Provide an opening in the subfloor no less than 5" x 5"
square. This opening should be located on the center
lines of the shower base drain hole.
STEP 2
Remove the stainless steel strainer from the drain
assembly. Disassemble the locknut and two gaskets
from the back of the drain assembly. Apply a 1/4" bead

Place cement board or equivalent on top of shower
base flange and secure to studwall.
Applytile(orotherfinishingmaterial)leavinga1/8"gap

unsealed tiled grout.
BASE INSTALLATION
CLEAN UPAFTER BASE INSTALLATION
Toavoiddullingandscratchingtheacrylicsurfaceofthebase,neveruseabrasivecleaners. Amildliquiddetergent
and warm water clean soiled surfaces.
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or grout
can be removed if lightly rubbed with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge.
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing
alcohol).
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry
sandpaper. You can restore the glossy finish to the acrylic surface of the base with a special compound, Meguiar’s
#10 Mirror Glaze. If not available, use automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of automotive paste
wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface require refinishing. See your Jacuzzi Whirlpool
Bath©dealer for special instructions.

To adjust the flow and intensity, turn as shown. The
spray can also be turned to change the direction of the
spray.
Diverter Control
To turn ON water, turn the inner knob clockwise and
adjust for more or less flow.
The outer knob will divert the water to body sprays,
shower head (position shown), and foot temperature
tester. Waterflow is proportionalto each functionwhen

To turn ON press ON/OFF button or turn ON water at either shower tower.
The unit will then automatically go into a preheat cycle to heat the air
transmission pipes. There will be a 5 (five) minute pause while the system
preheats. During this time both LEDs will be ON. When ready for drying,
press the ON/OFF button. Heat and air flow will rise together (only at initial
start-up). After reaching the desired flow, the temperature may be de-
creased or increased using the Temperature button. The air flow may also
be adjusted.

Toremove anylime scalefrom theshower headand bodysprays, rubwith yourfinger theouter ringof nozzleson the
shower head and all nozzles on the body spray.
To clean the foot temperature tester, unscrew the nozzle and back flush the wire mesh filter. Do not use metal tools
(such as scissors or screwdrivers, etc.) to clean the body sprays, shower head or foot temperature tester.
To clean the base, simply use a mild, nonabrasive liquid detergent solution. You can protect and restore the gloss to
a dulled acrylic surface by applying Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze, a product specifically designed for use on acrylic
finishes. If Meguiar's is not available, an acrylic polish of equal quality or automotive paste wax is acceptable.
The glass can be cleaned with any glass-cleaning product available on the market.
Do not use abrasives, alcohol, acetone, ammonia or other solvents on any tower component.
The thermostatic valve has 2 screen filters that should be cleaned periodically. To remove the filters turn off hot and
cold supplies. Remove each water tower cover. Disconnect the supply hoses from the valve and remove filter from
the hose. Remove any debris. Reinstallation is the reverse of removal. Turn on hot and cold supply and check for
leaks before replacing tower cover.
