2 A.) THIS BATH MUST BE SUPPORTED ALONG IT'S ENTIRE BOTTOM. We recommend the use of mortar as bedding material (sand is not recommended). Apply enough bedding to support the complete bottom of the bath. After the bedding has been poured, and before it sets, position the bath within the recess until the rim is leveled against the leveling stringers (see "Typical Recess Installation") shown below. The rim of the bath MUST NOT support weight.

POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor. Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface. Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or ® stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span mixed with water. Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.
