noted;
TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT, PLEASE REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FILM AND
INSPECT BEFORE INSTALLATION.

Care of bath - for the installer:
Keep under cover in a clean, dry, weather-proof place.
Do not drop. Protect completely during and after installation (with clean felt etc.).
When making joint to waste, overflow etc. on this product, DO NOT use linseed
oil putty or similar based sealing compounds. Ensure rubber washers supplied
with waste fittings are located correctly to give watertight seal.
Test the fittings and then do not use the bath for any other purpose.
Please leave this leaflet for the end user to read.
WARNING
1. Filling.
It is advisable always to run in some cold water before turning on
the hot tap.
2. Cleaning.
The bath should always be cleaned immediately after use, preferably
whilst the water is running out and the bath is still warm. The film of insoluble soap
products, body fats and grime which will otherwise harden on the side of the bath is
easily removed at this stage. In hard water districts insoluble lime salts are deposited
below the waterline and under leaking taps. If this deposit is allowed to build up, it
becomes increasingly difficult to remove and looks unsightly. Prompt cleaning is again
the answer. Hot soapy water with a cloth should be used and the bath wiped dry.
3. Cleaners of a gritty or abrasive nature should never be used.
Worn washers on
dripping taps should be replaced.
4. Chemicals.
Acrylic has good resistance properties to acids and alkalis but should
not be allowed to come into contact with organic solvents such as dry cleaning agents
and paint strippers.
5. Removal of scratches.
In the event of slight scratches in the bath surface a mild
abrasive, similar to metal polish, can be used to polish these out.
6. Burning cigarettes
should not be allowed to come into contact with the surface of
this bath or damage may ensue.
