IMPORTANT

GENERAL - for the frame work and fixings use only warm soapy water and damp cloth/ sponge on a regular basis. After cleaning please rinse with clean water to remove any residue. Do not use abrasive scouring powders, chemicals or aerosol cleaners - these may result in damage to the surfaces, in particular, the plated component parts. See instruction below for glass cleaning advice.

CLEANING

LIFESHIELD

SILICONESEALANT

Check appearance of shower enclosure - any defects must be reported to Kudos Shower Products before assembly/installationClaims for imperfections will only be accepted prior to assembly/installation

Ensure the top of shower tray is level in all directions

Any claims made under the terms of the Lifetime Guarantee must be reported to Kudos within 21 days of the fault occurring Check the enclosure adjustment sizes are suitable for your installation

Prior to tiling, any gap or crevice between the rim of the tray and the wall must be filled with silicone sealant flush with the rim of the tray - see Fig.1

Waterproof the walls using ceramic tiles/shower panels etc. before installation of the shower enclosure

Fully seal between tiles/shower panels and the tray BEFORE installing the enclosure - see Fig.2

Use care when drilling into the walls to avoid hidden pipes or electric cables

FIG.1 FIG.2

Once the tray is installed but before the tiles are fitted any crevice between the tray and the walls must be filled with silicone sealant flush with the top of the tray.

Once the walls have been tiled but before the enclosure is installed, the tiles must be silicone sealed to the tray all of the way around in one continuous bead.

Your Kudos Product is pre-treated with Life Shield on the inside surfaces only. While this makes cleaning the glass a lot easier and helps prevent the build up of harmful lime-scale and soap deposits the glass still needs to be maintained on a regular basis. We recommend the use of a detergent and aroma free glass cleaner (A 50/50 mix of Vinegar and Water works well!!) Strong detergents and abrasives can damage the coating.

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or abrasive scrubbing equipment for cleaning!!

DO use a squeegee to remove remaining droplets of water from glass after showering, any build up of residue can be removed easily using an appropriate cleaner and agitation from soft cleaning equipment

HANDING OF UNITthis stage will determine which side thedoor will open from and which end is thebottom of the unit.The Pivot points on the curved rails mustbe left of centre if you wish the door toopen from the right, alternatively the Pivotpoints on the curved rails must be right ofcentre if you wish the door to open fromthe left. See illustration picture

3) INSERT HEIGHT ADJUSTERS into the bottomof each wall post (at bottom of the unit).

4) POSITION UNIT ONTO TRAY,holding each side of frame, carefullyposition unit centrally onto tray.Adjust frame outward ifnecessary to achieve a 10mmoffset between front outer edgeof frame and front of tray.

SET FRAME LEVEL, if necessary, byturning the relevant height adjuster screw(clockwise to raise). Use spirit levelacross bottom of curved rail to ensureaccurate levelling (if tray is not trulylevel it may be necessary to insert packingunder mid point of rail-see Tip below).NB- turning the screw will raise that sideof the unit off the tray, there is 5mmadjustment in each height adjuster.

Shim Strip

TIP If packing is required, select shim from strip (supplied),break off and insert under mid point of rail. Thepacking will be covered by sealant when frame is sealed.

WALL POST ADJUSTMENT- each wall post incorporatesthree nylon adjustment screws. Turning these screws in ananti-clockwise direction forces the outer wall post channeland frame away from the wall - max. 18 mm adjustment ineach wall post.

6)

Adjust wall posts at bottom, and top screws to ensure wall postsare vertical & straight.

IMPORTANT - using a spirit levelensure frame is level, vertical andsquare on all sides. This will ensuretop curved rail is directly abovebottom curved rail.

TIPUse clip in extrusions asstraight edges held againstwall posts to ensure wallposts are straight and not bowed.

8) FIT THE FRAME:

Turn adjustmentscrew anti-clockwiseto move frame andwall post awayfrom wall

If the frame is not vertical in to out (see picture above) it is possible to provide adjustment. Remove the wall fixing screws and use these to withdraw the insert sleeve that the screws passthrough and discard these sleeves.This will leave slotted holes. Now replace the screws, set the frame to vertical and re-tighten the screws.

TIP IMPORTANT- ensure pivot partsare held square to glass at bottomedge when tightening.

12) FIT DOOR GLASS by carefully lifting glass into frame andinserting bottom pivot spindle into the pivot body on the bottomcurved rail. Take care not to damage pivot body in locating spindleinto hole. Do not leave go of the glass at this time. While holdingthe glass securely in place, offer the top pivot spindle into positionon inside with the spindle pushed into the top pivot body on thecurved top rail. Still holding the glass offer the top pivot screwplate into position on the outside glass face and fix as for thebottom pivot parts. You may now release hold of the glass.

TIPStand on outside of unit whenfitting glass because pivot screwplates fix from outside. Place components ontop of frame to access these when required.

14)FIX BOTTOM PIVOT PARTS to glass door. Lay the glass on aprotective surface with the outside of the curve facing upward andsides downwards. Position the pivot spindle to the inside of thecurve at the bottom of the door glass. Place the pivot screw plateonto the outside of the glass overthe pivot part and fix through usingthe M6x30mm allen screw andthe 4mm allen key supplied.

Silicone seal wallposts to wall on inside & outside

Silicone seal frame to tray and joints as shown

IMPORTANTDo not silicone seal on the inside of unit (except where shown). Sealing the wallposts & rails to the tray on the inside can result in leakage problems-please note that, in use, water can penetrate into the frame extrusions-this has no detrimental effect to the product-however, this water must be allowed to drain out of the extrusions to the inside.Allow 24 hours for the silicone to cure before using the shower.
