Setup and Installation
Installation of the CKB Corner Shower Enclosure requires careful attention to detail. Refer to the included step-by-step instructions for a comprehensive guide. Below are key considerations:

- Wall Adjustments: The enclosure accommodates 2/3 inch (approximately 17mm) for out-of-plumb installation on uneven walls, allowing for a precise fit without cutting.
- Assembly: Follow the provided illustrated instructions for assembling the frame, installing the glass panels, and attaching the sliding door mechanisms.
- Sealing: Apply silicone sealant as directed in the instructions to ensure a watertight installation.

Operating Instructions
The CKB Corner Shower Enclosure features dual sliding doors for convenient access.
- Opening/Closing: Gently slide the doors along their tracks. Avoid forcing the doors.
- Cushioning Magnetic Design: The integrated magnetic strips ensure a secure and quiet closure, absorbing impact and providing a tight waterproof seal.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will preserve the appearance and functionality of your shower enclosure.
- Easy Clean Coating: The tempered glass features an easy-clean coating that resists water spots, soap scum, and grime, reducing cleaning time. Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Quick Release Function: For thorough cleaning of hard-to-reach areas, utilize the quick-release function on the sliding doors. This allows for easy removal and reinstallation of the door panels.
- Frame Cleaning: Wipe the matte black aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check seals and hardware for wear or looseness. Tighten any loose screws as needed.
