Operating Instructions
The OVE Decors Bel shower door features a smooth-gliding, soft-close mechanism for effortless operation.
- Opening/Closing: Gently push or pull the vertical bar handle on the sliding glass panel to open or close the door.
- Soft-Close Feature: As the door approaches its fully open or closed position, the integrated soft-close mechanism will engage, slowing the door's movement for a quiet and controlled stop. Avoid forcing the door against the soft-close mechanism.
- Smooth Movement: The premium engineered rolling mechanism ensures an easy gliding experience. If the door feels stiff, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your shower door.
Cleaning the Glass:
- Use a soft cloth or sponge with a non-abrasive glass cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the glass or damage protective coatings.
- For best results, wipe down the glass after each use to prevent water spot buildup. A squeegee can also be used.
Cleaning the Metal Components (Oil-Rubbed Bronze):
- Wipe down the oil-rubbed bronze finish with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for metal finishes.
- Do NOT use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based cleaners, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Maintaining Rollers and Seals:
- Periodically inspect the rollers and bottom guide for any debris or buildup. Clean with a soft brush or cloth.
- Check the water seals and gaskets for wear or damage. Replace them if they appear cracked or are no longer providing an effective seal.
- Ensure the soft-close mechanism remains free of obstructions.
