Overview

This document is an owner's manual for the American Standard Elevate® Curved Corner Shower Door, model AM00840400. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, a list of included parts and recommended tools, warranty information, and aftercare guidelines.

Function Description

The American Standard Elevate® Curved Corner Shower Door is designed to provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing enclosure for a shower area, specifically for curved corner shower bases. Its primary function is to contain water within the shower space, preventing splashes and leaks, and to offer privacy during showering. The design emphasizes ease of use and a secure, watertight seal. The door is part of the Elevate series, intended to be compatible with Elevate shower bases and walls, though it can be adapted for other setups with additional hardware. The product aims to deliver a "best bath or shower experience" by ensuring privacy and preventing interruptions.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Model: Elevate® Curved Corner Shower Door AM00840400
  • Dimensions: 36" x 72" (as indicated by the image on page 3)
  • Glass Type: Tempered glass. A critical warning states that tempered glass cannot be drilled, cut, or modified. This is a standard safety feature for shower enclosures, as tempered glass shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces when broken, rather than large, sharp shards.
  • Installation: Requires two people due to the weight of the product.
  • Materials: Tempered glass and anodized aluminum for the frame.
  • Warranty: 10-year warranty for original non-commercial owners. A 3-year warranty applies to commercial installations. The warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship under normal use and maintenance.

Usage Features

  • Curved Corner Design: Specifically designed for corner shower installations, optimizing space and providing a modern aesthetic.
  • Sliding Door Panel: The door panel (Door Panel-L [10]) slides open and closed, providing easy access to the shower.
  • Magnetic Seals: Features magnetic seals (Longer Magnetic Seal [7] and Shorter Magnetic Seal [8]) to ensure the door securely closes and creates a watertight barrier when shut.
  • Adjustable Wheels: The Exterior Wheels [13] are adjustable, allowing users to fine-tune the door's alignment to ensure it seals properly against the magnetic strips, accommodating minor variations in installation or wear over time. This adjustment can be made using the supplied wrench [16].
  • Handle Set: Includes a handle set [12] for convenient opening and closing of the door.
  • Glass Stabilizer: A glass stabilizer [29] is incorporated to enhance the stability of the door panel.

Maintenance Features

  • Aftercare and Cleaning:
    • Daily Maintenance: To maintain the long-lasting finish of the enclosure, it should be wiped down with a towel after each use.
    • Occasional Cleaning: For more concentrated cleaning, Lysol Non-Abrasive Bathroom Cleaner is recommended.
    • Aluminum Frame Care: Any overspray from cleaners on the aluminum frame must be rinsed thoroughly and dried immediately to prevent harm to the metal finish.
    • Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Users are explicitly warned against using scouring agents on the aluminum. Many over-the-counter cleaners, if left on the aluminum, can cause permanent damage.
    • Post-Installation Clean-up:
      • Remove construction debris with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor.
      • Clean with warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.
      • Stubborn dirt or stains can be removed with granular Spic and Span® mixed with water.
      • Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives or wet oil-base paint.
      • Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implements on the bath surface.
  • Warranty Support: American Standard provides customer care via phone (800-442-1902) and their website (americanstandard-us.com/bathroom/tub-and-shower-doors) for questions, installation help, and warranty claims. Installation manuals and videos are also available online.
  • Warranty Exclusions: The warranty does not cover defects from shipping, improper installation, alterations, accidents, abuse, misuse, lack of proper maintenance, use of non-genuine parts, normal wear and tear, water damage from abuse or failure to install/maintain according to instructions, use of cleaning products containing calcium hypochlorite (chlorine), scouring powders or pads, or permanent staining from scented candles.
