CauTIOn: Never spray cabinet with a high pressure garden
hose for any reason since this action may induce an electrical

14.6 maintaining the Cover
Using the Jacuzzi insulating spa cover anytime the spa is not in use will
significantly reduce your operating costs, heat-up time, and maintenance
requirements. To prolong the life of the cover, handle it with care and
clean it regularly using mild soap and water. Periodic treatments with a
special conditioner developed for Jacuzzi spa covers will help protect
against deterioration caused by UV rays from the sun. Never allow
anyone to stand or sit on the cover, and avoid dragging it across rough
surfaces.
14.7 winterizing
Your Jacuzzi spa is designed to automatically protect itself against
freezing when operating properly. During periods of severe freezing
temperatures, 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) verify auto-heating is set for 24-hour
operation (Section 13.5 Programming The Primary Filter Cycle, page 64)
and that auto-heating is selected (Section 13.2 Auto-Heating or Section
13.3 Programmable Heating Mode, page 60) to protect against damage
to the spa.
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.
expert winterization of your spa is highly recommended, contact
your authorized Jacuzzi dealer. In emergency situations, damage can
be minimized by taking the following steps:
