Operating
The ANZZI Frameless Shower Door is designed for simple and reliable operation.
- Opening and Closing: Gently push or pull the door handle to open or close the shower door. The hinges allow for a smooth swinging motion.
- TSUNAMI GUARD: The glass is treated with TSUNAMI GUARD shielding on one side, which repels water and moisture. This helps to prevent water stains, soap scum, and limescale buildup, maintaining the glass's pristine clarity.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your ANZZI shower door.
- Glass Cleaning: For daily cleaning, wipe the glass with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive glass cleaner. For best results, squeegee the glass after each use to minimize water spots.
- TSUNAMI GUARD Care: The TSUNAMI GUARD coating reduces the need for harsh chemicals. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or strong chemical solvents, as these can damage the coating.
- Hardware Cleaning: Clean polished chrome hardware with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, or bleach, as these can damage the finish.
- Seal Maintenance: Periodically check the seal strips for wear and tear. Replace them if they become damaged to maintain water tightness.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower door, consider the following common solutions:
- Door Not Sealing Properly:
- Check if the shower opening is plumb and square. Minor adjustments to hinge alignment may be necessary.
- Inspect seal strips for proper placement and condition. Replace if worn or damaged.
- Door Squeaks or Sticks:
- Ensure hinges are clean and free of debris.
- Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to hinge pivot points if necessary (avoid contact with glass coating).
- Water Spots on Glass:
- Even with TSUNAMI GUARD, hard water can leave spots. Use a squeegee after each use.
- For stubborn spots, use a vinegar and water solution (1:1 ratio) or a specialized glass cleaner safe for coated surfaces.
- Loose Handle or Hardware:
- Gently tighten any loose screws on the handle or hinges. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the glass or hardware.
