GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your vendor
immediately.

After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction damage. After installation, and before
enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., water test the unit and check for leaks.

Do not make modifications to the whirlpool system or remove pump from factory mounting. This could adversely affect
the safety and performance of the whirlpool and void the warranty. Do not handle or move the whirlpool by the pump,
motor, or piping system.

Fittings (bath filler, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with the bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and
enclosing materials are provided by others. Check for availability of optional American Standard wall tiling bead
(required for recess installations).

Protect all finished surfaces of the whirlpool during construction and installation using a drop cloth.

WARNING! Do not lift whirlpool by the piping harness at any time.

FOR AFTER-SALES SERVICE CALL 1 [phone] WEEKDAYS.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

All wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the national electrical code and all other
applicable codes.

WARNING:

When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be observed, including the following:

1. DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter.

2. Grounding is required. The unit should be installed by a licensed electrician and grounded.

3. Install to permit access for servicing.

4. All building materials and wiring should be routed away from the pump body and heater (if equipped).

The whirlpool should be installed on a 120 vac, 15 amp dedicated circuit. The circuit should be hard-wired from the
electrical power supply panel. The circuit must be a three (3) wire circuit from the electrical supply panel. A grounded
neutral wire and a third wire, earth ground, are essential. ADDING THE SAFE-T-HEATER REQUIRES A SEPARATE

15 AMP MAXIMUM GFCI CIRCUIT.

DRAIN CONNECTION AND SYSTEM TEST

Using recommended drain opening, connect whirlpool drain to waste line. Tighten all drain joints securely. Check the
pump couplings and make sure they are hand-tight. Clean the whirlpool and fill with water to a point 2" above the top of
the highest jet. Recheck the pump couplings and make certain that they are not leaking. (Although the pump couplings
are factory tightened and inspected, some loosening may have occured during transit.) Make sure the whirlpool is
connected to the electrical supply and turn the whirlpool on. Check for leaks around all piping connections while the
whirlpool is running.

POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP

12 12 10 8

The sizes shown on this

chart are recommendations

for copper conductors

only. Always follow

local and national

electrical codes

Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor.
Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface.

Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or
stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span® mixed with water.

Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.

HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON ENAMEL SURFACES.

Abrasive cleaners must not be used since they will scratch and dull the surface. Dulled areas can be restored by rubbing
with a white automotive-type polishing compound and waxing with a liquid wax.
