This document describes the "Seattle" sliding shower door, a sanitary ware product from Lanerì.
Function Description
The Seattle shower door is a sliding door designed for shower enclosures. It features a reversible installation, meaning it can be set up to open from either the left or the right side, offering flexibility in bathroom layouts. The door is equipped with a quick-release mechanism for the lower carriages, which facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance.

Usage Features
- Sliding Door Mechanism: The door operates on a smooth sliding mechanism, which is space-saving compared to hinged doors, making it suitable for various bathroom sizes.
- Quick Release Lower Carriages: The lower wheels feature a quick-release button, allowing the door to be easily detached from the bottom rail. This is a significant advantage for cleaning the lower track and the glass.
- Reversible Installation: The ability to install the door for left or right-hand opening provides flexibility in bathroom design and accommodates different user preferences.
- Anti-Limescale Glass: The treated glass reduces the build-up of limescale, making the shower door easier to clean and maintain its clear appearance.
- Adjustable Wall Profiles: The 2.5 cm adjustment range per side for the wall profiles ensures a secure and aesthetically pleasing fit, even in bathrooms with slightly uneven walls.
- Magnetic Closure: The magnetic gasket ensures a secure and watertight closure, preventing water from escaping the shower area during use.
Maintenance Features
- Easy Cleaning: The quick-release lower carriages are a key maintenance feature. By pressing a button, the lower part of the door can be disengaged, allowing for thorough cleaning of the bottom track and the glass panels.
- Anti-Limescale Treatment: The special anti-limescale treatment on the glass significantly reduces the effort required to keep the glass clean and free from water spots. Regular wiping with a soft cloth is usually sufficient.
- Routine Cleaning of Wheels: The lower running wheels are detachable, which facilitates routine cleaning and maintenance of the sliding mechanism. The upper wheels are also adjustable to ensure smooth operation.
- Silicone Sealing: The installation process involves siliconizing the exterior perimeter of the shower enclosure to ensure a watertight seal. It is recommended to wait 24 hours after siliconizing before using the shower to allow the sealant to cure properly.
- Gasket Maintenance: The magnetic sealing gasket and other gaskets should be periodically checked for wear and tear and cleaned to maintain their effectiveness in preventing water leakage.
- Profile Cleaning: The aluminum profiles should be cleaned regularly with non-abrasive cleaners to maintain their chromed finish.
The installation instructions detail a step-by-step process, including checking the level of the shower tray, marking and drilling holes for the wall profiles, assembling the frame, inserting the fixed glass pane, installing the sliding door, attaching the handle, and sealing the perimeter. The instructions emphasize the importance of checking plumbness and using the provided screws and wall plugs for a secure installation. The manual also highlights the need to adjust the extension of the frame using the telescopic profile to ensure a proper fit. Final steps include installing the magnetic gasket and the top cover profiles.
