    wired brushes that will permanently scratch the surface.

Product Care and Cleaning

To clean the bathtub, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe the surface.

Product Usage Instructions

Installation with Underfloor Access

  1. Prepare the tools required for installation.
  2. Follow the installation steps 2 to 10 as provided in the installation guide.
  3. After installation, wipe off any excess tub or tile caulking, adhesive where the tub meets the floor with a wet cloth.
  4. Do not shower or move the tub after installation because it will take about 24 hours to get the silicone to dry.

Installation on Slab Floor (No Underfloor Access)

  1. Prepare the tools required for installation.
  2. Turn the bathtub upside down and set it on a non-abrasive mat, blanket, or cardboard to prevent any scratches on the tub rim.
  3. Place a level across the bottom of the tub and adjust the tub feet leveler to touch the level. Then raise the leveler additional 1/8 or 3/16 so that the weight of the tub, water, and user are fully supported by the feet adjuster and not the tub walls.
  4. Measure the actual distance from drain into drain pipe on the floor and ensure that the drain pipe should extend approximately 1 above the finish floor. Use a drain adapter (not provided) if necessary.
  5. Clean the surrounding of the drain pipe with cloth in preparation of setting the drain. The area should be dry and free of any debris. Apply a bead of clear silicon or plumber putty around the drain body and pass it through the drain hole. Also, apply plumber putty to the washer and slide it over the bottom of the drain body.
  6. Apply putty to fix the rubber slip gasket over the drain vent.
  7. Apply a generous bead of adhesive or waterproof silicone to the bottom of the tub and caulk around the edge of the tub.
  8. Flip the tub over and carefully set the tub into position with tail piece assembly to waste vent and connect to the drain.
