GUIDELINES
FOR UNIT
INSTALLATION
Page 4
Due to individual site variations, exact
guidelines for every situation cannot be
supplied. The recommended framing and
dimensional requirements shown are
for a typical application and may vary,
depending on site requirements.
The dimensions shown in Figure 1a and
1b are from the surfaces where the unit
will be attached. This surface can be
bare studding, dry wall or other suitable
underlayment material.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FLOOR
AND ALL FRAMING BE SQUARE
AND LEVEL. Framing should be done
using accepted materials and construction
techniques, in accordance with all
applicable codes.
Installation Procedure
With the unit positioned in the alcove,
several details must be checked prior to
securing the unit in place (Figure 2a, 2b
and Figure 2c);
ü Confirm dam is resting flush on the floor.
ü Confirm drain alignment.
ü Confirm the top of unit is level on all sides.
ü Confirm the unit is square in the alcove
framework.
ü Confirm the front inside corner is plumb
at each end. (This is critical for the
proper installation of an enclosure)
The unit must be positioned square in
the alcove framework. The use of shim
or filler material behind the fastening flange
at each framing member may be required
to maintain the unit in the proper position.
After the unit is confirmed leveled and square
in the alcove, drill a 1/8 inch hole through the
fastening flange at each framing member.
THE BOTTOM OF ALL HOLES IN THE
FLANGE HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 8MM (0.3
INCHES) ABOVE THE BASE THRESHOLD!
Secure the unit in place across the back
wall first, followed by the flanges at each
end and along the front flanges, using
1-1/4 inch long screws or other appropriate
fasteners. Continuously check to confirm
the base remains square within the alcove
as it is being secured. (Figure 3a and 3b)

Unit Surface Care
WARNING!
NEVER USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS
NOR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE
UNIT SURFACE!
EXTREME CAUTION is urged regarding
the use of any cleaner, acid or solvent
on the unit surface.
READ, AND FOLLOW ALL PACKAGE
LABELS AND INSTRUCTIONS!
Through routine use, the unit surface can
collect residues from soap, bath additives
and natural body oils. Additional deposits
can also collect from minerals or particles
found in the water.
After each use, wipe the excess water
from the unit. This practice will reduce the
build-up of deposits and help maintain the
natural unit lustre.
Following a thorough surface cleaning,
an application of quality automotive wax
will help reduce major accumulations. The
actual schedule for cleaning, and waxing, will
depend on unit usage and water quality.
• Hard Water Scales: Liquid scale
remover or white vinegar, applied full
strength. (Rinse surface thoroughly.)
• Mold/Mildew: Liquid mildew remover
or baking soda and water paste. Apply
paste and allow to fizz several minutes.
(Rinse surface thoroughly.)
• Construction Adhesive: Soften adhesive
with hand held dryer and peel off
adhesive. (Caution is advised when
using any electrical device near water.)
For stubborn cases, apply rubbing alcohol
or nail polish remover, full strength, to
adhesive. (Rinse surface thoroughly.)
WARNING!
BATH MATS OR OTHER ITEMS WHICH
ARE HELD IN PLACE USING SUCTION
AGAINST THE UNIT SURFACE MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE FLOOR OF
THE UNIT AFTER EACH USE.
OVER A PROLONGED PERIOD, FAILURE
TO REMOVE THESE TYPES OF ITEMS
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE UNIT CAN
RESULT IN SURFACE DAMAGE.
WARNING!
CAUTION: Protect unit surface
with a shield when fastening
AVOID APPLYING WAX TO THE UNIT
BOTTOM!
• Routine Cleaning: Mild, non-abrasive
cleaner specifically formulated for gelcoat
WARNING! THE UNIT BOTTOM
SHOULD BE CLEAR OF ALL
POTENTIALLY DAMAGING DEBRIS
AND THE SURFACE PROTECTED
BEFORE STEPPING INSIDE.
CAUTION: It is advisable to protect
the unit surface with a thin plywood or
cardboard shield while fastening the
flange to the framing.
and acrylic surfaces recommended.
(Rinse surface thoroughly.)
• Heavy Soap Deposits: Liquid ammonia
household cleaner, applied full strength.
(Rinse surface thoroughly.)
• Stubborn Stains: Liquid household
cleaner or hydrogen peroxide, applied
full strength. Place a saturated clean rag
directly on stain and let stand several
hours. (Rinse surface thoroughly.)
For extreme cases, buff area with white
automotive polishing compound until stain
disappears, and apply a quality automotive
wax to surface.

or damages caused thereby or resulting thereof, either directly or indirectly. The owner/end-user must provide access to the components of the product
as described in the installation guide, so that MAAX can execute the warranty specified herein. If such access is not available, all expenses to provide
said access will be the responsibility of the owner/end-user.
This warranty does not apply to products or equipment not installed or operated in accordance with instructions supplied by MAAX and all applicable
rules, regulations and legislation pertaining to such installations.
MAAX strongly recommends that its products - for example, but without limitation, shower doors and other items - be installed by professionals with experience
in bathroom products. Installation of shower doors by an inexperienced person may result in glass breakage and, consequently, cause personal injury or death.
MAAX is not liable for any costs, damages or claims resulting from the purchase of products that do not fit through openings or existing structures. MAAX is not
liable for any costs, damages or claims resulting from defects that could have been discovered, repaired or avoided by inspection and testing prior to installation.
MAAX is not liable for personal injuries or death to any person or for any direct, special, incidental or consequential damage, loss of time, loss of profits,
inconvenience, incidental expenses, labor or material charges, or any other costs resulting from the use of the product or equipment or pertaining
to the application of the present warranty, or resulting from the removal or replacement of any product or element or part covered by this warranty.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED ABOVE, MAAX MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY CODE.
In any case, MAAX cannot be liable for any amount over and above the purchase price paid for the product by the owner/end-user, contractor or builder.
Commercial Limitations
In addition to the above conditions and limitations, the warranty period for products installed for commercial applications or used in commercial ventures
is of one (1) year from the initial date of purchase by the owner/end-user, contractor or builder from an authorized dealer. MAAX is not responsible for
loss of use or profit under any circumstances. If the product is used as a display, the warranty period begins when the product is placed on display.
This warranty gives the owner/end-user specific legal rights. The owner/end-user may also have other rights which vary from one state and/or province to
another.
Warranty service
In order to obtain service provided under this warranty during regular business hours, contact the dealer or distributor who sold the unit, or MAAX directly.
MAAX will provide the warranty service described above when the following conditions have been met: (1) the failure is of the nature or type covered
by the warranty; (2) the user has informed an authorized MAAX Agent or Warranty Service Department representative of the nature of the problem
during the warranty period; (3) conclusive evidence (e.g., proof of purchase or installation) is provided to the foregoing by the user proving that the
failure occurred or was discovered within the warranty period and (4) an authorized independent service person or company representative has been
permitted to inspect the product during regular business hours within a reasonable time after the problem was reported by the user.
MAAX’s warranty obligation shall be discharged upon tender of replacement or repair. The customer’s refusal to accept the tender terminates MAAX’s
warranty obligation.
