2. Safety Information
WARNING: Improper installation or use can result in serious injury or property damage. Always follow these safety guidelines:
- Always wear safety glasses, gloves, and appropriate protective gear during installation.
- Handle glass panels with extreme care. Tempered glass, while strong, can shatter into small pieces if its edges are struck or damaged.
- Ensure the installation surface (walls, floor) is structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the shower door.
- Do not attempt to install the shower door alone. Two or more people are required for safe handling and installation.
- Verify all measurements and clearances before drilling or making permanent modifications.
- Keep children and pets away from the installation area.

- Install Handle and Seals: Attach the pull handle to the sliding door. Install the waterproof seal strips along the edges of the glass panels and the anti-splash threshold at the bottom to prevent water leakage.
- Seal with Silicone: Apply a bead of silicone sealant along all exterior joints where the shower door meets the wall and shower base to ensure a watertight seal. Allow adequate drying time before use.
6. Operating Instructions
The AVKENOEDY Frameless Shower Door is designed for smooth and effortless operation.
- To open the door, gently grasp the stainless steel pull handle and slide the door along the top rail.
- To close the door, slide it back until it meets the fixed panel and the magnetic seals engage.
- Avoid forcing the door or slamming it shut, as this can damage the rollers or glass.
7. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your shower door.
7.1 Glass Cleaning
The glass panels feature a nano-coating for water repellency and to resist staining and hard water build-up.
Figure 7.1: Water repellent technology on glass. This image demonstrates how the nano-coating causes water to bead and run off, preventing water spots and build-up.
- After each use, wipe down the glass with a soft cloth or squeegee to remove water droplets.
- For general cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the nano-coating and hardware finish.
- For stubborn water spots, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
7.2 Hardware and Seals
- Clean stainless steel hardware with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check the waterproof seal strips for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain a watertight enclosure.
- Ensure the sliding rollers are free of debris and operate smoothly. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant if needed.
