HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR DOOR
NEVER USE SCOURING POWDER, PADS OR SHARP
INSTRUMENTS ON METAL WORK OR GLASS PANELS.
The use of a squeegee following each shower is
recommended to eliminate water spots on the inside of the
glass panels.
An occasional wiping down with a mild detergent diluted in
water is all that is needed to keep the panels and anodized
aluminum parts looking new.
CAUTION: TEMPERED GLASS CANNOT BE CUT.
