1. Remove the Wall profile (01) (this is the external part of the wall and glass profiles set
with no holes along the surface side) and place it against the wall on the threshold in
the designated position. Note that this part of the profile piece should be fastened as
shown in Fig.1. Make sure it’s leveled and plumbed. Mark the drill holes on the wall.

Maintenance
1. Tempered glass can be cleaned with nonabrasive bathroom cleaner or any glass
cleaner you use elsewhere in your home. Rinse off any glass cleaner that gets on
the metal parts as soon as possible to avoid damage to the metal surface. Avoid
striking it with any sharp or hard objects. Such damage can cause either immediate
or delayed breakage of tempered glass.
2. The metal parts in your shower door are durable and resistant to water damage. It is
advisable, but not necessary to wipe it with your towel after you shower. Clean it as
often as needed to keep the buildup off. Never use any type of abrasive cleaner. Use
only a soft damp cloth and nonabrasive bathroom cleaners.
