cleaners, or pads. They will dull the finish and void the
warranty.
WARNING
Day-To-Day Cleanup
Simply wash regularly with warm water; use a soft cloth
with a mild liquid detergent such as Top Job, Ajax Liquid
Cleaner, Mr. Clean All Purpose Cleaner, or Glass Plus.
Solvents Hazard
Follow all manufacturer’s safety instructions
for silicone, denatured alcohol, and other
solvents. Solvent vapors are both flammable
and hazardous to breathe. Silicone vapors may irritate
eyes and nose. Personal injury can result from
improperly handling or use of products containing
denatured alcohol, mineral spirits, or other solvents.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
the safe use of these products. Ventilate any work area

solvents.
Remove hard water stains or mineral build-up with scale
removers such as Lime-Away.
Protect the finish with any fiberglass wax or automotive
paste wax.
Caulking Joints
If silicone caulking was applied after installation of the
wall panels or tile, inspect the caulking joints monthly for
damage or any signs of separation from the mating
surface. Cracks in the caulking will allow water to leak
into the surrounding surfaces. Reapply caulking to
any joint showing signs of wear or cracking. Failure
to inspect and repair caulking joints will void the
warranty.
Fumes Hazard
The fumes from the silicone caulk
and solvents used by the installer can
be harmful if used in an unventilated
room. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
The bathtub installation is now complete.
DO NOT discard these instructions.
