WARNING: When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a circuit protected by a Ground-Fault
Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI)*. Grounding is required. The unit should be installed and grounded by a
qualified service representative.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. A qualified electrician should route all electrical wiring.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before servicing.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not operate electrical powered auxiliary devices near water.
WARNING: Risk of property damage. Building materials and wiring should be routed away from
the heat-producing components of the bath.
WARNING: Risk of injury or property damage. Please read all instructions thoroughly before
beginning installation.
NOTICE: Follow all plumbing, electrical, and building codes.
*Outside North America, this device may be known as a Residual Current Device (RCD).
Product Information
Electrical Requirements
WARNING: Risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury. Do not operate the heater if the power
supply cord is damaged. For proper guidance to have this product repaired, please call:
1-800-4KOHLER from within the USA or Canada, or 001-800-456-4537 from within Mexico.
This installation must have a Class A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI)*. The GFCI protects against
line-to-ground shock hazard. Use a 120 V, 15 A, 60 Hz dedicated service for the bath.
Two 120 V, 15 A (240 V, 15 A in Latin America) GFCI electrical outlets are required. One outlet should be
located within the stud framing and within 24″ (610 mm) of the control amplifier. The other outlet must be
within 24″ (610 mm) of the junction box mounted to the control board at the lumber end of the bath. Both
outlets may share the same electrical service, but no other load should be on this circuit.
*Outside North America, this device may be known as a Residual Current Device (RCD).
Factory-Assembled Features
Factory installed components include heated surface with power supply cord, transducers, and
chromatherapy lights (if equipped). Other than power wiring and plumbing, no assembly is needed.

2. Prepare the Site
NOTICE: Measure your product for site preparation. Note the model number on the back side of the
bath, then visit the product page at www.kohler.com for additional information.
NOTICE: Do not support the load weight of the bath by the rim.
Framing
Ensure the floor offers adequate support for the bath and verify the subfloor is level. Install
additional support and adjust for level as needed.
NOTE: This bath is designed for drop-in or island installation. If a deck-mount faucet will be installed,
plan a space on the deck to accommodate the faucet.
NOTE: Use wood or concrete framing. Wood framing will provide the best vibracoustic quality.
Construct the framing, taking into account the thickness of the finished materials.
Provide a 1/16″ (2 mm) gap between the framing and the underside of the bath rim to ensure the
bath is not supported by the rim.
IMPORTANT! Several of the included bath components will be powered by the control amplifier via 25’
(7.6 m) cables. Plan the location of the control amplifier so the cables will reach without tension.
NOTE: If installing the control amplifier between studs, stud spacing should be 16″ (406 mm).
Construct stud framing or a pocket for the control amplifier.
Provide a means to route the user interface cable through the wall to the control amplifier.
Plumbing
NOTE: For through-the-floor drain installation: cut a hole in the subfloor to accommodate the drain
connections.
Install the rough plumbing. Cap the supplies and check for leaks.
Attach the drain to the bath according to the instructions packed with the drain. Do not connect the
trap at this time.

Mortar Cement
Construction Adhesive
Apply construction
adhesive to the
support blocks.
3. Install the Bath
NOTICE: Ensure the subfloor is level before proceeding. Use shims as needed.
Secure the bath using one of the following two methods.
Cement or Mortar Bed Method
NOTICE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound, as these materials will not provide a durable
bond.
Spread a 2″ (51 mm) layer of cement or mortar bed on the subfloor.
With help, carefully lower the bath into place. Take precaution to avoid damaging the components
mounted to the bath.
Press the bath into the cement or mortar bed, leaving a 1/16″ (2 mm) gap between the deck and the
underside of the rim.
Verify the bath is level. Reposition or shim as needed.
Construction Adhesive Method
Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of the support blocks.
With help, carefully lower the bath into place. Take precaution to avoid damaging the components
mounted to the bath.
Press the bath onto the subfloor, leaving a 1/16″ (2 mm) gap between the deck and the underside of
the rim.
Verify the bath is level and resting on all support blocks. Reposition or shim as needed.
4. Install the Plumbing
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on all bath drain connections to
prevent water leakage.
Connect the drain to the trap.
Install the faucet valve according to the faucet manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install the faucet
trim at this time.
Open the hot and cold water supplies. Check all connections for leaks.
Fill the bath to the overflow and check the drain connections for leaks.

8. Install the Control Amplifier
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect the control amplifier to a properly grounded,
grounding-type receptacle protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual
Current Device (RCD). Do not remove the grounding pin from the plug or use a grounding adapter.
IMPORTANT! Keep insulating materials away from the control amplifier. Provide an unobstructed air
space around the control amplifier to permit cooling.
NOTE: Do not remove the mounting brackets from the control amplifier.
Position the amplifier flush or recessed from the front of the studs.
Using the wood screws provided, secure the control amplifier to the framing. Use the anchors
provided if securing to a wall material other than wood.
NOTE: To make wiring connections more accessible, temporarily secure the control amplifier with one
screw on each side to allow the amplifier to tilt forward. Once wiring connections are made, secure the
control amplifier with the remaining screws.
Remove the cover from the control amplifier by removing the four screws. Retain for reinstallation.
NOTE: The transducer terminals and wires are numbered to identify the correct connections. When
required, the control amplifier can be removed to aid in the wire connection process.
Securely attach the transducer wires to the transducer terminals. The white with black wires are the
positive (+) leads.
If equipped, connect the chromatherapy connector to the chromatherapy terminal.
Connect the inter-connect cable from the control box to the amplifier.
If used, connect the optional auxiliary-in RCA connectors to the auxiliary-in terminals.
Reinstall the cover to the control amplifier with the four screws.
Plug the control amplifier into the electrical outlet.
Plug the junction box cord into the electrical outlet.
