1. Install the Plumbing

2. Secure the bath in the proposed position

¨The drain has been installed onto the bath before it leaves factory.

¨Fill the bath with water before the bath is securely positioned so as to

check the supply connections for leaks. Kohler Co. shall not be liable under

its warranty or otherwise for damage caused by negligence.

NOTE: Carefully li the bath on the oor.

¨ Li the stone bath by about 30 cm from the oor. You can support the bath

with 30 cm-height-blocks beneath its boom.

IMPORTANT: The bath must be installed level on all top edges. Floor should

be at, level and free of any bumps or protrusions.

¨The drain of the bath is instructed to the bath beforehand. Please insert the

drain hose to the oor drain, and seal the connection of hose and the oor

drain with silica gel. Please set apart some spare length of the hose, in case

of future bath maintainance.

¨ Place the bath on the oor. Put the spirit level to the upper level of the bath

to measure the levelness. If the bath is not level, please put sheet metal under

the bath to raise it up. You might need to li the bath several times.

User’s Guide

1. Do not put objects with high temperature on the bathtub directly or for

a long time.

¨Although LITHOCAST bathtub is heat-resisting, its surface will still be

damaged under too high a temperature. Keles containing boiling water

or other objects with too high a temperature are likely to cause damage to

the surface of the bathtub.

¨Please control water temperature of the water in the bathtub or the water

being poured into the bathtub under 50 °C.

CAUTION: Do not pour water with too high temperature directly into the

bathtub.

2. Spots caused by scratching, common chemicals, burning and slight knocks.

¨Spots caused by nicks, scratching and burning are unavoidable for

frequently used LITHOCAST bathtub. However, since LITHOCAST

is solid from inside to outside, the spots can be removed by using the

following methods:

¨Spots caused by scratching, common chemicals, burning and slight knocks

can all be removed by using Scotch brand cleaning pad. Slight sanding

is necessary for severer damages, and the following steps are needed:

2.1 Wash the surface with clean water to ensure it is dustless.

2.2 Use 600 # waterproof abrasive paper to sand the surface, and then

use 1200 # abrasive paper to polish the surface.

2.3 Wipe away the water with a piece of dry cloth.

CAUTION: Must keep the surface wet while sanding it.

3. Keep the surface dry.

Water contains large amounts of bleaching agents and incrustation. Therefore,

it will aect the color and appearance of the bathtub if it stays on the surface

for a long time.

4. Keep the surface away from strong chemicals.

 ¨LITHOCAST is damage-resisting, but strong chemicals are not allowed to

contact its surface. Paint-removing detergents, metal cleaning detergents,

stove cleaning detergents, methylene chloride, acetone (like nail enamel

remover) and strong acid detergents shall be avoided.

¨If the surface contacts the above-mentioned detergents, please immediately

wash it with soap water.

¨If the surface is spoed by nail enamel, please clean it with acetone free

detergents and then wash it with water.

5. Protect the surface from being knocked by overweight or sharp-ended

objects.

6. Product renovation

In case the bathtub surface is scratched or tarnished due to long time of use,

please ask professionals to polish the surface, which will restore its original

look.
