intended

 

to

 

be

 

installed

 

by

 

experienced

 

installers.

   

If

 

you

assistance

 

with

Ensure

 

that

 

the

 

bath

 

enclosure

 

is

 

installed

 

appropriately.

 

Improper

 

installation

 

can

 

lead

 

to

 

breakage,

 

damage

 

or

 

improper

 

performance

 

of

 

the

 

bath

 

enclosure.

 

Wear

 

safety

 

glasses

 

when

 

drilling

 

or

 

cutting

 

to

 

avoid

 

injury

 

to

 

the

 

eyes.

   

When

 

drilling

 

holes

 

in

 

ceramic

 

tile

 

or

 

marble,

 

use

 

a

 

center

 

punch

 

and

 

hammer

 

to

 

carefully

 

break

 

the

 

surface

 

glaze

 

so

 

the

 

drill

 

can

 

start

 

without

 

skidding.

  

A

 

skidding

 

drill

 

can

 

cause

 

damage

 

to

 

the

 

surface

 

and

 

can

 

be

 

dangerous

 

(risk

 

of

 

personal

 

injury).

 

Use

 

caution

 

and

 

proper

 

technique

 

whenever

 

using

 

tools

 

to

 

avoid

 

damage

 

to

 

property

 

and/or

 

personal

 

injury.

 

Shower

not

 

water

tight.

  

They

 

are

 

designed

 

to

 

prevent

 

leaks

 

under

conditions.

  

Excessive

 

water

 

pressure

 

or

 

directing

 

the

 

shower

 

directly

 

at

 

the

 

door

 

can

 

result

 

in

 

leaks.

   

Do

 

not

 

hang

towel

 

bars

 

or

 

handles

 

or

 

use

 

them

 

to

getting

 

in

 

and

 

out

 

of

 

the

 

bathtub

 

or

 

shower.

  

Towel

bars

 

for

 

assistance

 

getting

 

in

 

and

 

out

 

of

 

the

They

 

are

 

not

 

intended

 

to

 

support

 

a

 

person’s

 

weight

 

and

 

could

 

break.

   

Do

 

not

 

use

 

excessive

 

force

 

when

 

opening

 

and

 

closing

 

shower

 

doors.

  

Excessive

other

 

damage

 

to

 

the

 

enclosure.

 

!GLASS

 

WARNINGS!

 

TEMPERED

 

GLASS

 

CANNOT

 

BE

 

CUT.

  

Attempting

 

to

 

cut

 

tempered

 

glass

 

will

 

result

 

in

 

the

 

glass

 

breaking

 

or

 

shattering.

   

USE

 

CAUTION

 

WHEN

 

HANDLING

 

GLASS

 

PANELS.

  

Safety

 

tempered

 

glass

 

is

 

very

 

resistant

 

to

 

breakage,

 

but

 

it

 

can

 

still

 

break

 

if

 

unequal

 

pressure

 

is

 

placed

 

on

 

it

 

during

 

installation

 

(or

 

if

 

cutting

 

of

 

the

 

glass

 

is

 

attempted).

  

In

 

addition,

 

the

 

sharp

 

corners

 

of

 

the

 

panels

 

can

 

damage

 

tile

 

and

 

floor

 

coverings

 

or

 

cause

 

injury.

   

BEFORE

 

BEGINNING

 

INSTALLATION

 

Unpack

 

your

 

unit

 

carefully

 

and

 

inspect

 

for

 

freight

 

damage.

  

Lay

 

out

 

and

 

identify

 

all

 

parts

 

using

 

the

 

instruction

 

sheets

 

as

 

a

 

reference.

  

Before

 

discarding

 

the

 

carton,

 

check

 

for

 

small

 

hardware

 

bags

 

that

 

tend

 

to

 

fall

 

into

 

the

 

bottom

 

of

 

the

 

box.

 

If

 

any

 

parts

 

are

 

damaged

 

or

 

missing,

 

refer

 

to

 

the

 

descriptions

 

noted

 

in

 

the

 

instructions

 

when

 

contacting

 

your

 

dealer

 

for

 

replacements.
