IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO
A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR INJURY TO PERSONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
!
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not permit children to use this unit without adult supervision.
!
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not operate this unit without the guard over the suction fitting.
!
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit electrical appliances (hair dryer, telephone, radio, etc.) within
60 inches (1524mm) of this unit.
!
WARNING: Risk of hyperthermia and possible drowning. People using medications and/or having adverse
medical history should consult a physician before using this product.
!
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not overfill unit before entering. Entering tub when filled more than 2/3
can cause overflow and slippery conditions. Exercise caution when entering and exiting.
!
WARNING: No Food or Alcoholic Beverages. Use of your bathtub immediately after meals is not
recommended. Avoid alcohol consumption before or during bathing. Alcoholic beverages can cause drowsiness or
hyperthermia resulting in loss of consciousness or even drowning.
!
WARNING: Pregnancy. If you are or think you may be pregnant, consult your physician before using the bathtub.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use any attachments not recommended by
American Standard.
The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is properly protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI,
push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI
fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the bathtub without the test button
being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this hydromassage
bathtub. Disconnect the hydromassage bathtub and have the problem corrected by a licensed electrician before using.

Installation and Framing Instructions
Each bath arrives ready for installation, completely equipped with the pump and plumbing
necessary for operation. However, a drain/overflow kit is required for each bath and it is
not included.
The variety of installations for this bath may require framing procedures other than those shown.
Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb, and square.
!
Remove the bath from the carton. Retain the shipping carton until satisfactory
inspection of the product has been made. Do not lift the bath by the plumbing at
any time; handle by the shell only.
!
All bath units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections
prior to shipping. Prior to installation and before enclosing with wallboard, tile,
etc., the bath must be filled with water and operated to check for leaks that may
have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling.
The sumps of these baths are supported by the feet and no additional sump
!
support is required. Once the bath is in place, the feet should be shimmed and
secured accordingly so the rim of the bath contacts the stringer or pier but
supports no weight.
Provisions must be made in all installations for an access opening for servicing the
!
bath pump. Unless an access opening of at least 12" x 24" (305mm x 610mm) is
provided, warranty service will not be performed. It is strongly recommended that an
additional opening be provided for access to drain components.
!
Each bath has a nominal length (L), width (W), and Height (H) along with a rim
height. Unless otherwise noted in the following rough-in references, assume
that the nominal tolerances are as much as +/-1/4 inch (6mm). Therefore, it is
strongly recommended that the installer build the surrounding structure after
receiving the actual bath. Structural measurements should be verified against
the actual bath received to ensure proper fit.
POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP
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.
