- Assemble the Frame: Connect the aluminum frame components according to the diagrams provided in the separate assembly guide (if applicable). Ensure all connections are secure.
- Position the Frame: Place the assembled frame into the desired position. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly vertical and horizontal. Mark the drilling points on the wall and floor through the pre-drilled holes in the frame.
- Drill Holes and Install Anchors: Drill holes at the marked points. Insert appropriate wall anchors if necessary, depending on your wall material.

- Install the Handle: Attach the stainless steel handle to the glass panel. Ensure it is firmly secured.
- Seal the Edges: Apply a waterproof silicone sealant along the exterior edges of the frame where it meets the wall and floor to prevent water leakage. Allow the sealant to cure completely before using the shower.

Operating Instructions
To open the shower door, gently pull the stainless steel handle towards you. To close, push the door until it rests against the frame. Ensure the door closes completely to prevent water from escaping the shower area.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your shower door.
Cleaning the Glass:
- Wipe away watermarks and soap residue with a soft cloth after each use.
- For deeper cleaning, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and water.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can scratch the glass or damage the frame finish.
Cleaning the Frame and Handle:
- Clean the aluminum frame and stainless steel handle with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
Checking Components:
- Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
- Inspect the pivot mechanism for smooth operation and lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant if needed.
- Check the silicone sealant around the frame for any signs of wear or damage and reapply if necessary to maintain a watertight seal.
