THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO BE LEFT
WITH THE CONSUMER
CLEANING - general
For the wall post 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.
Do not use abrasive scouring powders, chemicals or aerosol cleaners - these may result in damage to the surfaces, in particular, the plated component parts.
KUDOS LIFESHIELD GLASS TREATMENT
The glass panels are pre-treated with Life Shield on the inside surfaces only.
Whilst this makes cleaning the glass easier and helps prevent the build up of harmful lime-scale and soap deposits, the glass still needs to be maintained on a regular basis. We recommend the use of a detergent and aroma free glass cleaner (A 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water works well)
DO NOT use strong detergents, abrasive cleaners or abrasive scrubbing equipment for cleaning, these can damage the coating.
DO use a squeegee to remove remaining droplets of water from glass after showering, any build up of residue can be removed easily using an appropriate cleaner and agitation from soft cleaning equipment
TOOLS REQUIRED
Pozi-head Screwdriver
Tape Measure
Spirit Level
3mm Allen Key - supplied
Mains or Battery Drill
7mm Drill Bit
Pencil
Sealant Gun
Craft knife
Silicone Sealant - we recommend clear silicone
Wall fixings - fixings supplied are for masonry use only
NB - due to the manufacturing tolerances for safety glass, it may be necessary to make the adjustments described in stage 17 of these instructions to achieve the correct closing action.
SHOWERTRAY
silicone sealant
Ensure the top of shower tray is LEVEL in ALL directions
Once the tray is installed but
before the wall tiles are fitted, any gap between the tray and the walls must be filled with silicone sealant flush with the top of the tray.
Once the walls have been tiled but
before the enclosure is installed, the tiles must be silicone sealed to the tray all of the way around in one continuous bead.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in leakage problems

10mm all the way across.
If gaps are uneven re-check the following:
Check level of tray - front page.
Check vertical edge of In-line panel - stage 6.
Check rails are fully inserted into each corner bracket - stages 10 & 14.

Move rail (and side panel) in either direction until the desired closing action is achieved.
Re-tighten both screws when complete.
Also, check that the door closes fully against the back-stop of the corner seal from top to bottom, if not, adjust as follows: wallpost for side panel Remove the push-in channel from the side panel wallpost by inserting tool supplied or allen key to pull the channel out at the top.
Adjust top of side panel glass in or out of the wallpost to achieve full closure of door from top to bottom against the back-stop of corner seal.
