All complaints regarding damage due to transport must be made directly to the carrier.

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.

STEP 2 | Leveling Legs Adjustment

2.1 Check me! 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 2x4 to take the measure as shown. 2x4 Cut view 1/8" Skirt Legs Bolt leg installation only applicable to certain models. 2x4 Cut view 1/8" Legs Skirt 2x4 Cut view 1/8" Legs Skirt 2x4 Clt view 1/8"

STEP 3 | Bathtub Skirt and Drain Positioning

3.1 Check me! With the help of the bathtub apron, mark the center of the drainage line in relation with 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, electrical wires). Floor Desired bathtub position Drain position 3.2 Check me! Place the bathtub in the previously marked position. Verify that the bathtub is completely leveled. Use the leveling legs if needed. Remove the bathtub. 3.3 Check me! Drill the cutout on the floor for the drain and overflow in the previously marked position. If the user needs faucet on the same side than the overflow, they must validate that there is no interference between them.

4.1 Check me! Faucet elements must be installed in the intended area. See also the rough-in information for your model on our website. Before drilling, position the faucet base to make sure they line up with the predrilled holes. Mark the location of the faucets on the unit and drill 3/16" (5 mm) pilot holes. Make sure the holes line up with the plumbing. If the user needs faucet on the same side than the overflow, he must validate that there is no interference between them.

4.2 Check me! Drill directly on the finished side, following the faucet installation instructions.

STEP 5 | Bathtub Preparation and Installation (CONTINUED)

5.2 Check me! 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. Silicone Skirt Top view 5.3 Check me! Add two spacers (example 2x4) on the skirt ends and position the bathtub inside the skirt. Attach the hot and cold water riser to the plumbing hoses. Faucet must be connected to 1/2" flexible hoses of sufficient length to allow the bathtub to be lifted if needed (25" or 635mm).

STEP 5 | Bathtub Preparation and Installation (CONTINUED)

5.4 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 cut view below). The bathtub must be tested before installation is complete. Fill the bathtub to the overflow and inspect for leaks. Tighten and loose connections between the hoses and motor by hand.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TOUBLESHOOTING

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 level, place at the bottom of the bathtub, make sure to have a slight slope towards the drain. If necessary, adjust the legs under the bathtub.

Bottom of bathtub moves during use.

- Bathtub is not sitting firmly on its base; adjust leveling legs.

Polyethylene film will not come off.

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

MAINTENANCE

Regular disinfections provide an effective defense against various types of bacteria susceptible of 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.

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 a 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.
