Before You Begin (cont.)
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Only apply 100% silicone sealant to the
areas where instructed to do so. Do not add silicone sealant to any other areas.
The inappropriate use of silicone sealant may trap moisture and could result in
mold, leakage, or mildew. For bath-only installations, 100% silicone sealant is
required at the seams of the walls and the bath. We recommend using colored
100% silicone sealant to match the color of the product. Use of latex based or
other caulks is not recommended. If a shower door will be added, you will be
instructed to apply silicone sealant where the front edges of the end wall
surrounds will meet the bath. This will prevent water from passing through the
shower door extrusion to the back side of the wall. Follow the shower door and
silicone sealant manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the bath using the apron brace.
Lift the bath by the rim at multiple points. Bath units in a single carton are
shipped with apron braces in the closed position.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. To avoid rust marks on your product,
ensure the roofing nails or non-tapered flathead screws are galvanized or plated. If
using galvanized or plated non-tapered flathead screws, do not overtighten the
screws. Excessive tightening can damage the wall flange. Consult local building
codes to determine if the screws or nails must be galvanized or plated.
NOTICE: The bath cannot be installed without the wall surrounds.
NOTICE: If your bath is shipped with a liner, keep the liner in place until
construction is complete to prevent surface damage to the unit. If a liner is not
available, place a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the bath.
Read all instructions before you begin.
Observe all applicable plumbing and building codes.
This bath is designed for alcove installations.
Upon receipt, check for shortages or damage. Report any shortages or damage
immediately.
Do not remove the old fixture before you unpack and inspect the new unit.
Store the bath and wall surrounds in a safe place until you begin installation to
avoid damage.
If remodeling, measure the existing framework before removing the old bath to
make sure that the new bath will fit. Make sure that the drain is in the correct
location.
Confirm adequate mounting and connection space for the water supply and drain
installation.
The apron panel is not removable on bath units.

Avant de commencer
ATTENTION: Risque d'endommagement du produit. Installer la baignoire sur
un plancher correctement supporté et nivelé. L'espace du bassin ne nécessite pas
de support additionnel lorsque le plancher est nivelé et d'équerre avec les
montants du cadre. Utiliser des cales pour un support additionnel si le plancher
est irrégulier. Ne pas installer la baignoire sur des solives du sol exposées.
