Before You Begin

NOTICE: Risk of product damage. The wall surround sections are backed with foam to bring the back of
the wall into contact with the stud framing. This foam is not packing material. Do not remove.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. The two apron braces must be connected at all three bosses in order
to be effective. One boss is on the whirlpool. The other two are on the apron. Make sure that the braces
are properly connected before handling the unit. If necessary, glue the braces to each boss.
NOTICE: Risk of product damage. Do not install the whirlpool over open floor joists. The basin area
requires no additional support when the subfloor is level and square with the stud framing. Install the
whirlpool on an adequately supported, level subfloor. Use shims for additional support if the subfloor is
uneven.
NOTE: Use clear 100% silicone sealant as directed. Do not use acrylic or other caulks.
Observe all applicable plumbing, electrical, and building codes.
This whirlpool 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 whirlpool and wall surrounds in a safe place until you begin installation to avoid damage.
If remodeling, measure the existing framework before removing the old whirlpool to make sure that
the new whirlpool 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.
If your whirlpool is shipped with a liner, keep the liner in place until construction is complete. If a
liner is not available, position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the whirlpool.
The whirlpool apron is not removable. An access panel is provided in the apron to allow servicing
of the pump, if required.
