Operating the Shower Door
To open the DELAVIN pivot shower door, gently push or pull the handle in the desired direction. The pivot mechanism allows the door to swing outwards smoothly. To close, guide the door back into its closed position until it aligns with the fixed panel and seals properly. Avoid forcing the door or allowing it to slam shut to prevent damage to the glass or frame.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your shower door.
Cleaning the Glass:
- Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner.
- Avoid cleaners containing harsh chemicals, abrasive particles, or ammonia, as these can damage the glass surface or protective film.
- Wipe down the glass after each use with a squeegee or soft cloth to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
Cleaning the Frame and Hardware:
- Wipe the aluminum frame and stainless steel handle with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water marks.
- Do not use abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on the frame or hardware, as this can scratch the finish.
Inspecting Components:
- Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are secure. Tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Inspect seals and gaskets for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain water tightness.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower door, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door does not close smoothly or completely. | Misalignment of pivot points; debris in pivot mechanism; loose fasteners. | Check that the frame is plumb and level. Clean any debris from the pivot mechanism. Tighten any loose screws on the pivot hardware. |
| Water leakage from around the door. | Damaged or improperly installed seals/gaskets; insufficient silicone sealant; door not closing fully. | Inspect all seals and gaskets for damage and replace if needed. Ensure silicone sealant was applied correctly and is intact. Verify the door closes completely and is properly aligned. |
| Door feels loose or wobbly. | Loose mounting screws or frame connections. | Carefully check and tighten all visible screws on the frame and wall profiles. Do not overtighten. |
| Scratches or marks on glass. | Use of abrasive cleaners or tools. | Avoid using abrasive materials for cleaning. Minor scratches may be polished with specialized glass repair kits, but deep scratches may require professional attention or glass replacement. |
