Operating Your Spa
9800 Electronic Control Operation
When first powered up, the 9800 electronic system (Figure 9) will perform a self-diagnostic check and then it
will automatically heat to and maintain a temperature of 100°F (37.5°C) until you change the set temperature as
listed in the “Temperature Adjustment” section below.

These instructions will describe features and options that your particular spa may not be equipped with.
Initial Start-up
When your spa is first powered up, it displays some configuration codes and then goes into priming mode (Pr
will appear on the display panel). This mode lasts up to four minutes and then the spa begins to heat to its pre -
programmed temperature of 100°F. You can exit the priming mode early by pressing UP or DOWN buttons.
Temperature Adjustment
80°F - 104.°F / 26.0°C - 40.0°C
The start-up temperature is set at 100°F / 37.5°C. The last measured temperature is constantly displayed on the
control panel. Note that the last measured spa temperature is displayed. The displayed temperature will be
updated when the pump has been running for at least two minutes.
Press the UP or DOWN buttons once to display the set temperature. Each time either button is pressed again,
the set temperature will increase or decrease depending on which button is pressed. After three seconds, the
control panel will automatically display the last measured spa temperature.
Note: Some spa models are equipped with the exclusive XL Heat Exchanger™, the most efficient spa heater
available anywhere. This highly innovative device heats water faster and more efficiently with no chemical
build-up. For your protection, it includes a High Limit Overheat Protection safety device that prevents spa
equipment from overheating. The XL Heat Exchanger™ works automatically and requires no maintenance.
