Installation Instructions
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all components (glass panels, seals, screws, wall profiles) and necessary tools. Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection. It is recommended to have two people for installation due to the weight and size of the glass panels.
Preparation
- Unpack all components and check for any damage or missing parts.
- Clean the installation area on the wall and bathtub rim.
- Determine the desired installation direction (left or right) based on your bathroom layout.

Mounting Steps
- Measure and Mark: Carefully measure the installation area. Refer to the dimension diagram for precise measurements.
- Attach Wall Profile: Position the wall profile against the wall, ensuring it is level. Mark the drilling points. Drill holes and secure the wall profile using appropriate screws and wall plugs.
- Install Glass Panels: Carefully insert the first glass panel into the wall profile. Attach the hinges to connect the second glass panel. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Apply Seals: Install the rubber seals along the bottom edge of the glass panels and between the panels to ensure a watertight fit.
- Final Adjustments: Check the alignment and smooth operation of the folding mechanism. Adjust as necessary.

Operation
The EMKE Nano Folding Shower Screen is designed for ease of use and space-saving functionality.
Folding Mechanism
The shower screen features a 180-degree folding mechanism. This allows you to fold the glass panels inwards or outwards, providing flexibility and maximizing space when the shower is not in use. Gently push or pull the panels to fold them.

Lifting Mechanism
The integrated 4mm lift and lower mechanism ensures smooth operation and protects the bottom seals from wear. When opening or closing the screen, the panels slightly lift, reducing friction and noise. This mechanism automatically engages during movement.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your EMKE Nano Folding Shower Screen.
Cleaning the Glass
The 6 mm ESG transparent safety glass features a double-sided nano-coating. This coating significantly reduces dirt adhesion and creates a pearlescent effect, making cleaning easier. For daily cleaning, simply wipe the glass with a soft cloth and warm water after each use. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or scouring agents, as these can damage the nano-coating and the glass surface.

Maintaining Seals and Hinges
Regularly inspect the rubber seals for any signs of wear or damage. Clean them with mild soap and water to prevent mold buildup. The hinges and metal components should be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on metal parts.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your shower screen, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Water Leakage: Check if the rubber seals are properly installed and free from damage. Ensure the wall profile is securely fastened and sealed with silicone if necessary.
- Stiff Folding Mechanism: Clean the hinges and ensure no debris is obstructing the movement. A small amount of silicone spray (safe for plastics and metals) can be applied to the moving parts if needed, but avoid contact with glass.
- Glass Appears Dirty: Even with nano-coating, hard water spots can occur. Use a specialized glass cleaner for hard water stains if regular cleaning is insufficient.
For persistent issues not resolved by these steps, please contact customer support.
