INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a quality Kohler product. To enjoy the full potential of your new product, please take time to read this guide thoroughly, having done so, keep it handy for future reference.
The following pages aim to provide comprehensive installation instructions, plus advice on how to care and maintain your product.
We recommend that the unit is installed by a qualified plumber or engineer.

GENERAL INFORMATION

General

1. Read all of these instructions and retain this guide for later use.
2. Pass on this guide in the event of change of ownership of the installation site.
3. Follow all warnings, cautions and instructions contained in this guide.
4. Remove all protective tape from the enclosure before installation.
5. Excessive flow rates may lead to overflowing and leaking.
6. Water Spray may extend beyond the entrance of walk-in enclosures and we recommend tiling of the adjacent area.
7. We recommend a drainage test is carried out to ensure the waste is adequate for the flow delivered
8. Doors that open outwards may drip water onto floor, ensure the floor covering will not be affected by water.
9. Walk ins and divider panels are designed to minimise water escaping outside the enclosure but by their very nature are not fully water tight.

Safety Information

1. Care should be taken when drilling into walls and floors to avoid any hidden pipes or wires.
2. We strongly recommend that all glass panels are moved by a minimum of two people and that any protective packaging along the glass edges is kept in place for as long as possible to prevent damage before installation.
3. During installation we recommend additional help in lifting heavy doors and side panels.
4. Wear protective footwear when lifting panels.
5. Wear safety glasses when drilling.

Before Fitting the Enclosure

1. Ensure the tray is level and walls are vertical and square.
2. Shower fittings should be positioned such that water discharges down the centre line of a bath or across the opening of a shower cubicle door.
3. Ensure water is not directed at the shower door or side panels. This could result in water spraying outside of the enclosure.
4. Ensure the door opening is positioned correctly and is adequate for all users.
5. Ensure there is a complete silicone seal between the tray and finished wall.
6. Ensure the door is undamaged and no parts are missing.
7. Ensure the size of door/panel is suitable for the installation. Tempered safety glass cannot be cut.
8. Ensure nothing can impact the door or glass panels during operation.

When Fitting the Enclosure

1. The wall channels must be installed onto a tiled or waterproof finished flat and even wall surface. Failure to do so will result in an unsatisfactory seal, which may cause property damage.
2. We recommend our enclosures are fitted onto shower trays.
   Warning! The use of grout/tile cleaners, scale removers, abrasive scourers, drain unblockers and other powerful detergents may lead to damage of metallic, plated and plastic surfaces, including the tray and shower waste.

Use of the Enclosure

1. High water pressure and flow may lead to excessive splashing causing water to escape outside of the enclosure.
2. In certain circumstances such as cleaning, water sprayed directly at the seals may escape outside of the enclosure.
