SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The whirl system VIVO VARIO PLUS ideally combines the beneficial effects of air and water. Whether air, water or the combination of both elements - this system fulfils any whirling need in the best possible way. The intensity of the massage jets may be adjusted either automatically by intermittent operation or by means of the comfortable touch display. According to the bathtub type 22-24 bottom and side nozzles care for a relaxing as well as regenerat-ing whirl experience. While the bottom nozzles take care of a prickling bubbling, the champagne effect, the massage effect is furthermore optimised by eight rotating side noz-zles and any part of the body is reached by the massage jets. Besides additional nozzles integrated in the area of the foot reflex zones and the loin region care for a relaxing massage of the whole body.

Please observe the cleaning and care instructions for the whirl system (see page 15).

Mount a suitable handrail to get out of the whirlpool safely (to be obtained in specialist shops).

You must not place any objects in the openings of the massage nozzles while the whirl system is switched either on or off.

The openings of the suction nozzle must not be covered (e.g. by bathing utensils) when the whirl system is switched on.

When taking a whirl bath, do not use soap or any other foam or oil baths. Use the essences specifically made for whirl baths only (see manufacturer’s in-structions).

The whirlpool may only be used to take a whirl bath and to clean your body. Do not place any objects into the whirlpool.

SAFETY NOTES

The specialized dealer installing the whirlpool or the owner of the whirlpool, respectively, shall make these operating and installation instructions available to the succeeding owners and users.

The installation of the whirlpool, the electrical connection and the remedy of malfunctions and defects must be carried out by a specialized dealer who is able to prove to the authorities con-cerned his knowledge and competence as to the application of the national safety regulations, e.g. with regard to the power and water supply/discharge.

Never allow small children to be unat-tended while in a whirlpool bath. It is to be ensured that children do not play with the components of the whirlpool tub (control panel, massage nozzles) either before, during or after a whirlpool bath.

The whirlpool tub should not be used by persons (including children under 8 years of age) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or lacking experience and/or knowledge. A permis-sible exception is that they are attended by a person responsible for their safety or that they get instructions by this per-son how to use the whirlpool tub.

Do not use electrical appliances (such as hair dryers or shavers) near the whirl-pool even if the whirlpool is not being used. Electrical appliances in the bath-room have to be placed or attached such that they cannot fall into the whirl-pool.

MEDICINAL ADVICE

From the point of view of spa doctors (balneologists), the following advice is of fundamental importance.

In principle, everybody who can take a normal bath can also take a whirl bath. But there are a few things that should be kept in mind when taking a whirl bath:

The movements of the water further the heat ab-sorption and dissipation of the body. These chang-es in the body temperature result in an activation of the circulation (strain on the cardiovascular system).

Persons suffering from diseases of the central or peripheral circulatory system (coronary heart dis-ease, myocardial infarction, cardiac insufficiency, peripheral arterial occlusive disease) should on principle consult their attending physician. But in general, a water temperature which is similar to the body temperature should be preferred.

The water jet leaving the massage nozzles has a massaging effect. With diseases of the leg veins (varicose veins, thrombosis), medical advice should be taken. In general, low massaging effects and cool water temperatures should be preferred.

When getting out of a bathtub (whirlpool), there might be a sensation of dizziness affecting your balance and perception and causing a fall. If you tend to get dizzy, you should avoid getting up abruptly, choose a cool to indifferent water temper-ature, give your legs a cold shower from the feet up to your head and use a suitable essence (horse chestnut, rosemary). Ask your local dealer about access or other bathtub aids.

In case of doubt, you should on principle consult your phy-sician if you suffer from one of the above mentioned dis-eases or in the case of any other risks to your health.

CLEANING THE NOZZLES

CLEANING THE NOZZLES IN THE BOTTOM AREA

If the bottom nozzles are badly soiled, the bores in the air jet covers can be cleaned by piercing them with a tooth-pick.

CLEANING THE DRAIN AND OVERFLOW FITTINGS

The surfaces of the drain and overflow fittings are rinsed with hot water and wiped dry with a soft and dustfree cloth or chamois.

If the waste pipe is soiled or clogged, it can be cleaned by means of cleansing agents available on the market.

When using cleansing agents, please, observe the manufacturer’s instructions and warning notes.

CLEANING THE REST WATER PISTON

In the event that the whirlpool loses water during a bath, the rest water piston must be cleaned. The rest water pis-ton is cleaned by repeatedly opening and closing the drain and overflow fittings while the whirl system is switched on.

CLEANING OF THE TOUCH DISPLAY

Clean the touch display with a soft and moist cloth only.

CLEANING THE WHIRLPOOL

The whirlpool can be cleaned easily and without any effort. With the correct care and proper treatment, you will enjoy your whirlpool for a long time. Please observe the cleaning and care instructions to avoid any technical defects.

• Normally, it is sufficient to rinse the whirlpool with hot water and to wipe it out with a soft and dustfree cloth or chamois after taking a bath.

• If slightly soiled, a cleansing agent with a neutral pH-value (5-7, e.g. washing-up liquid or neutral soap) and a soft sponge and/or cloth should be used.

• If badly soiled, the deposits should be soaked for a while (approx. 10-15 minutes) and the pool should then be cleaned again, if necessary.

• With lime deposits: Remove deposits with a water/vin-egar solution (ratio 1:1, no vinegar concentrate) or with a dilute deliming agent.

To avoid lime deposits, keep the fittings tightly closed and remove any residual water left in the pool after you have taken a bath.

Use liquid household cleansing agents available on the market only. Observe the respective manufac-turer’s instructions.

Do not use scouring or sand-containing cleansing agents. Chlorine-containing disinfectants or ag-gressive cleaners (e.g. acetone, cellulose thinner, naphtha) may attack or bleach the coated whirl-pool components and enamelled surfaces.

Only use soft cloths or sponges to clean the sur-faces. Under no circumstances should scrubbing brushes/sponges, steel wool or other tools be used.

CLEANING THE MASSAGE NOZZLES IN THE SIDE AREA

If the massage nozzles in the side area are soiled, the swivelling insert is moved several times (cleared) and fi-nally rinsed with fresh water.

It may happen occasionally that the controller of the whirl system no longer reacts to the signals of the radio control. This problem can be remedied by means of a ”restart”, disconnecting the whirl system from the supply.

• Switch off the whirl system via the main switch, the earth leakage circuit breaker or the fuses for at least three seconds.

• Switch the whirl system back on.
