4. Operation

The Schulte D369106-F 41 1710 is a fixed walk-in shower wall, meaning it does not have moving parts for entry or exit. Simply walk into the designated shower area. Ensure the shower head is positioned to minimize water splashing outside the enclosure.

5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper care will preserve the appearance and functionality of your shower wall.

5.1. Daily Cleaning

• After each use, rinse the glass panel with clear water to remove soap residue.
• Use a squeegee or a soft cloth to wipe down the glass and profiles to prevent water spots and limescale buildup.

5.2. Anti-Limescale Treatment (FIXIL)

Your shower wall features a factory-applied FIXIL anti-limescale treatment. This 'lotus effect' coating causes water to bead and run off, significantly reducing limescale and dirt adhesion, making cleaning easier.

The FIXIL anti-limescale treatment ensures water beads off the glass, simplifying cleaning.

5.3. Periodic Cleaning

• For more thorough cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner.
• Apply the cleaner with a soft sponge or cloth, then rinse thoroughly with water.
• Do not use: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, harsh chemicals, or cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or strong acids, as these can damage the glass, profiles, and the FIXIL coating.

Schulte products are designed for easy cleaning.

6. Troubleshooting

• Water Leakage: Check the silicone seals around the wall profile and the base of the glass panel. Reapply sealant if necessary. Ensure the shower tray or floor is properly sloped towards the drain.
• Limescale Buildup: Even with FIXIL treatment, hard water can leave residue. Increase the frequency of daily squeegeeing. For stubborn spots, use a mild limescale remover specifically designed for glass, and always rinse thoroughly.
• Glass Scratches: Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or materials. If scratches occur, they cannot be removed.
