Regular care of your walk-in tub will keep it clean and working at its best. This care should include the tub, the trim and
fittings and the internal water-carrying part of the pipe system. Because of the detrimental effects that mineral deposits,
soap scum and bacteria have on finished surfaces, it is important to clean your bathtub and the fixtures (fittings) on a
regular basis.

DO NOT USE HARSH ABRASIVES OR SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING
THIS UNIT.
There are no user serviceable parts. All service and repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician
in accordance with all applicable local and national codes. For replacement parts contact your dealer/distributor.
1. Door
•
Leave tub door open when not in use.
•
Never use the door as a support when entering or exiting the the tub. This is not only dangerous but may cause the
door to not seal properly.
•
If the tub to be installed has an outward-swinging door, the door should be left unlatched but engaged in the door
frame catch when not in use to preserve the life of the door seal.
•
Wipe the door seal and jamb clean of dirt or debris to ensure a proper seal.
•
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle cleaning compound or solution to remove residual buildup around or in
door drain. Wipe clean with a soft cloth.
2. Maintenance Panels
•
Electrical and plumbing components should be serviced by qualified service technicians only. Should
maintenance be required, the tub is equipped with two easily removable access panels (one large for
accessing beneath the seat and one small for accessing below the faucets). One easy-to-use suction cup
is included with each tub for access panel removal. To remove the panels, place the suction cup on the top
of the panel, pull outward gently to remove the upper magnets and lift the panel upwards to free the panel
from the lower clips.
3. tub Finish
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as rough sponges, pads, steel wool, sandpaper or brushes directly on
the tub finish as they will scratch the finish. If for some reason the tub finish becomes damaged, contact your
dealer or installer.
•
The anti-slip texture of the tub floor may cause residue to collect with use. Use a soft-bristled brush with
gentle cleaning compound or solution to loosen residue. Rinse clean.
•
After each use, rinse all exposed surfaces of the walk-in tub with clear warm water, then wipe off all standing
water until completely dry. Once a week, wash all exposed surfaces of the bathtub with mild soap solution.
Check for stubborn spots. Oily or greasy spots can be lifted with denatured alcohol. Use Lime-A-Way or
comparable product to remove hard water stains.
•
To preserve the tub finish, waxing is recommended. Regular use of a quality marine wax will maintain the
finish of your walk-in tub. To maintain gel coat finish and shine, occasionally apply and buff in Gel-Gloss
or comparable product.
4. Faucets, handspray, Grab Bar, Drain and overflow
•
If no slide bar is installed, leave handspray in deck mount cradle when not in use. Be careful not to allow
water to drip down the hole in the deck mount when the handspray is removed.
