2. Safety Information
Always adhere to the following safety guidelines during installation and use:
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, during installation.
- Handle glass panels with extreme care. Tempered glass, while strong, can shatter if struck at the edges or corners.
- Ensure the installation surface (walls, floor) is structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the shower door.
- Do not overtighten screws, as this can damage components or glass.
- Keep children and pets away from the installation area.
- After installation, verify all components are securely fastened and the door operates smoothly.
- Do not hang on the shower door or apply excessive force.
3. Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, carefully unpack all components and verify against the parts list (not provided in this manual, refer to packaging). Ensure you have all necessary tools.

5. Maintenance and Care
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower door.
- Glass Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders that can scratch the glass or damage the nano self-cleaning coating.
- Frame and Hardware: Wipe down stainless steel and matte black components with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Sealing Strips: Periodically check sealing strips for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain water tightness.
- Roller System: Keep the top track and rollers free of debris and soap scum to ensure smooth sliding. A silicone-based lubricant can be applied sparingly if needed, but avoid oil-based products.
