• Verify that the installation area is level and clean.
• Confirm that all necessary plumbing connections (hot and cold water supply, drain) are correctly positioned and accessible.
• Inspect the bathtub for any damage prior to installation. Do not install a damaged product.

5.2 Installation Steps

For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the dedicated Installation Manual (PDF). A summary of key steps includes:

1. Positioning: Carefully place the bathtub in its desired location, ensuring proper alignment with the drain opening.
2. Leveling: Adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of the bathtub to ensure it is perfectly level.
3. Drain Connection: Connect the bathtub drain to the floor drain. The WOODBRIDGE sealed drain system is designed for leak prevention.
4. Overflow Connection: Connect the overflow assembly.
5. Water Supply (if applicable): If installing a deck-mounted or freestanding faucet, ensure connections are secure and leak-free.
6. Testing: Fill the bathtub with water and check for any leaks around the drain and overflow connections.

6. Operating Instructions

Using your WOODBRIDGE freestanding bathtub is straightforward:

• Filling: Ensure the drain stopper is closed. Turn on the faucet to fill the tub to your desired level. Always check water temperature before entering.
• Draining: Open the drain stopper to allow water to empty. The integrated overflow prevents accidental overfilling.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

To maintain the high gloss finish and extend the life of your WOODBRIDGE bathtub:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the tub regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaner.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical solvents (e.g., acetone, paint thinner) as these can damage the acrylic surface.
• Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a diluted solution of white vinegar and water can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
• Scratch Repair: Minor scratches on the LUCITE acrylic surface can often be buffed out with a fine automotive polishing compound or by consulting a professional.
• Drain and Overflow: Periodically check and clean the drain and overflow components to ensure proper function and prevent blockages.
