4. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your shower cabin.

4.1 Cleaning Glass Surfaces

• Clean glass panels regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner.
• For stubborn water spots or limescale, use a mild vinegar solution or a specialized limescale remover, then rinse thoroughly with water.
• Avoid using abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, or scouring powders, as these can scratch the glass or damage the surface finish.

4.2 Cleaning Profiles and Metal Parts

• Wipe aluminum profiles and chrome-plated parts with a soft, damp cloth.
• Use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner if necessary, and always rinse thoroughly.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can damage the finish.

4.3 Shower Tray and Drainage

• Clean the shower tray with a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner.
• Regularly check and clean the drain to prevent blockages and ensure proper water flow. Remove any hair or debris from the drain cover.

4.4 Seals and Rollers

• Inspect door seals periodically for wear and tear. Replace them if they become damaged or lose their sealing effectiveness.
• Keep the door rollers and tracks clean to ensure smooth operation. Lubricate with a silicone-based spray if needed.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your shower cabin.

5.1 Water Leakage

• Check Seals: Ensure all sealing gaskets around the door and fixed panels are properly installed and not damaged. Replace worn seals.
• Drain Connection: Verify that the drain hose connection to the shower tray is tight and properly sealed.
• Tray Level: Confirm the shower tray is perfectly level. An uneven tray can cause water to pool or leak.

5.2 Door Not Sliding Smoothly

• Clean Tracks: Remove any dirt, soap scum, or debris from the door tracks.
• Inspect Rollers: Check if the rollers are clean and undamaged. Lubricate them with a silicone spray if they are stiff.
• Adjust Door: Re-adjust the door alignment using the adjustment screws on the rollers if necessary.

5.3 Low Water Pressure

• Check Water Supply: Ensure the main water supply valves are fully open.
• Clean Shower Head: Limescale buildup can restrict water flow. Clean the nozzles of the shower head.
• Inspect Hoses: Check for any kinks or blockages in the water supply hoses.
