Preparation

1. After opening all boxes and packages, read this introduction carefully. Check that all of the

needed parts are included in the package, by marking all the components on the “Detailed
Diagram of Shower/Tub Door Components”. Examine boxes and packages for shipping
damage. If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or has missing parts, please
contact our customer support department within 3 business days of the delivery date. Please
note that DreamLine
charge after 3 business days or if the product has been installed. Feel free to contact
DreamLine

2. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, please, install all of the required

plumbing and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if
required by local code) plumber for all plumbing installation

3. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions on

installation compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location,
and DreamLine is not responsible for code compliance standards for your project.

4. Please insure that prior to the installation the installation surface is leveled and solid and will be

able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles. While
some adjustment in leveling of the door is possible, irregular installation surface level or
improper angle of side walls will result in serious problems for your installation. Please, note
that some adjustments and drilling might be necessary during the installation process.

Product maintenance

To insure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls, wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. To
clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers,
metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

To insure long lasting life for your glass shower products, wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth.
Rinse and wipe of the glass using either soft cloth or squeegee to prevent soap build up. Never use abrasive
cleaners and cleaning products that contain scoring agent because this may scratch the surface. Never use
bristle brushes or abrasive sponges.

To assure a long lasting finish wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as
soon as possible to prevent finish peeling or corrosion. After cleaning the shiny finishes, rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry with soft cloth. Clean stain less steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless
steel cleaner or polish, work with (not across) the grain. Never use abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or
wired brushes.
