Please read these instructions carefully prior to attempting installation. Unpack and handle the product with care to avoid damage to the product finish. Check for hidden electrical cables and water pipes prior to commencing any drilling work. Do not plasterboard over the rim of the Tray. Ensure the walls where the Enclosure is to be fitted are vertical. (If the walls are not completely vertical there is 20mm of adjustment in each Wall Profile.) Note: It is recommended that the walls are tiled after the Tray is fitted and grouted before fitting the Enclosure. This will provide maximum adjustment and will aid sealing. No attempt should be made to rework toughened safety glass. Pictures used are for illustration purposes only, product designs may alter slightly as a result of continuing product development. Toughened glass is completely safe for use in our shower enclosures and bath screens; providing our products are installed according to our guidelines. It is important to note, that the glass must not be mounted or pinched in such a way that would cause a stress point to develop in the glass. In addition, it must not be subjected to any Toughened glass is physically and thermally significantly stronger than standard glass. During our toughening process the stresses contained within any glass are balanced so if in the unlikely situation any of the above occurs and the glass breaks, the glass will shatter safely into small thumbnail sized blunt fragments. Please note that some natural misting may occur when you remove this product from its packaging, due to the addition of the glass protection pre-coating. If this does occur this can easily be removed with a soft, dry cloth.

Before Assembly and Installation of the Curved Quadrant * Check the product for defects. Installation queries on damaged parts can not be resolved once the installation has been completed. * The Tray must be completely sealed along tiled walls, fitted level (check with a Spirit Level) and should have no leaks. Notes: It is recommended that the Wall Profiles are fitted directly onto tiles or a similar sealed surface. If walls or tray or a combination of both are out of level you will not achieve full adjustment of maximum width. Stage 1 - Check and Seal the Tray Check the tray is level on all sides. Check the tray has been completely sealed between the tiled wall and tray. Note: Ensure the tray is installed as per the manufacturers instructions. Stage 2- Drill the wall profiles then install the First Profile. Drill 3; 4.5mm holes into both wall profiles through the lip - see diagram. Fit one wall profile 10-12mm from the front of the tray. (The lip of the wall profile should face in towards the enclosure). Using a pencil mark the location of the drill holes. The profile will be fixed to the wall through the lip. The wall profile must be completely vertical. Profile Lip. 10-12 MM 8 Stage 3 - Drilling the Wall Drill the holes using 8mm masonry drill bit. Push the wall plugs into the drilled holes.
Stage 4 - Screw-fixing the Wall Profile Apply a bead of sealant the width of the wall profile at the bottom where it meets the tiled wall. Screw-fix the wall profile to the wall using the 35mm screws. Remember to use the cover caps. Apply a bead of sealant to the inside of the wall profiles at the bottom where it meets the tray top Width of the Wall Profile Location of Second Wall Profile. Inside the Wall Profile Cover Caps Repeat stages two & three in preparation to fit the second wall profile in stage 7. Stage 5 - Fixing the Top and Bottom Rail Before assembling the top and bottom rails to the fixed panel, ensure that both transit blocks are removed from the top and bottom of the fixed panel Take the seals out of the top and bottom rails and position them over the top of the fixed panels as shown.

Cleaning your product: Shower Enclosures are designed for luxury showering and with care and attention you can keep them looking new for longer. Simply clean your Shower Enclosure regularly using a soft cloth and warm soapy water and If you live in a hard water area, occasionally clean your Shower Enclosure using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. The solution should be left on the product for approximately 5 mins and then rinsed off using warm water. This method of cleaning should remove lime scale residue. It is also a good idea to wipe all water droplets and residue from the glass surfaces of your Enclosure after use - a window "squeegee" is ideal for this task. This is particularly important in hard-water areas where lime scale build up is likely if water is left on the smooth glass surface for extended periods of time. The use of any other cleaning products is not recommended Proprietary cleaning products frequently change formula without notification and cannot be endorsed for this reason. A List of don ts: Don t use acidic based products. Don t use abrasive cleaners and/or cleaners containing bleach or solvents. Don t use scouring pads, powder or any sharp instruments.
