11.6 Maintaining The Wood Cabinet
With time and exposure to the elements, the wood on your spa will tend to
loose its new appearance. Protecting or reviving the wood surfaces is a fair-
ly simple process. Light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper will help smooth
any roughness and regular applications of a penetrating wood preservative
will enhance and protect the richness of the wood. A specially formulated
wood stain available from your Jacuzzi Premium dealer is ideal for this.
CAUTION: Do not apply varnish, shellac or other surface sealants to the
wood. These tend to react with the chemicals in the wood and the UV
rays of the sun, causing yellowing, flaking and
peeling.
11.7 Maintaining The Optional Synthetic Cabinet
Your new spa’s synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any
kind. To clean, simply wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild soap solu-
tion.
CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a garden hose for any reason
since this action may induce an electrical short in the spa’s
electrical equipment.
11.8 Winterizing
Your Jacuzzi Premium spa is designed to automatically protect itself against
freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing tempera-
tures, you should check periodically to be certain that the electrical supply to
the spa has not been interrupted. In extreme, bitter cold weather less than
-20°F (-29 °C), choose the F3 “Standard” skimming/heating mode to prevent
freezing (Page 29).
If you do not intend to use your spa, or if there is a prolonged power outage
during periods of severe freezing temperatures, it is important that all water
be removed from the spa and equipment to protect against damage from
freezing. For expert winterization of your spa, contact your authorized
Jacuzzi Premium dealer. In emergency situations, damage can be mini-
mized by taking the following steps:
1. Follow the directions on page 32 for draining the spa.
2. As the water level drops below the seats, use whatever means
necessary to get the water out of the recessed seating areas and into
the footwell.
