SILICONE

SEALANT 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.

CLEANING

GENERAL - for the 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.

Do not use abrasive scouring powders, chemicals or aerosol cleaners - these may result in damage to the surfaces, in particular, the plated component parts. See instruction below for glass cleaning advice.

LIFESHIELD

Your Kudos Product is pre-treated with Life Shield on the inside surfaces only. While this makes cleaning the glass a lot 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 Vinegar and Water works well!!) Strong detergents and abrasives can damage the coating.

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or abrasive scrubbing equipment for cleaning!!

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

Then undo the allen key screw securing the top wheeled units to the glass using the 4mm Allen key provided. Once the Allen screws are removed carefully lift the glass up and away from the frame, taking care not to knock any exposed edges. Do not stand directly onto a tiled floor, we recommend the use of a towel to stand the glass onto. Remove the wheeled units from the top rail by lifting out and keep safe.

Remove the screws that secure the four patch fittings of the fixed panel to the door rails, at the top and bottom of the door. Fig. 3.1

. Slide the fixed panel towards the centre of the frame away from the wall post - ensure the rigid gasket on the edge of the glass remains securely clipped onto the glass edge. Fig. 3.2
