10. Removing the Apron Panel
To remove the apron panel, insert the edge of a flat blade screwdriver or dull knife under the edge
of the panel. Be careful not to scratch the visible surfaces. Gently pry up at one end. Carefully pull
the apron panel off.
To reinstall, bow the apron panel slightly so both ends can be inserted at the same time. Gently
press in the center of the panel to secure it in place.
11. Clean-Up After Installation
Clean the area around the blower motor of all dust and debris.
Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface of the bath with airjets. Do not use
abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the surface. Do not use powdered cleaners unless
the cleaner is fully dissolved in water. Solid substances could block the airjets. Do not use bleach
