INSPECTION
Thoroughly inspect the shower bath upon receipt, especially if
the shipping carton is damaged, to insure it was not damaged
during transit. If damage is discovered it must be noted on the
bill of lading and a freight claim must be properly filed with the
carrier. The installer is responsible for insuring that the unit is
free from defects or damage before installation. In the event of
a problem the unit MUST NOT be installed.
Damage to the unit during installation is the
responsibility of the installer. ALL WARRANTY CLAIMS ON
ACRYLIC SURFACE MUST BE MADE PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION. Inspect the base and accessories for
missing or damaged components. Alert your distributor of any
discrepancies. To protect unit from damage, keep shower bath
in carton until ready for installation.
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Read all instructions carefully before beginning installation.
Protect the acrylic shower bath surface from damage during
installation with a suitable material, i.e., cardboard and/or
plastic film. Position the shower bath in the area of intended
installation. The approximate shower bath dimensions are
shown in Figure 3, "SHOWER BATH DIMENSIONS."
Construct the framing to support the shower bath's lip if the
shower bath is to be installed in an alcove (See Figure 1). A
finish frame should be constructed under the shell rim to
support the shower bath lip and level the shower bath deck to
assist the draining of any water on the deck of the shower bath
into the bath well. This frame is not intended to support the full
shower bath weight (See Figure 1).100% Silicone with mildew
resistant properties should be applied between the water
resistant backer board and the deck of the bath.
Install the drain and overflow assembly to the shower bath shell
according to the instructions and position the shower bath in
the area of intended installation.
NOTE: The shower bath is equipped with a pre-leveled
full support base designed to provide level support if installed
on a firm, level, and flat surface (See Figure 1). Mortar is
required when the subfloor is not smooth and level.
See USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS on page 2 for
humidity and mold prevention suggestions prior to Instal-
lation.

HUMIDITY
Warning: Avoid high humidity levels in your home. Mold,
mildew, fungi and bacteria which may be harmful to health thrive
in areas with continued high humidity levels; therefore, every
precaution should be taken to make sure your plumbing fixtures
including bathtubs, therapy baths or showers do not become a
source of high humidity due to improper installations or leaks.
To avoid having your plumbing fixtures become a source
of unwanted humidity, please make sure the following
steps are taken prior to installation.
1. Make sure the area where the bathtub or shower is installed
is well vented and allows enough ventilation and air circulation
to dry the bathroom environment within a short time after
taking a bath or shower.
2. If your bath or shower unit is tiled-in, use units with an integral
tile flange or make sure a tile flange kit or a similar mechanical
barrier is installed to prevent shower spray, splash or
overflow to leak behind the bathtub.
3. Make sure the plumber properly tests your therapy bath
before it is roughed in to make sure there are no leaks and
it is installed with proper access to bath equipment.
4. Make sure that all the plumbing and fixtures in the bathroom
are in good working order and have no leaks.
5. Do not use carpeting or other materials or furniture, which can
hold moisture in your bathroom.
6. Use disinfectant to clean any bathroom surfaces, which are
regularly exposed to moisture.
7.Cleanhumidifiers,dehumidifiersandairconditioningcondensing
units regularly with a disinfectant such as chlorine bleach and
replace filters as needed.
8. Clean moldy surfaces as soon as any mold appears by
using a detergent/soapy solution and appropriate household
cleaner. Always use gloves during cleaning. Dispose of
any sponges or rags used to clean mold.
CLEANING
With minimum care, the acrylic surface of your shower bath will
retain its high luster finish for many years. For regular cleaning
use a soft, wet cloth or sponge and a mild nonabrasive liquid
detergent. Rinse the base thoroughly after cleaning. (Never use
abrasive or grit type powder cleaners or pads to avoid dulling of
the acrylic surface.)
SURFACEMAINTENANCE
Areas with minor scratches or dull surfaces can be restored by
applying commercially available plastic polish (i.e. Novus Plas-
tic Polish No. 2, available from a Jason distributor and where
automotive supplies are sold), followed by an application of
acrylic paste wax. Buff the surface with a clean soft cloth. Do
not use sandpaper, steelwool, or abrasive rubbing compounds.
If scratches are too deep to rub out, or if the damage penetrates
the acrylic surface, consult your dealer for recommendations on
surface repair.

All dimensions
