Installation Guide

After the bedding material has been poured and before it sets,
lower the shower base into position with the drain assembly sliding
over the waste pipe as shown in Fig. D. It will be necessary to "rock"
the shower base until the top of the tile flange aligns with the lines
drawn in Step 3 on the stud walls. Make certain the apron is
contacting the rough floor along the entire length of the shower base.
Ensure that the base is level in two directions (see Fig. E). Snap
strainer back into place and check for proper drainage.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Your American Standard shower base is designed to last indefinitely with reasonable
care and maintenance.
The high-gloss acrylic surface is resistant to impact and retains its luster with proper care and
maintenance. An integral, slip-resistant surface is incorporated for user safety.
General Cleaning: Do not use abrasive cleaners; a mixture of warm water and a mild liquid
detergent is adequate for most cleaning. Strong detergents formulated for use on tile or
porcelain-enamel surfaces should be avoided.
Caution: Do not allow liquid detergent containers to remain on base surfaces for more than a
few moments. Do not use Lestoil, Windex, Mr. Clean, Dow Disinfectant (spray or concentrate),
or Lysol Basin, Tub and Tile Cleaner. Do not allow nail polish remover, dry cleaning fluid,
acetone, paint remover, or other solvents to contact acrylic surface.

Tape over the strainer to protect the finish and prevent construction
debris from entering the drain.
