Setup and Installation
Important Considerations:
- Two-Person Installation: Due to the weight and size of the glass panels, a two-person team is necessary for proper and safe installation.
- Drilling Required: Drilling into the tub/threshold and wall is required for the installation of this product. Ensure you have appropriate drill bits for tile or other bathroom surfaces.
- Wall Plumbness: This model has NO adjustment for out-of-plumb (uneven) walls. Ensure your walls are at a right angle (90°) to the threshold for proper installation and sealing.
- Threshold Depth: A minimum threshold depth of 2 3/4 inches is required for the anti-splash threshold.
Installation Steps Overview:
- Measure and Prepare: Carefully measure your shower opening to confirm compatibility with the door dimensions. The stainless steel top guide bar can be trimmed up to 4 inches for width adjustment if needed.
- Secure Wall Brackets: Install the wall brackets for the top guide bar, ensuring they are level and securely fastened into studs or appropriate anchors.
- Install Top Guide Bar: Attach the trimmed top guide bar to the installed wall brackets.
- Position Stationary Glass: Carefully place the stationary glass panel. Ensure it is level and properly aligned.
- Install Sliding Door Hardware: Attach the roller wheel assembly to the sliding door panel and mount it onto the top guide bar.
- Install Bottom Guide and Seals: Secure the bottom guide to the threshold. Install the plastic seals along the edges of the glass panels to create a watertight enclosure.
- Apply Silicone Sealant: Apply a high-quality silicone sealant to all necessary joints and seams to prevent water leakage.

Operating Instructions
The DreamLine Enigma-X shower door features a smooth-gliding mechanism for effortless opening and closing. To operate, gently push or pull the handle on the sliding glass panel. The large roller wheel assembly ensures quiet and fluid movement along the top guide bar. The integrated rubber stops prevent the door from impacting the wall or stationary panel too forcefully.

Maintenance
To maintain the pristine appearance and functionality of your DreamLine Enigma-X shower door, regular cleaning and care are recommended.
- ClearMax Glass Coating: The glass is treated with DreamLine's exclusive ClearMax water and stain resistant coating. This coating helps repel water and prevent limescale buildup, making cleaning easier. Simply wipe down the glass after each use with a soft cloth or squeegee to maintain its clarity.
- General Cleaning: For routine cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the glass and hardware finishes.
- Hardware Care: Clean the brushed stainless steel hardware with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
- Seals: Periodically inspect the plastic seals for wear and tear. Replace them if they become damaged to ensure continued water containment.
