CONSUMER GUARANTEE

Please make sure the purchaser/end user completes and returns the guarantee card which is enclosed with this product. Failure to validate the Guarantee will mean only the 1 Year Statutory Guarantee will apply.

Pre-Installation Checks

1. Check the tray is level on all sides (the bubble on the spirit level must be in the centre of the 2 lines).
2. Stand in the tray and check that there is no adverse movement (correct if necessary).
3. The walls should be tiled and grouted up to the tray.
4. The tiles and the tray should be sealed using a good quality bathroom sealant.
5. Spray the seal and joints with the shower head and check for leaks when the silicon has cured.
6. Check the plumbing for leaks.
7. DO NOT plasterboard over the tray.
8. DO NOT grout the tiles when the enclosure has been fitted, the grout may discolor the aluminum profiles.
9. Make sure the tray is installed as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
10. When all of the above has been completed please proceed to Step 2.

Fitting Wall Profiles

1. Drill three 4.5mm holes into the U-Channel on the wall profiles, approximately 100mm from each end and the last one positioned in the centre. Place the wall profiles 15mm in from the outside of the tray, the lip section of the wall profile must face inward towards the shower. Make sure the wall profile is com-pletely vertical using a spirit level and mark the wall through the drill holes with a pencil.
2. Drill the wall with a 6mm Masonry Drill Bit (not supplied) where the Wall Profiles are to be positioned. Fit the Wall Plugs supplied (if going in to a brick or block wall). If going into a plasterboard wall you will need to purchase appropriate wall fixings. Wipe clear all debris from the Tray before referring to the next stage.
3. Where both Wall Profiles are to be positioned on the Tray, place a bead of Bathroom Sealant (not supplied) the width of the Wall Profile along the tiled wall. Screw the Wall Profiles to the wall with 40mm Screws (supplied). Do not over tighten the screws into the Wall Profiles as this will misshape the Wall Profile. Ensure the Wall Profiles stay completely vertical throughout this procedure using a Spirit Level.
4. No sealant should be present between the Wall Profiles and the tiled walls vertically prior to screw fixing.
5. Seal the gap between the Tray and Wall Profiles with a Bathroom Sealant (not supplied).
6. Failure to carry out this procedure correctly can result in serious water damage and is not covered by the Guarantee.

Assembling the Horizontal Rails to the Fixed Panels

NOTE: Prepare an area that the product can be partially built. 2 people will be required to carry out the following procedures.

1. Remove the Transit Blocks (Red) from each end of the vertical aluminium on the fixed panels.

2. Sit one of the horizontal rails onto the floor and place a “L” shaped Panel Seal where the panel glass will sit.
   NOTE: There is a long side and short side to the seal, make sure you fit the seal the correct way.

3. Screw the 13mm Frame Screws in the glass panel side of the horizontal rail and in the door vertical aluminium side, ensure there is a 3mm clearance between the screw head and the aluminium.

4. Following the fast fix system steps as shown above, offer the key slot holes of the panel assembly onto the pre-fitted horizontal rail screws until it slots in, then drop into position.
   NOTE: Ensure the panel seal stays in position when fixing the panel assembly and horizontal rail.

5. With the panel assembly in position, adequately tighten both screws, repeat the same process for the opposite panel.
   IMPORTANT: Use a hand screwdriver in order to NOT over stress the screws.

6. When the bottom is complete, place the “L” shaped panel seal on the top of the panel glass and slot the top horizontal rail into the key slot hole on the panel assembly, drop into position and tighten screws. Repeat on the other side.
   Remember 2 people will be required to do these procedures.

7. With the frame assembled, fit the glass clamps (left hand shown) to secure the glass to the horzontal rail using the No6 x 1/2” countersink screws. Ensure the plastic pad is between the top of the glass and the clamp.
   Ensure the clamp is pushed up tight to the glass edge.

