2 Before Starting: Please read and understand these instructions. Not following these instructions will invalidate your warranty (although this does not affect your statutory rights) and could cause injury during or after installation. This is a two-person job. All glass must be handled with great care. This product is made from toughened glass and must not be replaced by standard, non-certifi ed material. If you are in any doubt, call the helpline or consult a suitably qualifi ed person. Check that all parts listed on page 3 are included in the box and that you have the necessary tools to hand. Note that some parts, such as screws, may have more than the number stated. DISCLAIMER: Should any parts be missing or damaged, do not continue with the installation and call the Customer Helpline number on We cannot accept liability for any costs arising from installation of damaged or faulty parts. Ensure you have suffi cient space and a clean, dry area for assembly. This product should ideally be fi tted to a fl at wall, although it will allow for walls that are up to 20mm out of true. However, if the surface is uneven, additional silicone sealing will be required. Note: This product should only be fi tted over a sound tiled surface. Important: The wall plugs included in this pack are for solid walls only. If the product is to be mounted on a partition or stud wall, specialised fixings should be purchased separately. CAUTION! Before drilling into any walls, check that there are no hidden cables or pipes. Exercise great care when using power tools near water. The use of a residual current device (RCD) or cordless drill is recommended. Always double-check the position and your measurements before drilling holes. Protective eyewear should be used when drilling and handling glass. Keep children away from the work area and remember that all small parts, plastic bags and tools should also be kept out of reach of children. Fixing tips: A piece of insulating tape or a couple of layers of masking tape applied to the wall before marking out the fi xing holes will help stop the drill from wandering on tiled surfaces. Also, to avoid the loss of small parts down the drain, put the plug in the plughole. Additionally, take care not to drop accessories or tools onto the shower tray; use a towel or bathmat to protect delicate surfaces. Tools required 1.
