Installation Guide

11. Complete the Finished Wall
If you have not already done so, carefully remove the protective tape from the whirlpool rim.
Cover the framing with water-resistant wall material.
Tape and mud the water-resistant wall material. Install the finished wall to the water-resistant wall
material.
Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim and the finished wall material with silicone sealant.
Install the faucet trim according to the instructions packed with the trim.
12. Clean-Up After Installation
When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the
whirlpool surface. Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface.
Remove stubborn stains, paint, or tar with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners
containing petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any whirlpool surfaces for long periods
of time. Remove plaster by carefully scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire
brushes, or other metal tools. Use a powder-type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild
abrasive action to any residual plaster.
Apply silicone sealant to the
edges of the water-resistant
deck material and the
finished deck.
