height of the bath with the feet. The bath must be supported by the feet only to avoid property
damage. Do not support the bath by the framing or bath rim.

environment.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. If welding is required, cover the bath's surface to prevent
welding deposits from damaging the enamel surface.
