IMPORTANT
GENERAL - for the frame work and fixings use only warm soapy water and damp cloth/ sponge on a regular basis. After cleaning
please rinse with clean water to remove any residue.
Do not use abrasive scouring powders, chemicals or aerosol cleaners - these may result in damage to the surfaces, in particular, the
plated component parts. See instruction below for glass cleaning advice.

Check appearance of shower enclosure - any defects must be
reported to Kudos Shower Products before assembly/installation
Claims for imperfections will only be accepted prior to
assembly/installation.
Ensure the top of shower tray is level in all directions
Any claims made under the terms of the Lifetime Guarantee
must be reported to Kudos within 21 days of the fault occurring
Check the enclosure adjustment sizes are suitable for your
installation
Prior to tiling any, gap or crevice between the rim of the tray and
the wall must be filled with silicone sealant flush with the rim of the
tray - see Fig.1
Waterproof the walls using ceramic tiles/shower panels etc. before
installation of the shower enclosure
Fully seal between tiles/shower panels and the tray BEFORE
installing the enclosure - see Fig.2
Use care when drilling into the walls to avoid hidden pipes or
electric cables
FIG.1 FIG.2
Once the tray is installed but
before the tiles are fitted any
crevice between the tray and
the walls must be filled with
silicone sealant flush with the
top of the tray.
Once the walls have been
tiled but before the
enclosure is installed, the
tiles must be silicone sealed
to the tray all of the way
around in one continuous
bead.
Your Kudos Product is pre-treated with Life Shield on the inside surfaces only. While this makes cleaning the glass a lot easier and
helps prevent the build up of harmful lime-scale and soap deposits the glass still needs to be maintained on a regular basis. We
recommend the use of a detergent and aroma free glass cleaner (A 50/50 mix of Vinegar and Water works well!!) Strong detergents
and abrasives can damage the coating.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or abrasive scrubbing equipment for cleaning!!
DO use a squeegee to remove remaining droplets of water from glass after showering, any build up of residue can be removed easily
using an appropriate cleaner and agitation from soft cleaning equipment

from the bottom rail. Then undo the allen key screw securing the top wheeled units to
the glass using the 4mm Allen key provided. Once the Allen screws are removed
carefully lift the glass up and away from the frame, taking care not to knock any
exposed edges. Do not stand directly onto a tiled floor, we recommend the use of a
towel to stand the glass onto. Remove the wheeled units from the top rail by lifting out
and keep safe.
Remove the screws that secure the four patch fittings of the fixed panel to the door rails, at
the top and bottom of the door. Fig. 3.1. Slide the fixed panel towards the centre of the frame

outside, then silicone seal the enclosure to the tray on Outside Only
Do not silicone seal on the inside of unit.
Sealing the wallposts & sills to the tray on the inside can result in
leakage problems- please note that, in use, water can penetrate into
the frame extrusions- this has no detrimental effect to the product-
however, this water must be allowed to drain out of the extrusions
to the inside.
12 CHECK HANDING OF SLIDING DOOR- Stand door upright so that the lever patch fittings are at the
bottom and the outside face of door is facing you. If the door handle is on the correct side to suit your
installation, proceed to next stage.
If not, simply remove lever patch fittings and plastic seal from bottom of door and re-fit these to top of door
(levers to point to centre of door). Turn door upside-down to complete.
TIP Slide door stop-blocks to fixed panel wallpost before carrying out next stage.
13 FIT SLIDING DOOR, hang the wheeled patches in the top rail, carefully feed sliding door through opening
and fit door to ‘roller’ patch fittings using inner covers and screws. Ensure shoulders of patch fittings are tight
against top edge of door.
TIP If working alone, have allen key, ‘roller’ patch inner covers and screws on your person before fitting sliding
door. Use foot to support door when fitting.
14 LUBRICATE BOTTOM RAIL, apply vaseline/lubricant spray to running channel on bottom rail.
15 ENGAGE BOTTOM LEVERS, with levers constantly pressed down, engage into bottom rail and slide
door from side to side. If sliding tight, lower relevant lever patch fitting on door glass, re-tighten screw, until
patches slide free.
FIT GLAZING SEALS to fixed panel glass on outside of unit. Insert long
length between clip-in extrusion and glass. Insert short lengths between rails
and glass at top and bottom, in-between patch fittings.
