CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS For Matte Finish The ESS surface of all MTI tubs is among the highest quality surfaces available. Its hard, non-porous surface prevents dirt from accumulating and resists stains better than other materials. This tub is made of resin and natural minerals and may have minor variations in color and surface texture throughout the tub. This is normal and part of the unique, hand-crafted beauty for products made from natural minerals such as MTI's Engineered Solid Stone.
TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ Q: The blower will not turn on, what should I check first? A: Check the electrical connections. Test the outlet for power by plugging in a small lamp or hair dryer. Check to make sure the breaker is not tripped. Replace GFCI outlet or breaker if necessary. Q: There is a rust colored, greasy ring in my bath tub, what causes this? A: The condition results from sediment in the water heater of the home.
Q. My bath's air system has been working great for years, and then suddenly just stopped working. What should I check first? A. The problem is most likely the breaker or the GFCI outlet. Check your breaker box first, and then use a hairdryer to test the outlet where the equipment is plugged in. This should identify the problem. If both these items check out fine, please have your serial or registration number available and contact our technical service department. Q.
