Setup and Installation

The ANZZI shower bench is designed for direct-to-stud wall mounted installation. Due to the critical nature of secure mounting for user safety, professional installation is strongly recommended.

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Stud Finder
• Drill with appropriate drill bits
• Level
• Measuring Tape
• Pencil
• Screwdriver (Phillips head)

Installation Steps:

1. Determine Location: Choose a suitable location within your shower or bath area where the bench can be securely mounted to wall studs. Use a stud finder to locate and mark the center of two adjacent wall studs. The bench requires mounting to studs for proper support.
2. Mark Mounting Holes: Hold the shower bench assembly against the wall at the desired height, ensuring it is level. Use a pencil to mark the precise locations for the mounting screws through the pre-drilled holes in the bench's mounting brackets.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit size (refer to the included hardware specifications for exact size), drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Ensure the pilot holes are deep enough to accommodate the mounting screws.
4. Secure Bench: Align the bench's mounting brackets with the drilled pilot holes. Insert the provided mounting screws and tighten them securely into the wall studs. Do not overtighten.
5. Test Stability: Once installed, gently apply downward pressure to the bench to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall and does not wobble or sag.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower bench:

• Cleaning: Clean the teak wood and metal components regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Teak Wood Care: Teak wood naturally weathers to a silvery-gray patina over time. To maintain its original warm color, you may periodically apply a teak oil or sealant designed for outdoor furniture. Ensure the bench is completely dry before applying any treatment.
• Hardware Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.
• Drying: After each use, allow the bench to air dry completely to prevent water spots or mildew buildup on the wood.
