Please read these instructions carefully and keep for future reference.
Incorrect fitting will invalidate the guarantee.
SAFETY
●
Handle glass with great care.
Although the glass is very tough, sharp impacts can damage both the glass and metal frame.
●
Make sure there are no hidden pipes or cables hidden in the wall where you intend to drill.
●
Wear safety goggles, shoes and appropriate clothing.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
●
Check that the shower tray is level in all directions. The enclosure will not sit correctly on an uneven surface.
If uneven, the wall channels may not fit and the doors may not shut correctly.
●
The enclosure should be fitted on tiled walls which are sealed with waterproof grout.
●
There must be a good silicone seal between the rim of the shower tray and the wall.
●
The shower tray and the enclosure must match in size. Attempting to fit the incorrect size of enclosure to
the shower tray will result in water leaks.
●
Always check very carefully that components are vertical.
●
To avoid damage, use the opened out packaging to build the enclosure on.
Equipment needed:
Drill, 6.5mm Masonry Bit, 4.5mm & 3mm Metal Bits (general), Crosshead Screwdriver, 16mm Spanner, Spirit Level, Pencil,
Tape Measure, Masking Tape, Silicone Sealant.
Note: The screws and wall plugs supplied are for masonry walls. For lightweight walls i.e. stud partition, plasterboard etc, use the correct type of fixings.

c: Place the wall channels on the angled profiles, note the orientation of the profiles. Mark and drill through the holes in the wall channels into the profiles using a
3mm drill bit.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the wall channel you use as a template is the same one that will fix to that angled profile in step 3.

a: The enclosure can be assembled with the door on either the right or left side (see step 6). Note: The following instructions show the enclosure with the door on the right hand side.
b: Ensure the shower tray is level in all directions. IMPORTANT: Clean the tray and seal the gap between the tray surface and tiles.
It is important that the tray is sealed right up to the tray edge so that the bottom of the wall channel is sealed. Failure to do this will cause water to leak under the wall channel and between the tray and tiles, resulting in damp patches on the wall and under the tray.
c: Place the angled profiles on the tray ensuring they are vertical and a minimum of 5mm back from the front of the tray. Place masking tape against the wall before marking drill hole positions, this will help prevent the drill bit slipping. Drill 6.5mm holes,
30mm deep and insert the wall plugs.

Push fit the 'short flipper seals' onto the top and bottom edges of the fixed panel - flush against the metal profile.
Ensure the flipper seal 'flaps' are

IMPORTANT: It is advised that this stage is carried out by two people to avoid damaging the runners, rails or door.
From inside the enclosure, push fit the 'runners' fitted to the top and bottom of the door, onto the 'door rollers' pre-fitted in the top and bottom rails.
The 'cam adjusters' at the top and bottom of the door may need adjusting so that the door slides freely and the magnetic seal is flush against the magnetic profile when the door is closed.
a: Loosen all 4 cam adjuster screws (1 turn maximum).
b: Turn the cam adjusters (by hand or using a 16mm spanner) until the door hangs vertically. Re-tighten the screws -
do not
over tighten. c: Push fit all 4 covers (PN50103) onto the door.
