlpool
Bath dealer for special instructions.

Starting the Hydromassage
The J-Allure allows you to enjoy the benefits of a real hydromassage. The hydromassage is created by the
combined action of 8 water jets (two sets of four). The action of each group of four jets is either alternated or
pulsed.
To start the hydromassage jets, press the JETS button once (Figure 1). This will activate the jets by alternating the
sets of four jets. Pressing it a second time will pulse all eight jets. Pressing a third time turns the hydromassage OFF.
While the hydromassage is in either mode, the PULSED JETS button may be pushed. Pressing this button once will
increase the rate of the pulses from a default speed. Pressing a second and third time continues to increase the rate
of pulsation. Pressing a fourth time reverts to the default rate. To stop the hydromassage in any mode, press the
OFF button or any other button.
Starting the Steam Bath
Press the STEAM start button on the display (Figure 1). The steam function has a 60 minute cycle after which it turns
off automatically. The steam bath can be turned off at any time by depressing the OFF button. Do NOT operate the
steam generators without the water supply ON as permanent damage to the generators will occur.
Note: During steam bath operation, keep legs a distance of at least 3" away from the steam jets.
BATH OPERATION
Note: These instructions pertain to all bath products manufactured by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath. Not all
features discussed in this instruction pamphlet apply to all baths.
All baths manufactured by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath are designed for "fill and drain," which means the bath should be
drained after each use and filled with fresh water by the next bather. This is a health precaution, as these baths are
not designed to hold water continuously like pools or spas. If you want a unit designed to continuously hold water,
see your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer for the complete line of whirlpool spas available.
Once the bath is installed, remove any residue or foreign materials left over from construction. Use turpentine or paint
thinner to remove stubborn stains, paint or tar. Other dirt can be cleaned off with a mild liquid detergent on a damp
cloth. Scrape off plaster with a wooden or plastic edge; do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes or other metal
tools, as they will damage the bath's surface.
Water Level
Closethedrainandfillthebathuntilwaterisatleast2"abovethehighest jet(seewaterlineindicatedintheillustration).
Do not turn on the whirlpool system at any time if the jets are not completely immersed in water. Running the
whirlpool system when there is insufficient water in the bath could result in water spraying outside the bath area.
Running the whirlpool system without water will damage the recirculating pump.
Magic Touch® Whirlpool Switch
The Magic Touch whirlpool ON/OFF switch, conveniently located on the bath, allows you to turn the whirlpool system
on and off while in the bath. Simply push down on the switch button to turn on the whirlpool system. To turn the system
off, push down on the button again.
If your bath has an optional Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath wall mounted timer, set it for the amount of time you wish the
whirlpool to operate. Note: when you desire less than 10 minutes of whirlpool action, it is necessary to turn the timer
knob clockwise past the number 10 and then back to the desired amount. If the whirlpool action does not begin when
the timer is correctly set, it is necessary to push the Magic Touch switch button.

Controlling Whirlpool Action
The whirlpool action in your bath is influenced by three factors – direction of flow, force of water, and force of air.
All baths manufactured by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath are equipped with fully adjustable PowerPro® jets, which are
adjustable for all three factors. Some baths have additional directionally adjustable jets which can be adjusted for
direction and flow of air only.
Direction: Tochangethedirectionofthewaterflow, swivelthejetnozzletothedesiredangle. Thejetscanbedirected
individually toward any location on your body to provide a hydromassage. The jets can also be adjusted so that they
all point in the same direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) to circulate the water in a circular motion around the
bath, causing a total whirlpool effect.
Water Force: The high volume, fully adjustable jets can be adjusted to control the force of the water coming into the
bath. For robust action, increase the force of the flow by rotating the jet handles to the left (counterclockwise). For
a more gentle effect, rotate the handles to the right (clockwise). Never run the whirlpool system with all the jets
closed.
Force of Air: Two knobs located on the bath serve as controls for the air induction system. The intensity of the
hydromassage whirlpool action is determined by the amount of air inducted into the water. As the amount of air is
increased, the hydromassage action increases. For maximum air induction, rotate the control knobs fully counter-
clockwise to the largest circles. For fewer air bubbles, decrease the amount of air induction by rotating the control knob
clockwise. When the knobs are turned to the smallest circles, only water is being circulated.

CENTER PANEL MAINTENANCE
Purging the Whirlpool System
NOTE: THE WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM SHOULD BE
PURGED AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH
The hand held shower head is equipped with a screen
which must be occasionally cleaned of limestone and
other deposits. The screen is placed between the
flexiblehoseandtheshowerhead. Iflimestonedeposits
are on the jet nozzles, the shape of the water jets may be
altered. Remove and clean the nozzles occasionally.
Forcefully turn the nozzle counterclockwise until a click
is felt. Then remove the nozzle and clean it by soaking
it in a moderate vinegar and water solution. Do not use
metal tools (such as scissors or screwdrivers, etc.) to
cleanthenozzle. Forroutinecleaningofplasticsurfaces
use a mild liquid detergent only. Do not use abrasive
cleaners, alcohol, or other solvents. Any normal polish
can be used to keep acrylic surfaces shiny. The glass
panels can be cleaned with any glass-cleaning product
available on the market. Do not use abrasives, sol-
vents, or acetone on any part of the J-Allure.
To remove accumulations of bath residue from the
whirlpool system, it is recommended that a whirlpool
bath be purged at least twice a month. For best results,
however, we recommend that you purge your whirlpool
bath after each use using our exclusive two-part plum-
bing system cleaner made specifically for whirlpool
baths. Systems Clean ™ is available through an autho-
rized Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Distributor or by calling us
direct at 1-800-288-4002. Instructions for use: Imme-
diatelyafterbathingandexitingthewhirlpoolbath, leave
the bath water in the tub and add hot water, if necessary,
so the water is at least 2" above the highest jet. Turn on
the unit without the aerator. Pour the contents of the
Systems Clean Packet 1 (taking care not to get the
material on yourself) into the bath near the intake for the
circulation pump. Repeat same process with Systems
Clean Packet 2. It is important to use Packet 1 before
Packet 2 to avoid a strong odor. Run the bath for 5 to
10 minutes. Drain completely and rinse any residue.
Important(ForunitswithTV): Theseunitsareequipped
with a fan mounted inside the TV housing. At least every
2 years have a service technician verify that the fan is
operational. If the fan is not operating properly discon-
tinue TV use until fan can be repaired or replaced.

above and still have an excess accumulation of bath
residue and desire an alternative cleaning mechanism,
