Installation Instructions for GlassCrafters Epic By-Pass Shower Enclosure
IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully and become familiar with all parts before installation.
Cleaning: Never use scouring powder, pads or sharp instruments on metal work or glass panels.We recommend
the use of a squeegee after each shower to eliminate water spots on the inside of the glass panels.
An occasional wiping down of the glass panels and anodized aluminum parts with a mild detergent,diluted in water,is
all that is needed to keep your Shower /Tub Enclosure looking brand new.
Unpacking: Care should be taken unpacking your Shower Enclosure. Place the Glass Panels in an upright,
Safe location to avoid damage.Never place glass directly on hard surface.
A Box cutter should not be used to open box.
Please remove all staples from the box prior to unpacking metal and glass.
