Installation Instructions

Part 1: Installing Stainless Steel Frame on Wall and Bottom

1. Inspect Wall Surface: Before starting, ensure the wall surface is even and smooth.
2. Position Wall Profiles: Take out the wall stainless steel frames from the packaging. Position one against the wall, ensuring vertical alignment using a spirit level. Use a marker to mark the hole positions.
3. Drill Holes and Insert Anchors: Using a 1/4-inch drill bit (or 6mm for ceramic tiles), drill the marked holes and insert the wall anchors into them.
4. Repeat for Opposite Side: Position the second wall stainless steel frame on the opposite side of the wall. Use a level to confirm vertical positioning, then mark and drill the holes, inserting anchors.
5. Install Bottom Track: Take out the lower stainless steel piece (bottom track) from the packaging. Measure the required dimensions and cut the track to the correct size using a saw, ensuring the edges are smooth and even. To ensure the guide block is centrally mounted, use the center point as a reference and measure equally to both sides.
6. Secure Wall Profiles: Insert the left wall stainless steel piece into the bottom track. Secure it by tightening the screws and place the bumper rubber block over the hole. Repeat this process for the right wall stainless steel piece.
7. Install Guide Blocks: Take out the center glass bottom guide from the packaging. Position it on the bottom stainless steel track, secure it with screws, and then press down the cover plate to finish. Repeat this process for the side glass guide block on the other side.

Part 2: Installing the Top Rail

1. Prepare Top Rail: Take out the top rail from the packaging. Measure the required length and cut the stainless steel bar to the correct size using a saw, ensuring the edges are smooth and even.
2. Insert Top Rail: Insert the top rail into the center of the wall stainless steel frame on both sides. Ensure it is securely seated.

Part 3: Installing the Glass Panels and Pulls

This installation process requires extra care to avoid glass damage and ensure safety for personnel involved. Please proceed with caution.

1. Determine Glass Orientation: Before installing the glass, determine how it will be positioned based on the location of your showerhead. The small knob should be mounted on the inside of the bathroom near the showerhead, while the long handle is mounted on the outside for towel access.
2. Install Pulleys on Left Door: Disassemble the pulley wheel. Take two pulley accessories, ensuring correct orientation for outer installation. Insert them sequentially into the glass holes, then tighten the screws using a hexagonal wrench.
3. Position Left Glass Door: Securely position the left glass door in the outer track. Ensure both side pulleys are correctly attached to prevent any risk of detachment. Ensure the glass is fully seated in the bottom guide at the base. Use a level to check the vertical alignment of the glass. If it's not vertical, adjust the eccentric on the pulley to ensure it aligns correctly before tightening the screws with an Allen wrench.
4. Install Pulleys on Right Door: For the right glass door pulley, take two pulley accessories, ensuring correct orientation for inner installation. Insert them sequentially into the glass holes, then tighten the screws using a hexagonal wrench.
5. Position Right Glass Door: Position the right glass door in the inner track and use a level to ensure it is perfectly vertical.
6. Install Anti-Jump Fittings: To ensure safe usage, make sure that anti-jump fittings are properly installed at the pulleys. Choose the cover marked with the letter "L" and insert it into each of the pulleys located on the left side. Choose the cover marked with the letter "R" and insert it into each of the pulleys located on the right side.
7. Stabilize Glass (if unsteady): If the glass feels unsteady after installation, tighten the screws on both ends of the guide to stabilize it securely.
8. Install Pull Handle: Disassemble the pull handle. Attach the pull handle to the outer glass. Insert the parts into the glass holes one by one, then tighten the inner screws using an Allen key.
9. Install Knob: Disassemble the knob. Attach the knob to the inner glass. Insert the parts into the glass holes one by one, then tighten the outer screw using an Allen key.
10. Apply Glass Adhesive: Finally, apply glass adhesive along the seams and let it set for 24 hours before using the shower door.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your UNIKOO shower door.

• Glass Cleaning: The tempered glass is coated with Enduro Shield for easy cleaning. Use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can damage the coating.
• Frame Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel frame with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or abrasive particles.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Lubrication: If the sliding mechanism becomes stiff, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the rollers and tracks. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
• Water Leakage Prevention: The L-shaped bottom frame is designed to keep water inside the shower unit. Ensure it is free from debris to maintain its effectiveness.
