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
Glass Panel 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 5 business days of the delivery date. Please note that DreamLineTM will not

replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after 5 business days or if the
product has been installed. Feel free to contact DreamLineTM if you have any questions.

2. 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 and will not accept any
returns.

3. If this unit is going to be installed in 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.

4. Prior to the installation, please ensure that the installation surface is level and solid and will be

able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure that the walls are plumb. Depending
on the type of unit you are installing, some adjustments in leveling may be possible. However,
irregular installation, surface level or out of square conditions can result in serious problems for
your installation. Please note that some adjustments and drilling may be necessary. Please protect
all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down directly onto a
tile floor. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the
glass.

5. Note: The installation of this unit requires that you drill down into the tub.
