4. Operating Instructions

To open or close the CKB Sliding Shower Door, gently grasp the handle and slide the door along the top rail. The stainless steel rollers are designed for effortless and quiet movement. Ensure the door is fully closed before showering to prevent water leakage.

5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower door.

• Glass Cleaning: Clean the tempered glass regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can scratch the glass or damage the protective coating.
• Hardware Cleaning: Wipe down metal components (frame, handles, rollers) with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for the finish (e.g., matte black).
• Seal Maintenance: Periodically check the sealing strips and silicone for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain a watertight enclosure.
• Roller Maintenance: Keep the rollers and top rail free of debris to ensure smooth operation. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the rollers if they become stiff.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your CKB Sliding Shower Door, please refer to the following common solutions or contact customer support.

• Door does not slide smoothly: Check the top rail and rollers for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the rollers are properly adjusted (refer to Step 11 of the installation guide).
• Water leakage: Verify that all sealing strips are correctly installed and in good condition. Inspect the silicone sealant along the edges and reapply if any gaps or cracks are present. Ensure the door is fully closed during use.
• Door misalignment: Check if the wall jambs and top rail are level and plumb. Minor adjustments to the rollers may correct slight misalignments.
