GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• Read this manual carefully and completely before
proceeding.

• It is recommended that you wear safety glasses at
all times during the installation.

INSTALLATION OVER CERAMIC TILES

• Silicone should be used to seal the gap where the
ceramic tiles meet the panel.

• If your shower door is to be installed over ceramic
tiles, the tiles should lay completely under the wall
jamb.

NOTICE

• Caulking: no sealant is required inside the shower.
Unless otherwise stated.

• Some models are equipped with clear sealing
gaskets.

CARE FOR YOUR SHOWER DOOR

• Never use scouring powder pads or sharp instru­ments on metal pieces or glass panels. An occa­sional wiping down with a mild soap diluted in water
is all that is needed to keep the panels and alumi­num parts looking new.

• We recommend wiping the glass panels with a
squeegee after each use.

Product are subject to change without

notice.
