FAILURE TO PERFORM PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES MAY CAUSE SAFETY AND/OR HEALTH PROBLEMS AND MAY HARM THE BATHTUB, THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM AND PUMP, AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTIES.

Circulating System: The whirlpool system must be purged at least monthly.

To remove accumulations of bath residue from the whirlpool system, we recommend that you purge it at least twice a month, or more depending upon usage. To do this, follow this simple procedure. Fill the bath with hot water (not exceeding 140°F). Add to the hot water, 4(6) tablespoons of low foaming detergent such as liquid Cascade or Calgonite and 24(48)oz. of liquid household bleach, such as Clorox (use lesser amounts shown for 5-foot bathtubs, greater amounts in parentheses for larger bathtubs). Turn the air controls completely off. Run the whirlpool for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain the bath completely and refill with cold water only. Run the whirlpool for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain the bath completely and refill with cold water only. Run the whirlpool for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain the bath completely. Depending on the usage and/or the content of the local water supply, more frequent purging may be necessary.

The use of certain bath oils, bubble baths, and bath additives may increase the level of accumulations of bath residue in the whirlpool system. More frequent cleaning may be necessary if these products are used in the whirlpool tub. If excess accumulations persist, you should discontinue use of these products.

If you have followed the monthly purging instructions and still have an excess accumulation of bath residue and desire an alternative cleaning mechanism, we recommend SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS manufactured by Stearns Packaging Corporation to rectify this condition. This may be obtained by contacting LASCO Bathware, Inc., at 800/877-2005. It is recommended that you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer with the product. Repeated use may be necessary. SUPER SYSTEMS CLEAN PLUS does not replace necessity to purge your whirlpool system at least monthly with a low foaming detergent and bleach.

To keep your Lasco bath fixture sparkling clean, apply a coat of good quality automotive paste wax or polish and buff to a high shine with a soft cloth or towel. Repeat every six months for easier cleaning and long lasting protection. DO NOT WAX standing surfaces of the unit bottom (this includes textured, slip resistant standing surfaces), which could result in greater risk of slipping and personal injury.
