Installation instructions forFree standing bathtubs (with skirt)

IMPORTANT: Ensure to check the bathtub for proper drainage before any �nishing is done.

• Note that the bathtub is shipped with the skirt attached and waste and over�ow installed.

Installation Instructions:• Place the tub where it is to be installed and adjust the adjustable legs to make sure the tub is level.• It is recommended that the skirt should not be touching the floor and be about 1/8” - 3/16” above the floor. • Anchor the bathtub legs with the floor either by using 2 part epoxy putty (see Fig.A) or setting the legs in abed of mortar (see Fig.B)• Finish the installation by running a bead of high quality silicone around the outside of the bathtub, where the bathroom floor meets the bathtub skirt.• The waste & overflow can then be attached to the trap from below the floor.

Regular disinfections provide an effective defense against various types of bacteria susceptible of developing in the deposits that build up over time in all bathtubs and showers.

For daily cleaning, use a moist cloth and gentle liquid detergent.

For acrylic surfaces, occasional use of a special acrylic surface cleaner will add luster and protect

scratch or dull the surface.

Paint stains: Use either turpentine or a paint thinner. Joint compound: Use a plastic or wood spatula covered with a damp cloth. Do not use a metal blade or a metal brush. If a rubber mat is used, it must be removed immediately after each use.Ignoring this recommendation will cause damage not covered by the warranty.
