WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD). Grounding is required. The unit should
be installed by a qualified service representative and grounded.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. A licensed electrician must route all electrical wiring and
connections for this product. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard and may not
comply with local building and electrical codes.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before servicing.
WARNING: Risk of injury or property damage. Please read all instructions thoroughly before
beginning installation, including the following requirements.
WARNING: Risk of property damage. Building materials and wiring should be routed away from
the blower motor body and other heat-producing components of the unit.
NOTICE: Follow all local plumbing and electrical codes.

The installation must have a Class A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device
(RCD). The GFCI or RCD protects against line-to-ground shock hazard. Use a 120 V, 15 A, 60 Hz dedicated
service for the bath with airjets.
Product Notices
NOTICE: Keep the area around the blower motor clean and free of debris. Ensure that the area around the
blower motor is free of sawdust, insulation, dirt, or other small loose debris. Such material could clog the
blower motor air ducts and reduce the air flow through the blower.
Factory-Assembled Features
Factory installed components include blower motor with power supply cord, check valve, air piping, user
keypad, and keypad cable. Other than power wiring and plumbing, no assembly is needed.

Before You Begin
NOTICE: Do not lift the bath with airjets by the piping or blower motor, or use the piping or blower
motor for structural support of the bath.
We recommend this bath with airjets for drop-in installation.
Please read these instructions carefully to familiarize yourself with the required tools, material, and
installation sequences. Follow the sections that pertain to your particular installation. This will help
you avoid costly mistakes. In addition to installation instructions, read all operating and safety
instructions.
The variety of installations possible with this bath may require framing procedures other than those
described in this manual.
Inspect the bath with airjets for damage before you begin installation.
Both concrete and wood frame construction techniques are discussed in this manual.
You must install this bath to an adequately supported, level subfloor.
Confirm adequate mounting and connection space for the faucet specified for your installation.
An optional accessories kit is available for relocating the blower motor. Refer to the back cover for
contact information if this kit is desired but was not ordered. If relocating the blower motor, follow

1. Prepare the Site
NOTICE: Do not support the bath by the rim.
NOTICE: Refer to the Roughing-in Guide packed with this product for proper minimum lbs/square foot
(kg/square meter) floor support loading.
NOTICE: Provide adequate ventilation and a minimum of 15 cubic feet (.4 cubic meters) in the installed
location for cooling the motor and to supply sufficient air for the blower. Do not install the blower motor
closer than 1″(2.5 cm) from the wall or other objects.
Make sure the floor offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
This bath may be installed in a drop-in or island installation. An island installation requires a four
side surround.
Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing designed for your particular installation.
Provide for a 1/16″(2 mm) gap between the bottom of the bath rim and the stud framing. Frame
the floor, or construct a frame for a raised installation in accordance with the roughing-in
information packed with the bath with airjets.
For a drop-in installation, carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material. Use the cutout template
if one is provided, or refer to the roughing-in cutout information.
For an island installation, construct a 2x4 frame in accordance with the roughing-in information
packed with the bath with airjets.
Install an access panel to allow the blower motor to be serviced.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and
check for leaks.
Frame the floor
according to the
roughing-in information.
Position the
rough plumbing.
Verify that the subfloor
offers adequate support,
and is flat and level.
Provide a 1/16" (2 mm)
gap between the bath
rim and framing.
Construct 2x4 or
2x6 stud framing
according to the

location for cooling the motor and to supply sufficient air for the blower. Do not install the blower motor
closer than 1″(2.5 cm) from the wall or other objects.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
This bath may be installed in a drop-in or in an island installation. An island installation requires a
four side surround. In both instances, make sure the deck is supported by brick or concrete.
Install an access panel to allow the blower to be serviced.
Construct brick or concrete supports.
Provide a 1/16″(2 mm) gap between the bath rim and the concrete or brick framing. Frame the
floor, or construct a frame for a raised installation, in accordance with the roughing-in information
packed with the bath.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and
check for leaks.
3. Prepare the Bath with Airjets

4. Secure the Unit
NOTICE: Do not lift the bath with airjets by the air channels or blower motor, or use the piping or blower
motor for structural support of the bath.
NOTICE: Do not support the bath by the rim.
Choose the installation option that best applies to your particular installation. Follow the
appropriate instructions.
If the subfloor is not level, shim the bath support blocks as necessary.
Option Using a Cement or Mortar Bed
NOTICE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound for this application, as they will not provide
an acceptable, durable bond.
Spread a 2″(5.1 cm) thick layer of cement or mortar on the subfloor where the bath will be set. This
will help secure, level, and support the unit. Clear all the material away from the support block
locations.
Position a piece of plastic drop cloth material on top of the cement or mortar bed.
With help, carefully lift the bath into place, and make sure the support blocks do not rest in the bed
material.
Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the bath is level and resting on all support blocks.
Remove the protective tape from the rim. Apply a continuous bead of high-quality silicone sealant
around the entire rim of the bath.
Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Option Using Construction Adhesive
Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of the support blocks.
With help, carefully lift the bath into position.
Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the bath is level and resting on all support blocks.
Remove the protective tape from the rim. Apply a continuous bead of high-quality silicone sealant
around the entire rim of the bath.

Concrete Construction
If you have not already done so, carefully remove the protective tape from the bath rim.
Apply mortar and tile to the wall and surround material as needed.
Apply a bead of sealant where the tile meets the bath surface. Allow the sealant to cure in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Install the faucet trim according to the trim manufacturer’s instructions.
9. 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
or ammonia cleaning solutions. Chemically active cleaning solutions can damage the bath surface.
Refer to the homeowners guide for normal cleaning recommendations.

10. Confirm Proper Operation
Fill the Bath
NOTICE: Ensure that the area around the blower motor is free of sawdust, insulation, dirt, or other small
loose debris. Such material could clog the blower motor air ducts and reduce the air flow through the
blower motor.
