Installation Guide

4. Install the Whirlpool Trim Kit
Install the Trim Kit
Install the suction cover and jets according to the instructions packed with the trim kit.
Install the Neckjet Trim (if included)
NOTE: The neckjets will not operate unless the pillow is installed. Always use a slip cover to prevent
water from spraying from the whirlpool.
Choose a slip cover, and fit it over the pillow.
Carefully slide the pillow down onto the neckjet body grooves until it is secure.
Test Run the Whirlpool
Fill the whirlpool to a level at least 2″ (51 mm) above the top of the highest jet.
Operate the whirlpool for 5 minutes and check all whirlpool piping connections for leaks. Check for
leakage along the front, sides, and back of the whirlpool.
Turn on each of the whirlpool features and verify proper function. Check for water leakage along
the front, sides, and back of the whirlpool.
For additional information on whirlpool operation, see the ″Operating Instructions″ section.
Complete the Installation
Install water-resistant wallboard and all finished wall, deck, and floor materials.
Apply silicone sealant to seal all areas where the whirlpool 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
whirlpool surface. If necessary, use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface of the
whirlpool, user keypad, and remote control.
Remove stubborn stains or paint with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners containing
petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any whirlpool 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.
