IMPORTANT
Check that you have the correct packs and shower tray to suit your installation
Check appearance of shower enclosure and tray. Any defects must be reported to Kudos Shower Products before assembly/installation. Claims for imperfections will only be accepted prior to installation.
Ensure shower tray is installed level in all directions.
Prior to installation, any gap or crevice between tray and walls must be filled with silicone sealant flush with the top of the tray.
Waterproof walls (using tiles/shower panels etc.), before installing the shower enclosure.
Care should be taken when drilling into walls to avoid hidden pipes and electrical cables.
The blended water to the handset can be supplied from above or below the enclosure:
OVERHEAD WATER SUPPLY:

Choose your Quartz Processor site and install.
Run data cable to recommended position for shower control.
Connect 2 metre flexible hose to Quartz Processor.
NB- This connection must be carried out at this stage if it is not possible to make the connection after the shower tray has been installed, i.e, when installing the tray directly onto a solid floor.
Install shower tray.
Apply finish to walls e.g. tiling.
Install shower enclosure.
Connect to flexible hose and fit Water Delivery Column.
CLEANING
For frame work and fixings use only warm soapy water and damp cloth/sponge on a regular basis. Do not use abrasive scouring powders, chemicals or aerosol products - these may result in damage to the surfaces.
See instruction below for glass cleaning advice.
LIFE SHIELD
Your Kudos product is treated with Life Shield on the inside and outside surface. Though this helps prevent the build up of limescale 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.
