Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing a Teuco Minipool.

A generous and versatile range of jets, an incomparable set of functions leaving you free to enjoy

different kinds of relaxation, from toning massages to hydrotherapy, that will revitalize those delicate

areas of the body like the neck, back, legs and feet.

Combating stress and recapturing well-being has never been easier.

611 - 612

Teuco takes the greatest care over the materials used in its products, making technological improvements

continuously both to the plastics utilized, and to details of construction. All Teuco Minipools are fashioned from

cast acrylic resin: the frame is zinc-treated steel, and pipelines are of high strength material.

Teuco Minipools bear the

mark, indicating that they are designed and manufactured in accordance with

the essential requirements of European directives 73/23 - 93/68 on electrical safety and 89/336 - 92/91 - 93/68

on electromagnetic compatibility.

The safety of Teuco whirlpool systems is also certified officially by

(Italian Quality Mark Institute) as being

in compliance with the application of current European standards.

TEUCO QUALITY

Given the relaxing and invigorating effects of a whirlpool massage, doubtless the best time to take a
session is after sport or physical exercise, although not on a full stomach and never before food has been
properly digested.

The temperature of the water needs to be around 37 °C to derive maximum benefit from the massage.

In the case of new users, most especially, whirlpool sessions should be restricted to just a few minutes.
Thereafter, the duration can be increased gradually to 15-20 minutes, but always subject to the user’s
general physical fitness.

USEFUL HINTS ON PROPER USE OF THE TEUCO MINIPOOL

SAFETY

To ensure the appliance is correctly installed, follow all the instructions in the accompanying installation manual with due care.
Incorrect installation may result in injury to persons and animals or damage to property. The manufacturer declines any liability
for injury or damage attributable to incorrect installation.

For proper use of the appliance, follow the instructions given in this manual. This appliance must be used only for the purpose
for which it was designed. The manufacturer declines any liability for injury or damage attributable to improper use.

This product is intended for home use. In the event of a Teuco minipool being commissioned for public use, procurement
managers must ensure compliance with all statutory regulations governing safety, water treatment and utility systems
normally in force in the country of installation.

Only adult persons should use the appliance. Children and the disabled may use the Teuco Minipool under constant supervision.
For special cases (the elderly, individuals with high blood pressure or heart disease, pregnant women and people taking cures),
seek medical advice before using the whirlpool.

With the whirlpool system in operation:

- take care that the suction valves or the skimmer are not obstructed by any object or part of the body, and in particular, keep

hair well clear;

- do not handle fragile objects that could break (e.g. drinking glasses);

- do not use electrical appliances (e.g. radios, hair dryers, etc.) near the minipool.

Take care when stepping into or out of the minipool, as water will make all the surfaces slippery.

Do not use the minipool in unsuitable weather conditions (e.g. during a thunderstorm).

Do not block the space between the floor and the side panelling, or in the case of the built-in version, do not block the vents in
the pool surround.

In the event of breakdown or malfunction occurring during the warranty period, contact a Teuco technician or approved service
centre only. The manufacturer declines any liability for damage or injury caused by appliances that have been tampered with or
incorrectly repaired.

Make certain the cap of the Aromatherapy Essences Dispenser is always fitted. Do remove the cap from the Dispenser when the
AIR JETS are in operation (see AIR JETS).

611 - 612

A - Two Seats:

Each with three Multi Roto Jets massaging the torso and one Roto Jet in the central

area of the pool.

B - Recliner:

Includes sixteen Stream Jets within the seat outline.

C - Power Jet:

This is the jet with the deepest and strongest massaging action. Its effect is similar to

a powerful force of nature, like a waterfall or a racing torrent.

D - Tri Roto Jet:

Three jets, all adjustable for direction. The two jets uppermost can be rotated to

create a special vortex effect; the lower jet is directional, like a high flow whirlpool jet. The rate of
flow through all three is adjustable simply by turning the outer ring.

E -Blower:

twelve jets delivering air only, which oxygenate the water and stimulate the skin, giving it

vitality. In combination with whirlpool essences (put into the special dispenser), they excite the
sense of smell, delivering all the benefits of aromatherapy.

MINIPOOL FUNCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS

Aromatherapy:

according to the principles of aromatherapy, perfumed essences not only give

immediate pleasure to the sense of smell, they also stimulate receptors in the brain that are able
to change our mood for the better, making us calmer, more happy, more focused, depending on
our nature. Besides being harmless to the skin, the essences prepared for the Teuco Minipool do
not cloud the water and will leave no traces of foam.

F - Electronic control panel:

an easy-to-use operating system ensuring that selected functions and

their settings can be monitored continuously.

G - Flow diverter:

used to switch the flow of water from one massage of the minipool to another.

H - Selector knob:

regulates the force of the whirlpool massage by proportioning the amount of air.

I - Quick start:

ON/OFF buttons used to activate Pump 1, Pump 2, Blower and Underwater Light.

M - Anatomically contoured headrest:

soft and ergonomically designed cushions ensuring individual

occupants of the Teuco Minipool can relax with their head comfortably and correctly positioned.

N - Skimmer:

draws impurities off the surface of the water and into a special internal filtering

system.

O - Water treatment:

the water in the pool is filtered and disinfected continuously with ozone by a

special circuit that remains permanently active, even in the standby condition (electrical system
powered up).
Ozone will cease to be generated for a period of 40 minutes whenever any one of the minipool
functions is activated.

P - Underwater light:

the Teuco minipool will be a magnificent sight even after dark, with the

underwater light throwing up reflections that ripple on the surface of the water.

Q - Suction valve ports:

These take water from the tub back into the circuit of the whirlpool system.

IN TEMPERATE CLIMATES

In areas where the temperature falls below zero only
occasionally, the water can be left in the minipool as
long as it has “antifreeze protection”.
CAUTION: leave the system connected to the electrical
power supply so that the “antifreeze protection” can
come into operation if the water should drop below
5 °C.
This function operates by activating the heater and the
whirlpool pumps in alternation until the water
temperature is raised to 7 °C.

IN COLD CLIMATES

Empty the minipool completely, as follows:
- isolate the minipool from the power supply (1)
- remove the inspection panel (2)
- open the drain valve and the bleed cocks (3)
- unscrew the drain plugs on the pump casings (4)
- using a liquids vacuum cleaner, remove water from

the bottom of the pool and from the AIR JET outlets.

Remove and clean the filters, and store in a dry place.
Cover the minipool with the canvas provided, so that it
will not collect dirt.

Before using the Teuco Minipool again after the winter
break, repeat the steps indicated for STARTING UP
FIRST TIME.

WINTERING PROCEDURE

The appliance is equipped with various safety features which monitor the operation of the system.

In the event of malfunction, the system responds automatically by deactivating the function currently
