Please read these instructions carefully prior to attempting installation. Unpack and handle the product with care to avoid damage to the product finish. Check for hidden electrical cables and water pipes prior to commencing any drilling work. Do not plasterboard over the rim of the Bath. Ensure the walls where the Bath Screen is to be fitted are vertical. Note: It is recommended that the walls are tiled after the Bath is fitted and grouted before fitting the Bath Screen. This will provide maximum adjustment and will aid sealing. No attempt should be made to rework toughened safety glass. Pictures used are for illustration purposes only, product designs may alter slightly as a result of continuing product development. The Bath Screen is designed for a shower head to be positioned only at the end of the bath - ensuring the spray is aimed down the full length of the Bath at all times Our over-bath products are not designed for use with Baths featuring shaped/stepped front or integral soap dishes Toughened glass is completely safe for use in our shower enclosures and bath screens; providing our products are installed according to our guidelines. It is important to note, that the glass must not be mounted or pinched in such a way that would cause a stress point to develop in the glass. In addition, it must not be subjected to any sharp impact or severe temperature fluctuation which may also cause a stress point to develop in the glass. Toughened glass is physically and thermally significantly stronger than standard glass. During our toughening process the stresses contained within any glass are balanced so if in the unlikely situation any of the above occurs and the glass breaks, the glass will shatter safely into small thumbnail sized blunt fragments. Please note that some natural misting may occur when you remove this product from its packaging, due to the addition of the glass protection pre-coating. If this does occur this can easily be removed with a soft, dry cloth.

2 IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS Stage 1 - Checking the Bath 1. Check the bath is level, on all sides (The bubble should be in the centre of the two lines on the spirit level). 2. Stand in the bath and check there is no adverse movement. 3. The walls should be tiled and grouted up to the bath. 4. The tiles and the bath should be sealed using bathroom sealant, with a bath full of water Spray the seal and joints with the shower head and check for leaks when the silicone has cured. Check the plumbing for leaks. Do not plasterboard over the bath. Do not grout the tiles when the Bath Screen has been fitted as the grout may discolour the aluminium profile. When all of the above has been completed please proceed to the next step in these instructions.

3 ➅ ➆ 5mm Inside Edge ➄ Stage 2 - Fixing the Wall Profile 1. Decide which side of the bath the screen will be installed. 2. Position the inside edge of the wall profile 5mm from inside edge of bath. 3. Using a pencil mark the locations for the drill holes on the wall surface using the holes in the wall profile as a guide. 4. Drill 3 holes using 5.5mm masonry drill bit. Push the wall plugs (supplied) into the drilled holes. 5. Apply sealant the width of the wall profile at the bottom where it will meet the bath and tiled wall. 6. Screw-Fix the wall profile using the 40mm Screws. 7. Apply sealant to the inside of the wall profile where it meets the bath top The wall profile must be vertically level. (The bubble should be in the centre of the two lines on the spirit level) IMPORTANT: Failure to follow the procedure in Steps 5 & 7 may result in serious water damage and is not covered by the guarantee.

4 Warning: Prior to installation ensure both Pivot Pins are fully tightened. Failure to do so could result in the pins working loose and the Curved Bath Screen coming away from the wall. Drill here from Inside Only Stage 3 - Fitting the Bath Screen 5mm Minimum ENSURE THE SCREEN IS LEVEL USING A SPIRIT LEVEL Push the Bath Screen into the Wall Profile; the Wall Profile must overlap the Bath Screen by at least 5mm. Drill 3 holes through the wall profile into the Bath Screen with a 2.5 drill bit. The holes should be drilled 50mm from the top, 50mm from the bottom and one in the centre. Using the 9mm Self Tapping Screws, secure the Bath Screen to the wall profile. Fit the cover caps to conceal the screw heads. Before drilling the enclosure ensure the bottom seal is firmly fitted to the glass IMPORTANT: THE GLASS OF THE BATH SCREEN MUST RUN PARALLEL TO THE BATH TOP - TO ENSURE THE GAP IS EQUAL PLEASE USE THE SETTING BLOCK PROVIDED WHILE THE FRAME IS FIXED TO THE WALL PROFILE Seal Flipper Pivot Block Seal Glass Edge Stage 4 - Fitting the Bottom Seal Seal 1. Ensure the bottom seal butt s up against the pivot block 2. Make sure the flipper is on the inside of the screen. 3. Ensure the seal is level with the glass edge. If not, carefully trim the seal to the correct length

5 BEAD OF SILICONE RUNNING DOWN BETWEEN THE TILED WALL Stage 5 - Sealing the Bath Screen Using Bathroom Sealant seal both sides of the Wall Profile vertically inside and outside where it meets the tiles only. Then fully seal the base of the extrusion from the outside only where it meets the Bath top. Please allow 24 hours for the Sealant to cure prior to using the Bath Screen. Cleaning your product: Shower Bath Screens are designed for luxury showering and with care and attention you can keep them looking new for longer. Simply clean your Bath Screen regularly using a soft cloth and warm soapy water and If you live in a hard water area, occasionally clean your Shower Bath Screen using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. The solution should be left on the product for approximately 5 mins and then rinsed off using warm water. This method of cleaning should remove lime scale residue. It is also a good idea to wipe all water droplets and residue from the glass surfaces of your Bath Screen after use - a window "squeegee" is ideal for this task. This is particularly important in hard-water areas where lime scale build up is likely if water is left on the smooth glass surface for extended periods of time. The use of any other cleaning products is not recommended Proprietary cleaning products frequently change formula without notification and cannot be endorsed for this reason. A List of don ts: Don t use acidic based products. Don t use abrasive cleaners and/or cleaners containing bleach or solvents. Don t use scouring pads, powder or any sharp instruments
