13. Complete the Finished Wall

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.

14. 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. Do not use abrasive
cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the bath 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.
