Schulte Complete Shower Cabin Kit Instruction Manual

1. Important Safety Instructions

Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use. Retain this manual for future reference.

• Professional Installation Recommended: While designed for easy assembly, professional installation is advised for optimal safety and performance.
• Two-Person Assembly: Due to the size and weight of components, especially glass panels, assembly requires at least two people.
• Level Surface: Ensure the installation surface is completely level and capable of supporting the weight of the shower cabin and water.
• Water Connections: All water connections must be performed by a qualified plumber to prevent leaks and water damage.

4. Operating Instructions

The Schulte shower cabin is designed for straightforward operation.

• Water Flow: Use the mechanical mixer on the shower column to turn the water on/off and adjust the flow rate.
• Temperature Control: Rotate the mixer handle to achieve the desired water temperature.
• Hand Shower: The hand shower can be removed from its holder for targeted rinsing. Adjust its height on the rail as needed.
• Sliding Door: Gently slide the door to the right to open and close the cabin. Ensure it closes completely to prevent water leakage.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Schulte shower cabin.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, rinse the glass panels and shower tray with clean water to remove soap residue.
• Weekly Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner to clean all surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or scouring powders, as these can damage the glass and aluminum profiles.
• Glass Care: For best results, wipe glass panels dry with a squeegee or microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and limescale buildup.
• Drainage System: Periodically check and clean the drain to prevent blockages.
• Door Rollers: Keep the sliding door rollers clean and free of debris to ensure smooth operation.