8. Seal the gap in the glass clamps with silicon sealant to prevent leaking from this area.

9. Fit the vertical panel seals between the horizontal rails ensuring the flipper part is facing inwards

Fixing the Enclosure

NOTE: 2 People will be required to carry out the following procedures

1. Position the framework on top of the tray and place one end fully over the wall profile, then move the framework back into the other wall profile and position it centrally between the two.
   There should be a minimum of 10mm for screw fixing.

2. Place a spirit level on the leading edge of one of the fixed panels and set it so it is completely vertical. With the 2.5mm drill bit (supplied) drill through the vertical into the wall profile approximately 100mm from the top and bottom and one in the centre.

3. Fit the screw bases to the 9mm screws and fix the framework to the wall profile.

4. For fixing the other side of the framework repeat the above.
   Ensure the framework is central between the wall profiles and completely vertical.

5. Push fit the screw covers

Fitting the Doors

1. Place the Door Glass onto a level scratch free surface.

2. Carefully dismantle the Bearing Assemblies, place the gasket on the outside of the glass (Bearing Side) then re-assemble onto the Door Glass. Make sure you have the correct bearings at the top and bottom and that the wheels are on the outside of the glass.
   IMPORTANT: Fit the Bearing Assemblies to the doors using a hand screwdriver only (Do NOT use a Drill).
   NOTE: The bottom bearings have a domed plunger.

3. Carefully place the assembled door inside the tray. With the Door the correct way round offer the Top Bearings into the top Horizontal Rail, when in position lower the Door and press the plungers down on the Bottom Bearing assemblies so that the Door can be placed into the Bottom Horizontal Rail.
   NOTE: When fitting to the top offering the door at a slight angle will make it easier to fit into the rail.

4. For fitting the other door repeat the above.

5. Carefully check if the doors are parallel (DO NOT LET THE DOORS CLASH). If the doors are not parallel there is a screw in the Top Bearings for adjustment purposes, adjust as necessary to align the Door.
   DO NOT overtighten the adjustment screw (there is 5mm of adjustment on each bearing assembly).

6. When satisfied with the fitting of the Door fit the Inner Bearing Covers.

7. Remove the handles from the packaging, using the Allen Keys (supplied) remove the screws and split the handle assemblies. Fit onto the door glass ensuring the Set Screws are on the inside of the enclosure

Door Adjustment, Trims and Sealing

1. Fit the vertical magnet seals to the doors at the handle side, fit the other way round to each other. Check that the Doors are running smoothly. Pulling the Magnets away from the glass slightly will help the door closure.

2. The Doors can be adjusted by turning the Screws on the Top Bearing Assemblies using a screwdriver. Turn the screws up or down until you are satisfied with the Door.

3. With the Door adjusted, fit the Door Stops so they just make contact with the wheel of the bearing when open, this is to prevent excessive movement and rocking. The Door Stops can be moved left-to-right so that the wheel contacts it between its minimum and maximum adjustment (see diagrams).
   IMPORTANT: Adjust the Door Stops top and bottom, failure to do so may result in breakages.

4. Seal both sides of the Wall Profiles vertically inside and outside where they meet the tiled Walls.

5. Fully seal the Bottom Horizontal Rail to the top of the tray on the outside only from wall to wall.

6. Fully seal horizontally between the top of the Bottom Horizontal Rail and the Panels Glass on the outside.
   IMPORTANT: Failure to carry out stages 4,5 and 6 may result in serious water damage and is not covered under the terms of the guarantee.
   DO NOT seal the base of the product to the inside, failure to comply may result in the product leaking.

7. Fit the Universal Top Caps, these can be shortened to fit by snapping off at the relevant groove. Apply a small amount of silicon to the underside to help keep in place.

8. Fit the vertical door seals to the outer edges of the door glass ensuring that the soft flipper part points towards the Panel Glass (shorten as required).

9. Please allow 24 hours for the sealant to cure prior to using the enclosure.

10. Place the branding badge in a prominent position on a none moving part of aluminium
