Setup and Installation

4. Sealing and Waterproofing
Apply silicone sealant to all exterior joints where the frame meets the wall and shower base to prevent water leakage. Install the magnetic seal strips along the edges of the pivot door and fixed panels. These strips ensure a tight, waterproof closure and reduce noise during operation.

5. Final Inspection
After installation, allow the silicone sealant to cure completely as per the manufacturer's instructions (typically 24-48 hours) before using the shower. Check all connections for tightness and ensure the door swings freely and closes securely.

Operating Instructions
To open the shower door, gently pull the handle outwards. To close, push the door until the magnetic strips engage, ensuring a secure seal. Avoid slamming the door to prevent damage to the glass or frame.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Glass
Clean the tempered glass panels regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can scratch the glass or damage protective coatings.
Cleaning the Frame and Hardware
Wipe down the black finish aluminum frame and stainless steel handle with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution can be used. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the frame, as this may damage the finish.
Inspecting Seals and Hardware
Periodically inspect the magnetic seal strips for wear or damage. Ensure all screws and hardware remain tight. If any components appear loose or damaged, tighten or replace them as necessary to maintain proper function and prevent leaks.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leakage from enclosure | Improperly sealed joints; Worn or misaligned magnetic strips; Loose hardware. | Reapply silicone sealant to all exterior joints. Check and adjust magnetic strips for proper alignment and contact. Tighten all frame and panel hardware. |
| Door does not close properly or is stiff | Misaligned pivot hinges; Obstruction; Wall profiles not plumb. | Check pivot hinges for proper alignment and lubrication. Ensure no debris obstructs the door's path. Verify wall profiles are plumb and adjust if necessary using the 0.5-inch adjustment feature. |
| Glass appears scratched or stained | Use of abrasive cleaners; Hard water deposits. | Use only non-abrasive glass cleaners and soft cloths. For hard water spots, use a vinegar-based solution or specialized hard water stain remover. |
