Before You Begin

IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the
piping or pump for structural support of the whirlpool.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Do not support the whirlpool by the rim. The product must be
supported by the whirlpool feet.
IMPORTANT! 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.
If installing a whirlpool to a masonry wall, make provisions for plumbing connections. Use a 2x2 or
equivalent furring strips to simulate stud locations for attachment.
Read all instructions before you begin.
This whirlpool is designed for alcove installations.
If remodeling, measure the existing framework before removing the old fixture to make sure that the
new whirlpool will fit. Verify that the drain is in the correct location.
Confirm adequate mounting and connection space for the water supply and drain chosen for the
installation.
Remove the whirlpool from the carton and inspect for damage or missing parts.
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.
