AS AMERICA, INC. (“AMERICAN STANDARD”) LIMITED WARRANTY FOR ACRYLUX PRODUCTS
AS America, Inc. (“American Standard”) warrants to the original consumer purchaser that it will, at its option, repair or replace any of its
plumbing products found by it to be defective under normal use and maintenance within the following periods from date of purchase:
Electronic Components - two (2) years; Pump Motors - three (3) years; Fittings and Plumbing - two (2) years; Shell - ten (10) years
residential; three (3) years commercial. In the event of a limited warranty claim proof of purchase will be required—save sales receipt.
This limited warranty DOES NOT COVER the following:
1. Defects or damage arising from shipping, installation, alterations, accidents, abuse, misuse, lack of proper maintenance and use of other
than genuine American Standard replacement parts, in all cases whether caused by a plumbing contractor, service company, the owner or
any other person.
2. Deterioration through normal wear and tear.
3. Expense of normal maintenance - periodic replacement of washers, seals, etc. is a normal maintenance requirement.
4. IN NO EVENT WILL AMERICAN STANDARD BE LIABLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF ANY INSTALLATION
MATERIALS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TILES, MARBLE ETC.
5. Postage or shipping costs for returning products for repairs or replacement under this limited warranty and labor or other costs incurred in
connection with product removal or installation under this limited warranty.
6. ANY LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED, OR
THE EXTENSION BEYOND THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OF ANY IMPLIED LIMITED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR AN INTENDED PURPOSE. (Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long
an implied limited warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations and exclusions
may not apply to you.)
7. Responsibility for compliance with local code requirement. (Since code requirements vary greatly, distributors, dealers, installation
contractor and users of plumbing products should determine whether there are any code restrictions on the installation or use of a specific
product.)
8. If a whirlpool unit is purchased by a dealer and used as a demonstration unit the limited warranty takes effect as soon as the dealer uses
the product as a demo. If this demonstration unit is subsequently sold to a customer, the dealer may transfer the remaining period of the
limited warranty to the buyer only with American Standard written approval.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other statutory rights that vary from state to state or from province to
province, in which case this limited warranty does not affect such statutory rights.

SCRATCH REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. For effective scratch removal and polishing, you will need to purchase these items:
1 sheet 1000 grit 3M ® wet-dry sandpaper
1 sheet 1500 grit 3M ® wet-dry sandpaper
1 sheet 2000 grit 3M ® wet-dry sandpaper
1 small container of 3M ® rubbing compound #05933
These items can be purchased at most auto supply stores that provide supplies to
professional paint and body shops. Call before you go.
Not all auto supply stores will have these items.
2. Start sanding with 2000 grit paper. Use small squares of paper about 2" x 2" for all
sanding and use lots of water. The water serves as both a lubricant and to prevent residue
buildup on the paper. Residue buildup shortens the effective life of the paper and may
scratch the surface you are trying to polish.
3. 2000 grit paper is the finest grit available (the higher the number, the finer the grit). If you
can’t remove all of the scratches with 2000 grit, switch to 1500 grit. Remember to wash
the paper frequently with water as you sand.
4. If all of the scratches cannot be removed with 1500 grit, switch to 1000 grit. This should
remove most fine scratches. If you have deep scratches or a gouge, coarser paper may
have to be used (see chart to right). Be careful! Using grit that is too coarse may actually
put in more scratches than it removes.
5. Once you have removed all of the scratches by sanding the finest paper possible, repeat
the sanding process using successively finer grits of paper until you have once again
sanded with 2000 grit.
6. Now use 3M® rubbing compound #05933 on a soft, damp cloth. Polish using considerable
pressure to produce a smooth, shiny finish.
