4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Pre-Installation Checks

• Measure your opening carefully. The door dimensions are 880mm (width) x 2035mm (height).
• Ensure the wall or ceiling where the track will be mounted is level and structurally sound.
• For drywall installations, use appropriate heavy-duty anchors designed for the door's weight.

4.2 Mounting the Track

The aluminum track can be mounted to the wall or ceiling. The track length for this door model is 1810mm.

• Wall Mounting: Use the included wall spacing profile to bridge gaps up to 16mm, allowing installation even over existing door frames. The distance between the door and the wall will be 4mm without the spacer or 20mm with the spacer.
• Ceiling Mounting: Drilling into the ceiling structure will be required on-site. Ensure proper support.

4.3 Installing the Floor Guide

The floor guide pin is crucial for preventing the door from swaying during operation.

1. Position the floor guide on the floor directly beneath the center of the door's travel path.
2. Mark the drilling points.
3. Drill pilot holes and secure the floor guide using the provided screws. For tiled floors, ensure proper drilling techniques to avoid cracking tiles.

4.4 Attaching the Door Panel

Follow the specific instructions provided with your hardware for attaching the door panel to the rollers within the track. Ensure the soft-close mechanism is correctly aligned if included.

5. Operating Instructions

Your inova Loft Sliding Door is designed for smooth and quiet operation.

• To open or close the door, gently push or pull the door panel.
• The integrated soft-close mechanism will engage automatically towards the end of the door's travel, slowing it down for a gentle stop.
• Due to the perimeter frame profile, the door panel itself can be pushed to its full extent within the track. However, the door's frame may protrude approximately 12mm into the passage when fully open or closed.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your sliding door.

• Cleaning Glass: Use a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the glass.
• Cleaning Aluminum Profile: Wipe the aluminum frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
• Track and Rollers: Periodically inspect the track for dust, debris, or obstructions. Clean the track with a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth. Check the rollers for smooth movement and ensure they are free of debris. Do not lubricate the track unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer, as this can attract more dirt.
• Fasteners: Occasionally check all mounting screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Door Not Sliding Smoothly

• Check Track: Inspect the track for any dirt, dust, or small objects obstructing the rollers. Clean thoroughly.
• Check Rollers: Ensure the rollers are clean and undamaged.
• Check Alignment: Verify that the track is level and the door is properly aligned. Minor adjustments to the rollers or track mounting might be needed.

7.2 Soft Close Not Engaging or Working Incorrectly

• Check Mechanism: Ensure the soft-close mechanism is correctly installed and positioned according to the specific instructions provided with the hardware.
• Obstructions: Look for any obstructions preventing the soft-close trigger from engaging.
