Safety Instructions
General Safety:
- Always handle glass components with care. Tempered glass is strong but can shatter if struck forcefully at the edges.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation, including safety glasses and gloves.
- Ensure the installation area is clean, dry, and well-lit.
- Keep children and pets away from the installation area.
- Do not attempt to install the shower screen alone. Two people are recommended for safe handling and installation.
During Use:
- Do not hang heavy objects on the shower screen.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or sharp objects on the glass or aluminum frame, as this can damage the surfaces.
- Ensure the screen is properly folded or extended before and after use to prevent accidental impact.

Setup and Installation
The EMKE Foldable Bathtub Shower Screen is designed for straightforward installation. Detailed assembly instructions are included with the product. It is recommended that two people perform the installation.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the bathtub edge and adjacent wall are clean, dry, and level.
- Position the Wall Profile: Place the wall profile against the wall at the desired height, ensuring it is plumb. Mark the drilling points.
- Drill Holes and Secure Profile: Drill holes at the marked points and insert wall plugs. Secure the wall profile to the wall using the provided screws.
- Attach Glass Panel: Carefully insert the glass panel into the wall profile.
- Install Seals: Attach the appropriate seals to the bottom and sides of the glass panel to ensure a watertight fit with the bathtub.
- Test Operation: Once installed, gently open and close the shower screen to ensure smooth operation and proper sealing.
Operating Instructions
The EMKE Foldable Bathtub Shower Screen is designed for ease of use and flexibility.
- Extending the Screen: To use the shower screen, gently pull the glass panel outwards until it is fully extended and aligned with the edge of your bathtub. This creates a splash barrier.
- Folding the Screen: After showering, the screen can be folded inwards or outwards by 180 degrees to save space and allow easier access to the bathtub. Gently push the panel to fold it.
- Lift and Lower Mechanism: The screen features a 4mm lift and lower mechanism. When opening, the panel slightly lifts to protect the bottom seal from wear. When closed, it lowers to create a tight seal with the bathtub, reducing noise and preventing water leakage.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your EMKE Bathtub Shower Screen.
- Glass Cleaning: The 6mm tempered glass features a nano-coating for easy cleaning. Use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Wipe down the glass after each use to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
- Frame Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, which can damage the finish.
- Seal Maintenance: Periodically check the PVC seals for wear or damage. Clean them gently with mild soap and water. Replace seals if they become brittle or damaged to maintain water tightness.
- Hinge Maintenance: The hinges are designed for durability. If any stiffness occurs, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts, avoiding contact with the glass.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your shower screen.
- Water Leakage:
- Check that all seals are properly installed and are not damaged.
- Ensure the shower screen is fully closed and lowered against the bathtub edge.
- Verify that the wall profile is securely mounted and sealed to the wall.
- Screen Does Not Fold Smoothly:
- Inspect hinges for any obstructions or debris.
- Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the hinge mechanisms if they feel stiff.
- Glass Appears Streaky After Cleaning:
- Ensure you are using a non-abrasive glass cleaner and a clean, soft cloth.
- Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
