4. Operating Instructions
To open or close the shower door, gently slide the movable glass panel along the top rail using the handle. The precision-engineered rollers ensure a smooth and quiet operation. Avoid forcing the door, as this may cause damage to the mechanism or glass.
5. Maintenance and Care
To maintain the pristine appearance and functionality of your UNIKOO shower door, regular cleaning is recommended. The 3/8-inch-thick tempered glass is treated with an innovative Easy-Cleaning Coating (EnduroShield) that repels water, soap scum, and grime, significantly reducing cleaning time by up to 90%.
5.1. Cleaning the Glass
- For daily cleaning, simply wipe down the glass with a soft cloth or squeegee after each use.
- For deeper cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can damage the glass coating and hardware finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning to remove any residue.

5.2. Hardware Care
- Wipe down all metal hardware (matte black stainless steel) with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the hardware, as this can damage the finish.
- Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Tighten gently if necessary.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your UNIKOO shower door, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Door not sliding smoothly: Check the top rail for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the rollers are clean and free of buildup. Verify that the top rail is perfectly level.
- Water leakage: Inspect the PVC sealant strip along the bottom and sides of the door. Ensure it is properly seated and free from damage. Verify that the fixed panel and floor guide are securely installed and sealed. Adjustments for uneven walls (Section 3.9) may be necessary.
- Loose hardware: Gently tighten any loose screws or fasteners on the rollers, handle, or wall brackets. Do not overtighten.
