6. Operating Instructions
The ELEGANT Sliding Shower Door is designed for smooth and effortless operation.
- To open the door, gently pull the handle towards you and slide the door along its track.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your shower enclosure.
7.1 Glass Cleaning
- The 8mm easy clean glass coating significantly reduces water marks and soap scum build-up.
- 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 and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water.
- DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, acid-based cleaners) as these can damage the easy clean coating and glass surface.

- The quick release bottom rollers allow for easy access to the bottom track for cleaning. Gently disengage the rollers as per the product's specific mechanism (refer to detailed installation guide if needed).
- Clean the rollers and tracks regularly to prevent the build-up of soap scum and debris, which can impede smooth operation. Use a soft brush or cloth and mild soapy water.
- Ensure rollers are re-engaged correctly after cleaning.
