Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Do not select a large rim-mount faucet or large deck-mount
faucet for this product. These faucets may be inadvertently used as a means of support and are not
appropriate or safe for this installation. Select a wall-mount faucet or alternative deck-mount faucet.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Use clear 100% silicone sealant to the required areas when
instructed. Do not use latex-based sealant or other caulks. Do not add silicone sealant to any other
areas. The inappropriate type and application of sealant may trap moisture and could result in
mold, leakage, or mildew over the life of the product.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the bath by the piping or blower. Do not use the piping or
blower for structural support of the bath. Lift the bath by the rim at multiple points.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Do not install the bath over open floor joists. The basin area requires
no additional support when the subfloor is level and square with the stud framing. Install the bath on an
adequately supported, level subfloor. Shimming is required if the subfloor is not level.
