Built-in Bathtub Installation

surface to avoid scratches, secure the hexagon socket cap screw and nylon foot insert
into the corresponding bath legs.
Adjust the feet, the feet are adjustable for 10mm to get the bathtub horizontal and can be
used either alone or with the sand. It should be noted that there must be at least 10mm
of the pedestal in the plastic to ensure strength. Apply SANSTIK around the base of the
bathtub to ensure that the bath does not shift.

either brick or drywall according to
the bathtub specifications.

Care And Maintenance
To ensure you can enjoy your DADOquartz® product for many years, we recommend
you follow the maintenance and cleaning instructions below.
Routine Care
- Wash the DADOquartz® bathtub and basin with warm soapy water and a soft cloth
after installation to remove any marks left behind after delivery and installation.
- Never expose the DADOquartz® product to petroleum-based products, such as paint
removers, oven cleaners or other solvents (Note: personal hygiene products and
cosmetics will not damage the surface).
- Stains should be treated and removed within 24 hours.
Standard Cleaning
- For standard cleaning of both gloss and matte finishes, multipurpose bathroom
cleaning products should be used. Matte white finished products may occasionally
require a mildly abrasive product.
- Highly abrasive products should be avoided, such products contain ammoniac as
an ingredient and trichlorethane or methylene chloride. Use a mild detergent or the
DADOquartz® surface cleaner on all DADOquartz® products.
- Tools required for cleaning are a damp cloth or sponge and a mild cleaning agent such
the DADOquartz® surface cleaner.
Scratches
Should one ever encounter a scratch on the surface of the polished or matte white
DADOquartz® bathtub or basin it can easily be removed using “wet n dry 400 grit”
sandpaper. Apply with water and gently sand out the scratch in a circular motion. Ensure
there is no surface dirt by flushing with water.
DADOquartz® Matte and Polished Finish
- We recommend sanding the area in a gentle circular motion, starting with 800-grit
sandpaper for polished finish and 220-grit sandpaper for matte finish.
- Use a higher grit sandpaper to blend the repaired area to match the existing product
finish.
- For polished finish, finish by polishing the surface using a cloth and white polishing
compound for automobiles.
