Step-by-Step Installation Instructions for Version 5-06/11
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-certified material. If you are in any doubt, call the helpline or consult a suitably qualified 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 01604 633607. We cannot accept liability for any costs arising from installation of damaged or faulty parts. Ensure you have sufficient space and a clean, dry area for assembly. This product should ideally be fitted to a flat 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 fitted 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 fixing 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.

The Pivot / Bi-Fold door can be installed as a right hand or left hand entry. Panels would need to be inverted to do this STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS 1. Ensure that all parts listed on page 3 are included in the box and that you have the necessary tools to hand (some parts such as screws may have more than the number stated). Ensure that you have sufficient space and a clean, dry area for assembly. 2. Using the spirit level, ensure that the shower tray (or base of the shower) is level on all sides. 3. Once you have located the two fixing holes at the top and two at the bottom of each frame. Apply a short piece of protective tape to the lip near the holes (this will protect the lip surface when using a screwdriver). With your assistant holding both frames upright, carefully put four 40mm screws through the fixing holes Fig.1, by hand, so the screw heads are just below the frame lip but not fully home. Align the side panel at right angles to the door panel, so the screws through the door frame line up with the holes in the side panel Fig.2. Note: Snap both frames together and ensure they are at right angles to each other or you will damage the holes in the frame panel when you tighten the screws. With your assistant holding both frames together, carefully and evenly tighten all four screws using a normal screwdriver. Important: Do not use a power driver as this will damage the lip, which can be seen with the cover piece in place). When fully tightened, remove the two pieces of protective tape from the lip but don t fit jointed cover profile, this comes later. 1 2 3 4. Push fit the 2 frame end channels onto the completed frame assembly (lip with screw slots facing inwards) Fig.3 and with your assistant, centrally locate the complete assembly in the desired position over the shower tray. Check horizontal and vertical alignments using the spirit level. 5. Again, with your assistant holding this in place, mark the position of the screw slots in the frame end channels, on the tiled wall, with the marker pen/pencil Fig.4. Version 5-06/11 4
4 5 6 6. Put the frame (with the end frame channels attached) to one side and drill the marked locations, using a 6mm masonry drill bit for a 40mm wall plug Fig.5. 7 8 9 7. Insert the wall plugs into the drilled hole using the rubber mallet to ensure flush fitting with the wall surface Fig.6. 8. Position the frame and end frame channels, back onto the shower tray (as point 4) so the screw holes locate with the inserted wall plugs. 9. Loosely fix the end frame channels to the corresponding wall, using 8 x 40mm (4 each side) screws and caps Fig.7 (Picture shows end frame channel without frame assembly attached, for clarity). 10. With your assistant firmly holding the frame assembly, re-check the vertical alignment with the spirit level. Minor adjustment can be made using the end frame channel slots, to ensure alignment. When correct, tighten. 11. Having checked that the door opens and closes smoothly and with all levels correct, mark and drill fixing holes through the end channels into the frame, (3 per side) Fig.8 & 9, using a 3mm Metal drill bit. 12. Secure the end channels into the frame using 6 x 10mm screws and screw cap washers Fig.10. Tip: if the door does not close correctly then the frame is out of true and should be realigned Version 5-06/11 5

Insert the screw cap seals onto all exposed screw heads Fig.14. 13 14 15 15. Fit the full length jointed cover profile Fig.15. Version 5-06/11 6
16 16. Making sure the room is well ventilated; finish off by applying silicone sealant as shown in Fig.16. NOTE: Sealant should not be applied to the inside of the enclosure when fitted over tiles (only the outside) this stops water from becoming trapped and turning stagnant. Allow 24 hours (under normal conditions) for the silicone to cure before using the shower. Version 5-06/11 7
