Installation Guide

Before You Begin (cont.)
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Do not install the whirlpool over open floor joists. The basin area
requires no additional support when the subfloor is level and square with the stud framing. Install the
whirlpool on an adequately supported, level subfloor. Use shims for additional support if the subfloor is
uneven.
Read all instructions before you begin.
Observe all applicable plumbing, electrical, and building codes.
This whirlpool is designed for alcove installations.
Upon receipt, check for shortages or damage. Report any shortages or damage immediately.
Do not remove the old fixture before you unpack and inspect the new unit.
Store the whirlpool and wall surrounds in a safe place until you begin installation to avoid damage.
If remodeling, measure the existing framework before removing the old whirlpool to make sure that
the new whirlpool will fit. Make sure that the drain is in the correct location.
Confirm adequate mounting and connection space for the water supply and drain installation.
The apron panel is not removable on whirlpool units.
