CAUTION: Risk of Personal Injury.
Get extra help when moving the bathtub into its final position.
1.
Use a level to make sure the bathtub is level in all direction. (Fig. 2)
2. Adjust the feet under the tub as needed.
3. It is recommended to leave a 1/16” to 1/8” gap all around the base of the bathtub.
4.
Close the drain and remove any debris or plastic films from the tub. Wipe the surface clean with a
piece of soft cloth.
5.
Fill the tub with some water and test the drainage to make sure the water drains freely. Also
check for any leaks around the drain and pipe. (
NOTE:
Due to surface tension, it is normal for a
small amount of water to pool around the drain)
6. Apply a continuous bead of clear or color matching silicon sealant around the base of the bathtub
to complete the installation. (Fig. 3) (
NOTE:
let silicon sealant cure for at least 12 hours before
using the tub.)

• Most dirt will wash off with mild soap and warm water.
• For tough spots, use liquid dish washing soap or non-chlorine bleach.
• Do not use abrasive material such steel wool or scouring pads to clean the acrylic surface.
• Always test the cleaning solution on a small area before using it on the entire surface.
• Do not allow cleaning to soak on the acrylic surface.
• Rinse thoroughly with water immediately and wipe dry with soft cloth.
•
Use liquid polish compound such as Gel-Gloss Kitchen and Bath Polish
(TM)
to keep the original
shine of acrylic surface.
• Light scratches can be removed with polishing compound for automobiles.
• For deeper scratches use wet sandpaper (1500 grit or higher). Always add water when sanding
and lightly sand the area larger than the scratch in a circular motion to remove the scratches.
Repeat until the scratch is removed. Use soft cloth and small amount of polishing compound to
restore shine. Repeat as needed until surface shine is restored.
