Bath

9. Complete the Finished Wall

NOTE: Your bath with airjets has an integral apron. It is designed so the finished wall material [1-1/2" (3.8
cm) maximum] will overlap the apron columns. The finished floor material [2" (5 cm) maximum] should
butt against the apron.
If you have not already done so, carefully remove the protective tape from the bath rim.
If necessary allow for deck-mounted valves and spout.
Cover the bath framing with water-resistant wall material. Seal the joints between the rim edge and
the water-resistant wall material with silicone sealant.
Tape and mud the water-resistant wall material. Install the finished wall to the water-resistant wall
material. Seal the joints between the bath rim and the finished wall material with silicone sealant.
Install the faucet trim according to the trim manufacturer's instructions.

10. Removing the Apron Panel

To remove the apron panel, insert the edge of a flat blade screwdriver or dull knife under the edge
of the panel. Be careful not to scratch the visible surfaces. Gently pry up at one end. Carefully pull
the apron panel off.
To reinstall, bow the apron panel slightly so both ends can be inserted at the same time. Gently
press in the center of the panel to secure it in place.

11. Clean-Up After Installation

Clean the area around the blower motor of all dust and debris.
Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface of the bath with airjets. Do not use
abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the surface. Do not use powdered cleaners unless
the cleaner is fully dissolved in water. Solid substances could block the airjets. Do not use bleach
or ammonia cleaning solutions. Chemically active cleaning solutions can damage the bath surface.
Refer to the homeowners guide for normal cleaning recommendations.
