10. Complete the Finished Deck

If you have not already done so, carefully remove the protective tape from the whirlpool rim.

Cover the framing with water-resistant deck material. Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim

edge and the water-resistant deck material with silicone sealant.

Tape and mud the water-resistant deck material. Install the ﬁnished deck to the water-resistant deck

material. Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim and the ﬁnished deck material with silicone

sealant.

Install the faucet trim according to the trim manufacturer's instructions.

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.

12. Conﬁrm Proper Operation

Fill the Whirlpool

NOTE: Please read these steps carefully before you operate your whirlpool.

Position the jet nozzles so they face down toward the basin. Turn the jet trim rings fully

counterclockwise.

Fill the whirlpool to a water level at least 2" (5.1 cm) above the top of the highest jet.

NOTE: The water temperature in the whirlpool should not exceed 104° F (40° C).

Operating Sequence

Press the air actuator to turn on the whirlpool jets.

Adjust each jet for optimum air/water mixture. Turn the trim ring clockwise to reduce the air ﬂow,

and counterclockwise to increase the air ﬂow.

If equipped with a heater, the heater will engage automatically when the pump is turned on and

will disengage when the pump is turned off. The heater will not turn on if the water temperature

exceeds 104° F (40° C).

Press the air actuator a second time to turn off the whirlpool.
