Installation Instructions

HEALTH & SAFETY WARNING
DUE TO THE WEIGHT & SIZE OF THE GLASS PANEL(s) A MINIMUM OF TWO PERSONS ARE REQUIRED
TO MOVE AND INSTALL THIS ENCLOSURE
For the wall post and xings 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.
The glass panels are pre-treated with a protective coating on the inside surfaces
only. Whilst this makes cleaning the glass 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 white vinegar and water works well)
DO NOT use strong detergents, abrasive cleaners or abrasive scrubbing
equipment for cleaning, these can damage the coating.
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
