PRODUCT ASSEMBLY/ INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Product Assembly / Installation Instructions
Choose a surface on the wall surrounding
the tub where the VTech®Musical
Bubbles OctopusTM can be mounted
securely. The area should be clean and
dry before suctioning the unit to the wall.
For better suction, we suggest wetting
the suction cups before attaching to the
wall. Once the unit is attached to the wall,
test the strength of the suction by pulling gently on the unit. The
suction cups may not stick properly to textured tiles. We recommend
that the unit be removed from the wall after each use as the strength
of the suction cups cannot support prolonged use.

5. To remove the unit from the wall, pull
on the tabs on the back of the suction
cups.

water.
