Important
The bathtub must be installed per installation instructions D884000 for the Merano™ or E160000 for the Siena™.
Follow the instructions to ensure that proper framing has been provided to support the J-Shower Tower. Finishing
materials must be waterproof and sealed so that spray and condensation do not cause moisture damage.
NOTE: The J-Shower Tower has been partially pre-assembled for your convenience during installation.
The installer must still follow the instructions to ensure proper installation of the tower and components
(see page 13). We recommend that two persons perform this installation.
