Bath Operation - Kohler K-45600X Installation And Care Manual

Install the Bath (Cont.)
E. Seal the Bath Rim
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not
support the weight of the bath by the rim. For
sunken type installation, construct the ceramic
or marble tiles. Seal the joints between the bath
rim and the tiled wall with silicone sealant.
F. Drilling And Cutting Acrylic
DRILLING: Small holes can be drilled with a twist drill,
but the cutting edge MUST be backed off with an oil
stone (the sharp edge dulled). Large holes must be
drilled with a hole saw. Maximum drill size-12mm.
Drill speeds-6mm x 1800 RPM-12 mm x 900 RPM.
NOTE: Always drill from acrylic surface.
CUTTING: If for any reason the acrylic requires cutting, use a fine tooth hacksaw and proceed with caution.
Edges can be smoothed with a second-cut file and medium-fine sandpaper. If the surface of the acrylic should
happen to be damaged, it can be restored by polishing with an abrasive cleaner. Deep scratches can be removed
by rubbing with 600 grade wet & dry sandpaper then polishing.
G. 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.

Bath Operation

A. Fill the Bath
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Ensure that the area around the blower motor is free of sawdust,
insulation, dirt, or other small loose debris. Such material could clog the blower motor air ducts and
reduce the air flow through the blower motor.
NOTE: Please read these steps carefully before you operate your bath with airjets. Troubleshoot any problems
using the "Troubleshooting" section.
NOTE: Please do not use the bath in case of outage. In this case, the electronic drain automatically opens and the
bath can not be filled with water.
