READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.
2. Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
3. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
4. Do not operate this unit without the cover over the suction fitting.
5. The unit must be connected only to a dedicated electrical supply circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI must be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis by the homeowner.
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 there is a ground current flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock.
Do not use the tub. Disconnect the power and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative. Re-test
the GFCI, only when it is operating properly may the whirlpool tub be used.
6. A green colored terminal marked “Ground” is provided on the exterior of the control box. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent
in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The Metro Collection Tubs are manufactured from High-Quality HydroLuxe, a blend of both organic minerals
and the best in engineered composites. This blend combines a cast acrylic polymer for it’s benefits in durability
and bonding strength, and ATH which is derived from Bauxite Ore. Bauxite is an aluminum ore, found mostly in
tropical regions, and is the main source of aluminum. ATH is also natural fire-retardant. The nonporous surface
is able to prevent dirt from gathering and withstands stains better than the other materials. To keep this high
quality look on your Metro tub, please follow these instructions:
MATTE FINISH
• Remove dust with a soft damp cloth, for example; microfiber or calico cloths.
• Clean surface with water and any mild detergent or dish soap.
• For a more difficult stain such as oil, paint, ink or grease clean with rubbing alcohol and dry with a soft cloth.
• Please do not use any sharp objects because that might result in scratching the surface of the tub.
• Use 180 grit wet/dry sandpaper and clean it with a soft scrub.
GLOSS FINISH
• Clean with mild dish soap and water, any non abrasive product to clean high-gloss counter surfaces will work.
• Remove dust with a soft damp cloth, for example; microfiber or calico cloths.
• Clean oil, paint, ink or grease with rubbing alcohol and dry with a soft cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, it is not safe to use these on your glossed product.
• Please do not use any sharp objects because that might result in scratching the surface of the tub.
Please do not use anything else other than what was instructed. Improper use can result in damage to the tub or
its finish and may void the warranty. Keep in mind, if you do end up damaging the tub, scratches can usually be
removed, buffed or polished out by an Authorized Hydro Systems Service Agent.
