2. Safety Information
WARNING: Improper installation or use can lead to serious injury or product damage. Always follow all instructions carefully.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, during installation.
- Handle glass panels with extreme care. Tempered glass, while strong, can shatter if struck at the edges or corners.
- Ensure the installation surface (walls, floor) is structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the shower door.
- Verify all measurements before cutting or drilling.
- Do not overtighten screws, as this can damage components or glass.
- Keep children and pets away from the installation area.
- If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified professional.

5. Operating Instructions
The DELAVIN Sliding Shower Door is designed for ease of use. To open or close the door, gently grasp the handle and slide the door along the top and bottom tracks. The roller system ensures smooth and quiet movement.

6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your shower door.
Cleaning:
- Glass: Clean glass panels regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. For stubborn water spots, a solution of white vinegar and water can be effective. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.
- Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the matte black finish.
- Tracks and Rollers: Periodically clean the top and bottom tracks to remove soap scum, hair, and debris that can impede smooth operation. Use a small brush or vacuum to clear the tracks. Check rollers for any buildup and clean as necessary.
General Care:
- Inspect water seal strips periodically for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain watertight performance.
- Do not hang heavy objects on the door or handles.
- Avoid direct impact to the glass, especially at the edges.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door does not slide smoothly | Debris in tracks; misaligned rollers; damaged rollers | Clean tracks thoroughly. Adjust roller alignment. Inspect and replace damaged rollers if needed. |
| Water leakage from door | Improperly installed or damaged water seal strips; insufficient sealant; door not fully closed | Ensure door is fully closed. Check and adjust water seal strips. Reapply silicone sealant where necessary. |
