GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Apart from the corner models, the Projecta by Jacuzzi
baths are available with the backrest either on the left or right hand
side. The Left-Right version may be identified by standing in front
of the bath facing the control panel.
Jacuzzi Europe recommends the use of the removable front panel,
which allows access for any necessary maintenance operations. In
the corner models, a gap about 50 cm wide should left along the
entire external border of the bath to allow the assembly and
removal of the panels.
For fitted baths, or those with the control panel facing the wall,
access needs to be provided for maintenance to the electrical
pump, the electric box and the area below the control panel. This
access space can be closed with removable panels at least 45 cm
high measured from the floor (see information sheet, ref. 6).
Furthermore, adequate ventilation must be available for the bath
unit, with vents between the bath covers and the removable panels,
well distributed and non-obstructed.
The baths can be installed against tiled and on a tiled floor can be
tiled because the space available between the bottom of the bath
and the floor is sufficient to allow the assembly of adequately sized
siphons/siphon boxes. Make sure that the floor drainage hole (ref.
1) is correctly positioned (height Y) for the bath drain, shown in the
information sheet, according to the type of siphon to be used (not
supplied).
All models need to have the electrical box, fixed to the frame (ref.
2), connected to the electrical supply and correctly earthed. The
cable may follow various routes as long as there are no improvised
connections. In all cases, refer to the "Electrical safety" chapter.
HOT/COLD WATER SUPPLY
The water can be supplied from an external tank unit with a wall
outlet (minimum length X), positioned at references 3 or 3a indi-
cated in the information sheet. On some models, position 3b can
only be used when the drain is against the wall.
If a bath unit is used without a shower diverter, it will be necessary
to fit a diverter after the taps to allow the future installation of a
shower head.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

® whirlpool Jacuzzi ® hydromassage products are safe appliances, manufac-
tured according to EN 60335.2.60, EN 61000 and EN 55014
norms and approved by the TÜV Certifying Institute. They are
tested during production in order to guarantee the user's safety.
The installation must be carried out by qualified persons who must
be able to guarantee compliance with the current national regula-
tions and who must also be certified to carry out the installation.
It is the installer's responsability to select materials in
relation to expected use; to perform the installation cor-
rectly and to check the condition of the system to which
the whirlpool bath is to be connected, in order to find out
whether it can ensure safe use.
"Projecta by Jacuzzi
must therefore be securely located and connected in a permanent
manner, without intermediate junctions, to the electrical
supply and the protection system (earthing plant).
The electrical and earthing plant for the appliance must be
efficient and in conformity with the legal requirements and
the specific national regulations.
The connection to the electricity supply requires the installation of
an omnipolar isolation switch which must be located in a suitable
position to ensure that the bathroom safety regulations are respect-
ed. This omnipolar switch must guarantee that the contacts remain
open at least 3 mm and be suitable for voltages of 220-240 V and
a current of up to 16 A.
In accordance with the regulations, the switch and other
electrical devices must be located in an area wich cannot
be reached by the person who is in the whirlpool bath.
The installation of electrical devices and other equipment (sockets,
switches, etc.) in the bathroom must be in strict accordance with
the legal requirements and regulations for each country. In particu-
lar, no electrical installations are to be made within the area sur-
rounding the whirlpool bath in a range of 60 cm horizontally and
225 cm vertically.
The connection to the electrical plant mounted in the bath unit
must be made with a sheathed cable having characteristics not less
than H 05 VV-F 3x2.5 mm
