2. Safety Information

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety gloves and eye protection, during installation.
• Tempered glass, while highly resistant, can shatter if its edges are struck or damaged. Handle all glass panels with extreme care.
• Installation requires at least two people due to the weight and size of the glass panels and frame components.
• Ensure the installation surface (shower tray or floor) is level and capable of supporting the weight of the shower door.
• Proper sealing is critical to prevent water leakage. Follow all sealing instructions carefully.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools on glass or aluminum surfaces, as this can cause damage.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these general steps for installing your AURLANE FAC488 Shower Door. Refer to the detailed diagrams for component identification and assembly.

1. Preparation: Clear the installation area. Ensure the shower tray or bathroom floor is clean, dry, and level.
2. Frame Assembly: Assemble the white lacquered aluminum frame profiles. The profiles are extensible, allowing adjustment from 77 cm to 90 cm to fit your specific shower space.
3. Fixed Panel Installation: Secure the fixed glass panels within the assembled frame. Ensure they are properly seated and aligned.
4. Sliding Panel Installation: Install the two sliding glass panels into their respective tracks. Test their movement to ensure smooth operation.
5. Handle Attachment: Attach the double square white handles to the sliding panels.
6. Magnetic Closure: Install the magnetic closure strips along the edges of the sliding doors to ensure a watertight seal when closed.
7. Sealing: Apply appropriate silicone sealant along all joints and edges where the shower door meets the wall and shower tray to prevent water leakage. Allow the sealant to cure completely (typically 24-48 hours) before first use.

5. Operating Instructions

The AURLANE FAC488 Shower Door is designed for simple and smooth operation.

• To open the shower door, gently grasp the square handles and slide the moving panels along their tracks.
• To close the shower door, slide the panels until they meet and the magnetic closure engages, creating a secure and watertight seal.
• Avoid forcing the doors. If resistance is felt, check the tracks for any obstructions or debris.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your shower door.

• Glass Panels: Clean the tempered glass panels regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. For stubborn water spots, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.
• Aluminum Frame: Wipe the white lacquered aluminum frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Tracks and Rollers: Periodically inspect and clean the sliding tracks and rollers to remove any soap scum, hair, or debris that could impede smooth operation. A small brush can be useful for cleaning the tracks.
• Seals and Magnetic Strips: Check the condition of the rubber seals and magnetic strips. Clean them with a damp cloth. Replace if they show signs of wear or damage to maintain a watertight seal.
• Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based cleaners), or solvents, as these can damage the glass, aluminum finish, or seals.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your shower door, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

• Doors not sliding smoothly:
  Solution: Inspect the sliding tracks for any debris (e.g., hair, soap scum). Clean the tracks thoroughly. Check the rollers for damage or misalignment. If necessary, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the tracks (avoid oil-based lubricants).
• Water leakage:
  Solution: Examine all silicone sealant lines around the frame and where the door meets the shower tray or wall. Look for cracks, gaps, or deteriorated sealant. Reapply fresh, high-quality bathroom silicone sealant to any compromised areas. Ensure the magnetic closure is fully engaging when the doors are closed.
• Magnetic closure not engaging properly:
  Solution: Check the alignment of the sliding doors and the magnetic strips. Minor adjustments to the door panels or frame might be needed to ensure the magnets meet flush. Clean the magnetic strips to remove any residue that might prevent full contact.
• Glass appears scratched or damaged:
  Solution: If the glass is scratched, it cannot be repaired. If the tempered glass shatters, it will break into small, relatively harmless pieces. In such an event, carefully remove all glass fragments and contact customer support for replacement parts.
