ON WHIRLPOOL EQUIPPED UNIT
ü Check for required modifications to
framing due to whirlpool components.
The unit must be positioned square in
the alcove framework. The use of shim
or filler material behind the fastening
flange at each framing member may
be required to maintain the unit in the
proper position.
After the unit is confirmed level and square
in the alcove, drill a 1/8 inch hole through
the fastening flange at each framing member
and every 8 inches along the front fastening
flanges. Secure the unit in place across the
back wall first, followed by the flanges at
each end and along the front flanges, using
1-1/4 inch long (large headed) nails or other
appropriate fasteners. Continuously check
to confirm the unit remains square within the
alcove as it is being secured. (Figures 3a &
3b)
WARNING!
THE UNIT BOTTOM SHOULD BE
CLEAR OF ALL POTENTIALLY
DAMAGING DEBRIS AND THE
SURFACE PROTECTED BEFORE
STEPPING INSIDE.
CAUTION: It is advisable to protect
the unit surface with a thin plywood or
cardboard shield while fastening the
flange to the framing.
Water Supply and Drain Connections
Refer to, and follow, the assembly and
installation instructions provided with the
supply valves and drain system. Carefully
check all fittings and connections for
leaks.
Finishing Guidelines
Furring strips or filler material may be
required over the framing to ensure
the underlayment will lie flush over the
fastening flanges (Figure 4).
A water resistant underlayment
recommended on areas surrounding the
unit. Stop the underlayment 1/16 to 1/8 inch
from the unit surface, and fill the space with
a continuous bead of waterproof sealant.
Carefully fasten the underlayment near
the unit to avoid damaging the unit
surface. Seal the seams and edges of the
underlayment, as required, and install the
finish material to specifications. (Figure 4)
