4.2 Pre-Installation Steps

- Attach Hinges to Wall: Secure the hinge plates to the wall using the provided screws. Do not fully tighten yet.
- Attach Hinges to Glass: Carefully attach the hinges to the glass panel. Ensure the protective gaskets are correctly placed between the glass and the hinge metal to prevent direct contact.
- Mount Glass Panel: With assistance, lift the glass panel and align the hinges with the wall-mounted hinge plates. Secure the hinges to the glass.
- Adjust and Tighten: Adjust the glass panel to ensure it is plumb and swings freely. Once aligned, fully tighten all hinge screws.
- Install Handle: Attach the matte black handle to the pre-drilled holes in the glass panel. Use the provided gaskets and screws.
- Apply Seal Strips: Install the water repellent seal strips along the edges of the glass panel as directed in the specific hardware diagram (not provided in this general manual, refer to product-specific diagrams).

6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will preserve the appearance and functionality of your shower door.
6.1 Glass Cleaning
- The 3/8" tempered Deco-Glass features a single-sided TSUNAMI GUARD protection, which repels water and moisture.
- For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth or squeegee after each shower to remove water spots.
- For deeper cleaning, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner specifically designed for shower doors. Avoid cleaners containing harsh chemicals, abrasives, or ammonia, as these can damage the TSUNAMI GUARD coating and hardware finish.
- Do not use scouring pads or abrasive brushes on the glass or hardware.
