Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Aurlane FAC398 Pivoting Shower Door with Shower Tray. Please read this manual thoroughly before beginning installation or use to ensure proper function and safety. Keep this manual for future reference.
Safety Information
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation, including safety glasses and gloves.
- Ensure the installation area is clean, dry, and well-lit.
- Handle glass components with extreme care to prevent breakage and injury. Tempered glass, if broken, shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, but sharp edges can still occur.
- Verify that the wall structure is capable of supporting the weight of the shower door and its components.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the glass or aluminum finishes.
- Ensure all connections are watertight to prevent leaks.
- If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified professional.

Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully for proper installation. It is recommended to have two people for certain stages of the installation, especially when handling glass panels.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the floor and walls are level, clean, and structurally sound. Mark the desired position for the shower tray and wall profiles.
- Install the Shower Tray: Position the white reinforced acrylic shower tray. Ensure it is level and properly supported. Connect the drain (not supplied) according to its manufacturer's instructions, ensuring a watertight seal. The shower tray has a non-slip surface and a stone effect finish.
- Mount Wall Profiles: Attach the black matte lacquered aluminum wall profiles to the wall using the provided screws and wall plugs. These profiles are adjustable by +/- 1 cm to accommodate slight wall irregularities. Ensure they are plumb and securely fastened.
- Install Fixed Glass Panel: Carefully insert the fixed tempered glass panel into the wall profile. Secure it according to the instructions provided with the hardware.
- Install Pivoting Door: Attach the pivoting tempered glass door to the appropriate hinge mechanism or profile. The door features 6mm thick tempered glass and can be mounted reversibly (left or right opening) to suit your bathroom layout.
- Attach Handles and Magnetic Closure: Install the black matte lacquered metal handles on the pivoting door. Attach the magnetic closure mechanism to ensure the door closes securely and creates a tight seal.
- Seal All Joints: Apply a high-quality silicone sealant to all external joints between the profiles, glass, and shower tray to prevent water leakage. Allow the sealant to cure completely before using the shower.

Operating Instructions
The Aurlane Pivoting Shower Door is designed for simple and reliable operation.
- To open the door, gently pull the handle outwards.
- To close the door, push it until the magnetic closure engages, ensuring a secure seal.
- Avoid slamming the door to prevent damage to the glass or frame.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your shower door and tray.
- Glass Panels: Clean glass regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. For stubborn water spots, a solution of white vinegar and water can be effective. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.
- Aluminum Profiles and Handles: Wipe down the black matte aluminum profiles and metal handles with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Shower Tray: Clean the acrylic shower tray with a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Do not use abrasive brushes or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-slip surface.
- Seals: Periodically check the silicone seals for any signs of wear, cracking, or mold. Re-seal as necessary to maintain watertight integrity.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leakage | Improperly sealed joints; worn seals; door not closing properly. | Check all silicone seals and re-apply if necessary. Ensure the magnetic strip is clean and aligned for proper closure. |
| Door does not close securely | Misaligned magnetic strip; debris in the magnetic strip; hinge issues. | Clean the magnetic strip. Check hinge alignment and adjust if possible. |
| Door is stiff or squeaks | Accumulation of dirt or mineral deposits on hinges; lack of lubrication. | Clean hinges thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts. |
| Scratches on glass or profiles | Use of abrasive cleaners or tools. | Unfortunately, scratches on glass or finished profiles are often permanent. Prevent by using only soft cloths and appropriate cleaners. |
