Installation Guide

Complete the Installation (cont.)
For additional information on bath operation, see the ″Operating Instructions″ section.
Finish the Installation
Install water-resistant wallboard and all finished wall, deck, and floor materials. Ensure a 1/16″ (2
mm) gap between the bath rim and the finished material.
Apply silicone sealant to seal all areas where the bath and finished wall or deck meet.
Install the faucet trim.
Clean-up After Installation
When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the
bath surface. Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface of the bath.
Remove stubborn stains or paint with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners containing
petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any bath surface for long periods of time. Remove
plaster by carefully scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or other
metal tools. Use a powder-type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild abrasive action to any
residual plaster.
