9. Complete the Finished Wall

If you have not already done so, carefully remove any protective tape from the whirlpool rim.
For Flush installations:
Install water-resistant wall material to within 1/4" (6 mm) of the module edge. Also install trim
along the bottom apron edge.
Tape, mud, and finish the water-resistant wall material.
Install the faucet trim according to the instructions packed with the trim.
For alcove installations:
Install water-resistant wall material around the unit to conceal the module edge.
Tape, mud, and finish the water-resistant wall material.
Install the faucet trim according to the instructions packed with the trim.

10. Install Extra Grab Bars

Any extra grab bars or towel bars should now be installed through the module walls, and secured
in place directly to the bridging previously installed. Screws, bolts and backing should be selected to
properly secure the grab bars. Carefully seal around the grab bar fastener areas. Follow the grab bar
manufacturer's instructions.
Grab bars can also be installed directly to the module, providing the proper fastening device is used
to securely attach the bar to the unit. Manufacturer's suggestions concerning grab bar installation
must be carefully followed.

11. 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, paint, or tar with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners
containing petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any whirlpool surfaces 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.
