MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE GENTIANA HANDLE
On the Gentiana bathtub, the
handle is mounted to the middle of
the curved part of the bathtub, close
to the drain control. We recommend
that you test the position of the
handle with the control for the drain
already mounted.
The recommended position for the handle is approximately 30 to 35mm from the
upper edge of the bathtub to the lengthwise axis of the handle. In the optimal
position, the seated surface of the handle should follow the curvature of the
bathtub. The slight springiness of the handle allows it to be pressed into the exact
place to conform with the shape of the bathtub.
Place the handle into the desired position and with a soft pencil mark the exact
shape of the seating part of the handle onto the bathtub.
The axis of the handle should be level with the upper edge of the bathtub.
Remove the backing paper from the template and seat the clear, self-adhering foil
of the template over the pre-marked shapes on the bathtub so that the letter
is to
the outside and the letter
is towards the inside of the handle (see picture).
Adjust it so that the template is evenly spaced between the marks along the entire
perimeter. Repeat this step for the other side. Visually check that the marked
holes are correct by placing the handle over them.

In the marked places on the inner side of the bathtub, drill holes of 3 mm in
diameter. Now, widen the holes to a width of 8,5mm. Drill very carefully! Use only
light pressure when drilling quickly and keep the drill upright (on the same angle
as the threads of the handle).
Before final placement of the handle, place a small amount of silicone on the outer
side of the holes, under the washers.

Put the handle in place and tighten the M8 screws and washers from the under
side of the bathtub. (Slight adjustments can be made by drilling the holes to
a maximum of 10mm!).
Tighten the screws normally. Over-tightening of the screws can cause
deformation of the handle.
