A separate circuit, which must be protected by a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), is required. Install a duplex outlet to the
studwall underneath the bathtub, at least 4 inches above the floor.
The duplex outlet is not provided. Because these units are manufac-
tured with a safe, convenient Magic Touch whirlpool ON/OFF switch
on the bath itself, no remote switch or timer is necessary. If an op-
tional timer is desired, one is available from Asteria Company for 115
VAC operation.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a cir-
cuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
CAUTION: Operating the motor/pump without enough water in
the bath can cause leaking and permanent damage to the pump.
Before power is applied to the installation, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position to avoid pump damage.
Drain Information
A drain/overflow assembly (sold separately) must be installed on
the bath, water tested, and connected to the sanitary system of the
house. After opening the carton, inspect for damage and verify that
the kit is of the proper finish. In the Asteria Company drain/overflow
kit, note that the waste flange, strainer, overflow cover and cover
screws are packaged in a separate package within the kit to protect
the trim finish. Follow the installation instructions provided with the
drain/overflow kit. After the drain is fully installed, test for proper drain-
age. If the unit does not drain properly, rectify this condition before
proceeding with the installation. Asteria Company is not responsible
for removal and or reinstallation costs.
NOTE: Watertight installation of the drain is the installer's re-
sponsibility. Drain leakage is excluded from the Asteria Com-
pany warranty of this product.
Plumbing
Pump, jets, and suction fittings for the whirlpool system are fac-
tory plumbed in schedule 40 PVC piping.
All Asteria Company products are factory tested for proper opera-
tion and watertight connections prior to shipping. If leaks are de-
tected, notify your Asteria Company Dealer. Do not install the unit.
Water Supply
Consult local authorities for plumbing code requirements in your
area.
IMPORTANT: Proper installation of the fill spout plumbing and
compliance with local codes are the responsibility of the installer.
Asteria Company does not warrant connections of water supply
fittings and piping, fill systems, or drain/overflow systems. Nor
is it responsible for damage to the bath which occurs during
installation.
CAUTION: A nonflammable protective barrier must be placed
between soldering work and bath unit to prevent damage to the
bath.Suministro de AguaPRECAUCIÓN: Para que la tina no sufra
daños durante los trabajos de soldadura, coloque una barrera
protectora.
Clean-Up After Installation
To avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the bath, never use
abrasive cleaners. A mild liquid detergent and warm water will clean
soiled surfaces.
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools
will scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or grout can be removed
if lightly rubbed with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge.
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with paint thin-
ner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish can be
removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry sandpaper. You can
restore the glossy finish to the acrylic surface of the bath with a spe-
cial compound, Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze. If that is not available,
use automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of au-
tomotive paste wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface
will require refinishing. Ask your Asteria Company dealer for special
instructions.
