BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Carefully read all the instructions in the manual before beginning the installation.
Consult local building codes to make sure the installation complies with standards.
Remove the unit from its packaging. Before disposing of it, inspect the unit to make sure it is in good shape.
Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the finish, contact your distributor. The warranty does not cover damages or defects in the finish once the unit has been installed. MAAX’s responsibility for shipping damages ceases upon delivery of the product in good order to the carrier. All complaints regarding damage due to transport must be made directly to the carrier.
Place the unit in the bathroom before you start working. Sectional units should be disassembled if necessary. Conserve all nuts and bolts.
To protect the unit during installation, we recommend that you lay a piece of cardboard on the bottom.
If the unit is covered with polyethylene protective film, do not remove it until installation is complete to grant maximum protection. However, remove the film where two surfaces will be in permanent contact.
Install all plumbing and drainage before securing the unit. It is always recommended to have a professional plumber do the plumbing installations. See rough-in information for your model on our website.

Unpacking the unit

STEP 1
Cut the cardboard box so as to keep one side to protect the bathtub while is upside down. Turn the bathtub upside down. Unscrew the skirt from the wooden blocks.
** Not all bathtubs have screws and wooden blocks holding the skirt and the bathtub together.
Remove the skirt. Insert a flat-head screwdriver between the wooden blocks and the wood plank to remove the blocks.
Follow all instructions and check them off as you go.

STEP 2
Place back the skirt in the inverted bathtub. Adjust the legs so that they exceed the top of the edge of the skirt by 1/8″. You can use a 2×4 to take the measure as shown.

Bathtub skirt and drain positioning

STEP 3
With the help of the bathtub apron or the optional template, mark the center of the drainage line in relation to the desired position of the bathtub. See also the rough-in information for your model on our website.
Make sure the floor is level.
Before drilling a hole in the floor for the drainpipe, make sure there are no hidden elements underneath (pipes, floor joists, heating ducts, or electrical wires).
Place the bathtub in the previously marked position.
Verify that the bathtub is completely leveled. Use the leveling legs if needed. Remove the bathtub.
Drill the cutout on the floor for the drain and overflow in the previously marked position.
** If the user needs a faucet on the same side as the overflow, he must validate that there is no interference between them.

Install the waste and overflow and faucets according to the manufacturer’s instruction manuals.
For models 105571 (Optik 60”) and 106266 (Ariosa 60″) ONLY:
MAAX 105359 Freestanding Bathtub - Figure 17 Standard drainpipe and overflow compatible with end-drain freestanding bathtub models: 105571 (Optik 60”) and 106266 (Ariosa 60”).
5.1 Check me!
Standard drainpipe and overflow compatible with center drain freestanding bathtub model: 105742 (Optik 66”) and 106267 (Ariosa 66”).
Apply a silicone seal under the apron (optional).
According to bathroom flooring, use proper screws (not included) to secure the skirt to the floor.
Make sure the skirt is level.
Add two spacers (example 2×4) on the skirt ends and position the bathtub inside the skirt. Attach the hot and cold water riser to the plumbing hoses.
The faucet must be connected to 1/2″ flexible hoses of sufficient length to allow the bathtub to be lifted if needed (25″ or 635mm).
5.2 Check me!
5.3 Check me!
Remove the spacers. Make sure all the legs are in contact with the ground so that the bathtub is not supported by the skirt (see the cut view below).
The bathtub must be tested before installation is complete. Fill the bathtub to the overflow and inspect for leaks. Tighten and loosen connections between the hoses and motor by hand.
To complete the installation and solidify the bathtub, apply a bead of silicone along the seam where the bathtub rests against the skirt.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Water accumulates around the drain and the bathtub does not completely empty.

Check that the installation is leveled and that the bathtub is well supported by the legs. With the help of a level, place it at the bottom of the bathtub, and make sure to have a slight slope towards the drain. If necessary, adjust the legs under the bathtub.

The bottom of the bathtub moves during use.

The bathtub is not sitting firmly on its base; adjust leveling legs.

Polyethylene film will not come off.

Use a hair dryer to blow hot air on the surface.

MAINTENANCE
Regular disinfections provide an effective defense against various types of bacteria susceptible to developing in the deposits that build up over time in all bathtubs and showers.
For daily maintenance cleaning, use a moist cloth and gentle liquid detergent.
For acrylic surfaces, the occasional use of a special acrylic surface cleaner such as LUMASHINE® or LUMACREAM® will add luster and protect the finish.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scrapers, metal brushes, or any items or products that could scratch or dull the surface.
Paint stains: Use either turpentine or paint thinner.
Joint compound: Use a plastic or wood spatula covered with a damp cloth. Do not use a metal blade or a metal brush.
If a rubber mat is used, it must be removed immediately after each use. Ignoring this recommendation will cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Certain types of therapeutic products when added to bath water, or if applied non-diluted directly in the bath, may damage the unit finish. Test the product on a small inconspicuous surface prior to use.
