CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not support the bath by the rim. The bath must be
supported by the leveling blocks only.
NOTICE: Adequate floor support must be provided. Consult the roughing-in sheet packed with your bath
for specific floor loading requirements.
NOTICE: Provide adequate ventilation and a minimum of 15 cubic feet (.4 cubic meters) in the installed
location for cooling the motor and to supply sufficient air for the blower. Do not install the blower motor
closer than 1" (2.5 cm) from the wall or other objects.
NOTE: This bath may be installed in a drop-in or an island installation. An island installation requires a
four side surround.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
For a drop-in installation: Carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material. Use the cut-out
template if one is provided, or refer to the roughing-in cutout information.
For an island installation: Construct a 2x4 frame in accordance with the roughing-in information
packed with the bath.
Provide access panels as required to service the blower motor and control.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the supplies, and check for
