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.
Note: Allow the bedding material to completely harden before
applying weight to the bottom of the shower base.
Tape over the strainer to protect the finish and prevent
construction debris from entering the drain.
Finish installation as shown in Figure G.

Lift and lower base over center

After leveling base on subfloor, use base and mark studs. This will be
the installed height of shower base. Mix the low-shrink bedding material
(grout, mortar, plaster, etc.). Concrete is not recommended. Apply
enough bedding material to support the entire bottom of the shower
base. The bedding material must not be used under the apron
(front edge).

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. E. 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.
Insure that the base is level in two directions (see Fig. F). Snap
strainer back into place and check for proper drainage.
