7. Recommendations
7.1. PACKAGING
The Pluvium shower is delivered in an adequately packed and sealed cardboard box, on
which the positioning and stacking logistics are indicated so as to ensure correct storage of the
shower.
Any failure to follow the instructions for storage could result in imperfections of the product.
7.2. STORAGE
Store the Pluvium shower in a place which is protected from bad weather and which does not
have a very high level of humidity.
Do not keep the cardboard box in humid conditions for an extended period of time because it
could cause warping at the bottom of the pallet.
7.3. TRANSPORT
Transport the Pluvium shower boxes in adequately bundled pallets.
Unpack the shower once at the nal destination. If this is not possible, the shower must be
handled with the greatest care. Any friction, knock or contact with rough surfaces could produce
imperfections on the exterior nish.
