CLEANING
LIFE SHIELD
GENERAL - for frame work and fixings use only warm soapy water
and damp cloth/ sponge on a regular basis. After cleaning please
rinse with clean water to remove any residue. See instruction
opposite for glass cleaning advice.
Do not use abrasive scouring powders, chemicals or aerosol
cleaners - these may result in damage to the surfaces, in
particular, the plated component parts
Your Kudos product is treated with Life Shield on the inside
surface. Though this helps prevent the build up of lime-scale and
soap deposits, the glass still needs regular maintenance. We
recommend the use of a detergent and aroma free glass cleaner
(A 50/50 mix of vinegar and water works well) Strong detergents
and abrasives can damage the coating.
After showering use a squeegee to remove droplets of water from
the glass.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO BE LEFT WITH THE USER
1
CHECK CONTENTS BY carefully removing bathscreen and
fixing pack from packaging.
2
STAND PRODUCT UPRIGHT on protected floor surface
(carpet or product packaging), to prevent damage.
It is particularly important to position the bathscreen
on the inside edge for the following reasons:
TIP: Identify top of bathscreen by the top pivot bracket
(with 2 screws visible).
a. To assist in water drainage off the screen and into
the bath.
3
REMOVE THE 2 SCREWS (put these aside for later) from
the top pivot bracket and lift this out of the wallpost.
NB - THIS CAP SECURES THE GLASS TO THE WALLPOST
AND YOU MUST HOLD THE GLASS WHEN REMOVING CAP.
Top of screen
has 2 screws
visible.
NOTE How Glass
is held into frame
by holding tube.

6
SPECIAL NOTE
b. For baths where the inside edge of the rim is higher
than that of the outside edge. (We are unable to
guarantee the screen will not leak on baths with a rim
of this sort).
7
USING SPIRIT LEVEL held securely to the side of the
wallpost, ensure the post is positioned vertically.
BE SURE TO HOLD TUBE INTO
FRAME AS SHOWN WHEN
REMOVING THIS CAP. THIS WILL
PREVENT THE GLASS SLIDING
OUT.
LIFT THE GLASS
(with tube attached)
out of the wallpost and
put in a safe area.
Ensure frame is vertical
before marking holes
5
POSITION WALLPOST ONTO bath so that when glass is
fitted, the bottom seal is on inside edge of bath rim.
8
MARK POSITION OF HOLES onto the wall through the 3
‘blue’ plastic components located at the top, middle and
bottom of the wallpost.
Remove wallpost from wall.
TIP: a dab of
paint, nail polish
or shoe polish
on end of drill
bit is used to
mark the wall.

FIT TOP PIVOT
bracket into
wallpost and tube
and hold this in
position. Do not
fit the two fixing
screws yet.
15
POSITION GLASS CAREFULLY onto wallpost. The bottom
of the tube has a hole which must slide over the pin in the
bottom pivot bracket.
NB - do not release your grip on the glass until you have
completed stage 20, which secures the glass in position.
If the wallpost is not vertical, it is possible to adjust.
Remove the wall fixing screws and use these to withdraw
the blue insert sleeve which the screws pass through and
discard the sleeve.This will leave a slotted hole.
Replace the screw, set the wallpost to vertical and retighten.
PLACE THE SPIRIT level onto the front face of the wallpost
12 and,
if necessary, adjust until vertical by turning the top
and/ or bottom plastic adjustment screws.
IMPORTANT - use the middle adjustment screw to
ensure the wallpost is straight. This will also ensure
that the seals are in full contact with the tube along
their entire height.
Note: max. 18mm adjustment in wallpost
Turning nylon

Take care to locate
the tube centrally
over the spindle
pin in the frame,
slight pressure
towards the wall
may be necessary.
TAKING CARE to hold top pivot bracket in place, swivel the
16 screen
back and forth to test the sliding action of the seal
19
on the rim of the bath. The ideal is that the seal should
lightly sweep on the surface of the bath rim.
TIP
SECURE THE OUTER wallpost to the inner wallpost using
the pre-drilled holes and the 4 No.6 x 25mm panhead
screws provided. Ensure you progressively tighten each
left and right pair so as not to pull the outer wallpost
out of alignment.
Insert screws square to the wallpost to ensure they pick-up
second hole in inner wallpost.
