Safety Information
1.
Ensure the door is undamaged and no parts are missing.
Ensure the panel size is suitable for the installation. Tempered glass cannot be cut.
The wall retainers must be installed onto a waterproof, vertical and flat wall surface.
Failure to do so will result in an unsatisfactory seal, which may cause property damage.
The wall inclination (out-of-squareness) is should be out by no more than ±4mm/m.
It is the responsibility of the INSTALLER to ensure that the installation complies with
council and/or local authority bylaws.
Instructions, drawings and diagrams contained in this manual present information
available at the time of printing. Although every attempt has been made to keep them
up-to-date, KOHLER reserves the right to implement product changes without
futher notice.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS
This shower enclosure is designed to be installed onto tiled floor and walls.
However, an acrylic wall & tray installation may also be possible. Please refer to
all applicable documentation before proceeding.
The door frame is to be assembled before placing it in its designated location.
This task will require two people.
Note
Tray: For tray installation refer to the instructions supplied with the tray.
Wall: The vertical wall retainers MUST be installed onto the waterproof membrane
PRIOR TO WALL TILING. If possible, the complete door/return system should
be installed onto the waterproof membrane prior to wall tiling.
CAUTION: Failure to install the wall retainers first may mean the door system
may not fit on the shower tray due to the tile thickness.
The design of the wall retainer allows for tiling even if not installing the complete
door system first. The installer can still tile up to the wall retainer as the cover
extrusion fits in from the front.
Proceed to page 8, Installation.
OPTION 2 - Tiled Wall & Acrylic Tray
The door and return can be installed directly onto the wall and floor tiles.
OPTION 1 - Tiled Wall & Floor
For tiled base option:
- Mark from the medium of installation to
the outer edge of the retainer channel.
i.e: If installing onto waterproof membrane,
(pre-tiling), mark from the face of the
membrane to the outer edge of retainer.
If installing onto tiled wall, mark from
the finished face of tiled wall to the
outer edge of retainer.
Please disregard the acrylic base pictured
within these instructions.
Proceed to page 8, Installation.
