INSTALLATION
Remove the product from its packaging. Read the entire
instructions prior to installing this product.
See the USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS on page
5 for humidity and mold prevention suggestions prior
to Installation.
1. Position the template to the finished floor in its desired
location. Transfer the centerlines of the template to the
finished floor.
CAUTION: Use a marker, or tape that can be removed
from the finished floor after installation.
Tape the template to the finished floor using care to align
both centerlines and assure that the template is laying flat
on floor. See Figure 2 and Figure 2-A.
2. Cut or punch through the template and mark the floor
where the two lines will represent the location of the interior
bottom supports.
3. Cut or fold back the template to mark the outside of the
base lines. This will locate where the outside of the base
will be aligned.
With a straight edge and the marks from earlier, mark the
two lines on the floor, where the two bottom support ribs
will sit. The supports are approximately ½” [13mm] wide
and run the length of the base.
Figure 1-A
5. Attach the bath drain to the floor drain “P” trap.
CAUTION: Only dry fit the drain to the “P” trap at this time.
Leave the drain assembly free standing in the “P” trap.
6. Place the bath using caution not to scratch the surface.
Align the bath with the centerlines of the template. Assure
that the drain is positioned properly. Remove the bath and
the template.
7. Apply 1/4” to 3/8” [6 to 10mm] bead of adhesive
approximately 2” [5cm] from the end opposite the sump,
and all the way to the sump area. Apply the adhesive in a
zig-zag pattern, back and forth across the lines. This will
insure the supports locate in the adhesive. See Figure 2
and Figure 2-A..
8. Place 4 small blocks, 3/4” [19mm] thick at the edge line
of the base, to support the bath above the adhesive, until
it is aligned into place. Place the bath on the blocks and
align it with the marks created in step 1 above.
9. Once the bath is placed, remove the blocks one at a time,
and assure alignment with the marks. Now permanently
attach the drain tee to the “P” trap.
Allow 24 hours before using the bath to insure that the
adhesive has fully cured.
10. Fill the bath and check for any leaks.

HUMIDITY
WARNING: Avoid high humidity levels in your home. Mold, mildew,
fungi,andbacteriawhichmaybeharmfultohealththriveinareaswith
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. Clean and disinfect humidifier and dehumidifiers as
recommended by the manufacturer. Replace the air filter
on the HVAC unit once a month.
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 AND SURFACE MAINTENANCE
The Carrera® Composite solid surface is nonporous. Stains,
mold, mildew, or bacteria cannot penetrate the surface.
When frequently cleaned, the Carrera®Composite solid sur-
face will maintain its original beauty and resist any signs of
wear and aging for years to come. Since the Carrera®Com-
posite solid surface is homogeneous and evenly solid, surface
damage can be easily removed by using extra fine abrasive
paper and cleaning with traditional abrasive detergents.
For most dirt and residue, use soapy water or ammonia cleaner;
rinse and wipe dry. For the occasional stubborn residue, use
a cleaner like Clorox Soft Scrub and a 3M Scotch Brite pad
(green) to remove the residue.
Occasional disinfecting can be preformed by wiping the sur-
face with diluted household bleach (1 part water and 1 part
bleach). Rinse the surface with water and wipe dry. When
using a bleach solution, care must be taken not to get any in
your eyes or on bare skin. You should always wear gloves
and eye protection when working with bleach.
The Carrera®Composite solid surface should not be exposed
to strong chemicals, such as, paint remover, oven cleaners,
hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, chloride solvents (tri-
chloroethylene) or any strong acids or bases.
REPAIR
Refer all plumbing or surface repair to a qualified service
technician. Remember when contacting your dealer or service
representative to always have your serial number, proof of
purchase, and model number. This will ensure a quick re-
sponse on warranty items. The serial number can be found
on the label adhered to the bath.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL WARRANTY REPAIRS MUST BE AUTHORIZED
BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE WORK IS STARTED.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS.
This manual contains information and instructions for proper operation and maintenance of your therapy bath. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in personal injury, electrical shock, or fire.
WARNING: WHEN USING THIS UNIT, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:
A. Do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
B. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
C. The water in a therapy bath should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F
(40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Use time should be limited to approximately 30 minutes, followed by
a shower to cool down. Longer exposures may result in hyperthermia. The symptoms of this condition are nausea,
dizziness and fainting, and it can be fatal. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding
10 -15 minutes) and for young children.
D. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit therapy bath water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
E. The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during therapy bath use may lead to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning. Never use the therapy bath while under the influence of alcohol, anticoagulants, stimulants,
antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, hypnotics, narcotics, or tranquilizers.
F. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes
should consult a physician before using a therapy bath.
G. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a therapy bath since some medication may induce
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, enter and exit the bath slowly.
WARNING:NEVER OPERATE ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED DEVICES IN OR NEAR THE BATH. NEVER DROP OR INSERT ANY OBJECT INTO ANY
OPENING.
This unit must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a GFCI. Such a device should be installed by a licensed
electrician and should be tested on a regular basis (at least monthly). To test the GFCI push the TEST button. The GFCI
should interrupt the power. Push the RESET button and the power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this
manner, there is the possibility of an electric shock. DO NOT USE. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service technician.
To avoid the possibility of personal injury and discoloration of the acrylic surface, the inlet water temperature should not
exceed 104°F (40°C). The bath should be drained after each use. Each bather should start their bath with fresh water. Do
not use oil base additives in your therapy bath.
CAUTION: Do not use harsh abrasives or solvents for cleaning this unit.
