Installation Procedure
Water Testing
1. Before water testing the bathtub, remove any construction
materials from the bathtub. Also remove the plastic liner/
protector.
2. If possible, fill the bathtub with warm water and mild
detergent. After draining the bathtub, rinse and if
necessary, use a non-abrasive multipurpose cleaner.
Note: To remove especially tough residue or stains, use
denatured alcohol or mineral spirits. If necessary, to remove
adhesive or glue, use products containing Xylene or Toluene.
WARNING

Follow all manufacturer's safety instructions for
silicone, denatured alcohol, and other solvents.
Solvent vapors are both flammable and hazardous

Personal injury can result from improperly handling or use
of products containing denatured alcohol, mineral spirits,
or other solvents. Always follow the manufacturer's
recommendations for the safe use of these products.
Ventilate any work area before beginning to apply silicone,

solvents used by the installer can be harmful
if used in an unventilated room. Always work in a well-

Care and Cleaning
The BT-3060 Bathtub is made of Natural Gloss Composite
reinforced polyester. The finish is stain and abrasion resistant;
however, the finish requires reasonable care.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Because cleaning products change over time, always check
the manufacturer's instructions to make sure it is compatible.
DO NOT use abrasive scouring powders, cleaners, or pads.
They will dull the finish and void the warranty.
Day-To-Day Cleanup
Simply wash regularly with warm water; use a soft cloth with a
mild liquid detergent such as Top Job, Ajax Liquid Cleaner, Mr.
Clean All Purpose Cleaner, or Glass Plus.
Remove hard water stains or mineral build-up with scale
removers such as Lime-Away.
Protect the finish with any fiberglass wax or automotive paste wax.
Caulking Joints
If silicone caulking was applied after installation of the wall
panels or tile, inspect the caulking joints monthly for damage
or any signs of separation from the mating surface. Cracks
in the caulking will allow water to leak into the surrounding
surfaces. Reapply caulking to any joint showing signs of
wear or cracking. Failure to inspect and repair caulking joints
will void the warranty.
