3. Make the Electrical Connections
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Make sure the power has been disconnected before performing
the following procedures.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect the junction box and blower to a properly grounded,
grounding-type duplex receptacle protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or
Residual Current Device (RCD). Do not remove the grounding pins from the plugs. Do not use
grounding adapters.
NOTICE: The blower and junction box are equipped with cords and plugs. A qualified electrician must
install a GFCI- or RCD-protected, 120 V, 15 A, grounded duplex outlet. No other load should be on this
circuit.
Install a duplex electrical outlet behind the bath, at least 1-1/2" (38 mm) above the subfloor, and
within reach of the 24" (610 mm) power cord.
Plug the blower and junction box into this outlet.
4. Complete the Installation
Test Run the Bath
Operate the heated surface user keypad to test the temperature settings.
Fill the bath to a level at least 4" (102 mm) above the top of the highest airjet.
Operate the bath for 5 minutes and check all bath piping connections for leaks. Check for leakage
along the front, sides, and back of the bath.
For additional information on bath and heated surface operation, see the "Operating Instructions -
Heated Surface" and "Operating Instructions - Air Bath" sections.
Finish the Installation
IMPORTANT! Kohler Co. strongly recommends the use of 100% silicone sealant as instructed. Other
sealants with high filler contents should be avoided, as they may shrink, separate, and peel over time
Install water-resistant wallboard and all finished wall, deck, and floor materials.
Apply a minimum 1/8" (3 mm) bead of 100% silicone sealant to seal all areas where the bath and
finished wall or deck meet.
Install the faucet trim.
