General Care & Maintenance.
Provided this product is installed & operated in accordance with these instructions, problems should
not arise. However should maintenance be required it should be carried out by a competent person
with reference to these instructions. Before any work is carried out the root cause of the problem
must be identified. Lakes Bathrooms service engineers are available if necessary to consult / carry out
remedial work. Call Lakes Bathrooms HELPLINE.
Cleaning.
(Every one to two weeks depending on local water {hardness} conditions).
All glass panels in this product have a hydrophobic coating aiding ‘runoff’ of water droplets, reducing
the need for frequent cleaning. For best appearance / product life however, regular cleaning is
recommended.
Use ONLY mild soap / detergent solutions to clean. Rinse with water, squeegee glass panels & wipe
frames dry with a soft cloth. Under no circumstances should abrasive, caustic or scouring products be
used. Non compliance with these cleaning instructions may cause decorative finishes to deteriorate &
could adversely affect safe operation of the enclosure.
Daily Care.
To prevent the build up of limescale, do not allow water droplets to dry on glass or frames. After
showering, rinse with water, remove droplets from glass with a squeegee & wipe frame with a soft
cloth.

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING :
Screen hinges noisy / not moving smoothly : Apply sanitary silicone based grease to hinge
bearing inner diameters.
Check that hinge seals are not distorted or trapped in gap between profiles.
Leakage in area of bottom hinge : ensure bottom seal is pushed fully upto bottom hinge.
Water pooling on inside of screen : check ‘fall’ of bath rim is toward bathing area (certain
bathtubs are unsuitable for screens of this type). Check also, that screen is positioned adjacent
to the inner edge of the bath rim.
Leakage :
The sealing method described in these instructions relies on a continuous seal being applied
between walls & bathtub before installing the screen (see fig A), it ensures a watertight
seal around the perimeter of the bathtub to the walls.
In the unlikely event of a screen leak, water will be visible externally at the bottom of the
screen or around the wall / bottom hinge ONLY. Water / moisture appearing outside this area
(ie under the bathtub or at floor level) is normally due to incorrect bathtub installation / sealing.
