A. The following installation practices

to avoid any potential

damage to the enamel finish.

must be followed

WARNING:

Failure to follow the manufacturer's

recommended installation method may result in

damage to the enamel surface.

Do not use sharp objects or metal tools when

handling the bath, especially around the rim area.

Use a clear protective plastic film over tub rim as

well as the bottom of tub to safeguard from dirt and

silicone during the installation process.

For correct installation, bath rim should not come in

direct contact with the walls and/or horizontal

surfaces to avoid transmission of noise and vibration

as well as potential cracks in the enamel finish.

The necessary gap between bath rim and the wall is

2 mm horizontally and 4 mm vertically. Refer to

figures 1, 2, and 3 below.

Before placing setting-in the bath, apply a sanitary

quality silicone filler on all surfaces to come in

contact with the bath rim.

Set the bath in its correct position.
