Preparation

1. After opening all boxes and packages, read this introduction carefully. Check that all of the

needed parts are included in the package, by marking all the components on the “Detailed

Diagram of Shower/Tub Door Components”. Examine boxes and packages for shipping

damage. If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or has missing parts, please

contact our customer support department within 3 business days of the delivery date. Please

note that DreamLine TM will not replace any damaged products or missing parts free of

charge after 3 business days or if the product has been installed. Feel free to contact

DreamLineTM if you have any questions.

2. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, please, install all of the required

plumbing and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if

required by local code) plumber for all plumbing installation

3. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions on

installation compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location,

and DreamLine is not responsible for code compliance standards for your project.

4. Please insure that prior to the installation the installation surface is leveled and solid and will be

able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles. While

some adjustment in leveling of the door is possible, irregular installation surface level or

improper angle of side walls will result in serious problems for your installation. Please, note

that some adjustments and drilling might be necessary during the installation process.

Product maintenance

To insure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls, wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. To

clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers,

metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

To insure long lasting life for your glass shower products, wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth.

Rinse and wipe of the glass using either soft cloth or squeegee to prevent soap buildup. Never use abrasive

cleaners and cleaning products that contain scoring agent because this may scratch the surface. Never use

bristle brushes or abrasive sponges.

To assure a long lasting finish wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive

cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as

soon as possible to prevent finish peeling or corrosion. After cleaning the shiny finishes, rinse thoroughly

and wipe dry with soft cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless

steel cleaner or polish, work with (not across) the grain. Never use abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or

wired brushes.
