Place the shower tray on a at surface and using a spirit level check that it
is straight and at and that the shower cubicle will sit on its surface correctly
when tted.
Once the waste pipe has been connected pour water into the tray to check the
tray and pipe connection for correct drainage prior to nal x and tiling.
Carefully remove all of the blue protective lm from the tray for inspection.
Caution! Additional protective coverings such as a dust sheet should then be

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Important! The shower trays featured in this manual are available for use as
riser and non-riser products.
The shower waste can cope with a ow rate of up to 25 L/min, with a pipe length
of 3 m for 40 mm pipe and 4 m for 50 mm pipe, with a fall of between 18 and
90 mm/m. The ow rate will be reduced with the introduction of bends or T ttings
in the waste outlet pipe.
Carefully unpack and check the tray for colour, size, general acceptability and
compatibility with the shower enclosure and other bathroom furniture.
Check for transit damage and report any faults immediately to your supplier.
No claims for the above will be considered after installation.

Notication to designers, installers and users:
The majority of all shower trays will show an increase in the potential for
slipping, when the surface is wet. This is particularly the case when soap,
shampoo, bath oil etc. are used. The Construction Products Directive (89/106/
EEC).
Due to the physical nature of water, small pockets of water may remain on
the shower tray after showering. We recommend that both the tray and the
enclosure are wiped down with a dry cloth after use.
We recommend this tray is tted as part of a fully enclosed cubical. If this tray
is tted as a walk-in installation, it is expected that an amount of water will spill
onto the open area of the oor. We would therefore advise xing a threshold
strip to minimize this.
Fitting this product is acceptance of quality.
Guarantee
Mira Showers guarantee the Mira Flight Tray against any defect in materials or
workmanship for a period of ten years from the date of purchase.

INSTALLATION
Please read these instructions carefully before starting the installation
procedure.
Important Notes
1. It is recommended that the shower tray is installed before tiling. This will make
sure that the tray is rebated into the plaster behind where the tile face will be,
thus helping to achieve a watertight joint.
2. Witharebate or partialrebate the amount ofadjustment on the enclosurecould
be affected. Therefore make sure that the enclosure to be tted has sufcient
adjustment to mate with the shower tray.
3. A waste with an 85 mm diameter ange must be used with these shower trays
as supplied.
The rst step of the installation is to decide whether you need a non-riser or riser
installation for your tray. To nd out answer these simple questions.

damage.
2. Spots on the adjustable leg mouldings are provided to help set equal heights.
Set the adjustable legs to the third spot from the bottom, this will give the initial
clearance for the waste supplied.
Note! Do not adjust the legs above the fourth spot as this will be too high to
accommodate the riser panel.
3. Fit the adjustable legs into the holes on the back of the tray.
Note! A soft faced mallet can be used to aid installation.
4. Temporarily t the waste outlet pipework and the trap to the tray. Adjust the

MAINTENANCE
General
Providing the shower tray has been correctly installed in accordance with the
instructions contained in this guide, difculties should not arise. If any maintenance
is required then it must be carried out by a competent tradesperson for whom the
maintenance instructions are provided.
Cleaning
It is advised that the shower tray is cleaned immediately after use, to remove any
insoluble products. Hot soapy water should be used and then the tray should be
wiped. Cleaners of gritty or abrasive nature should never be used.
The acrylicABS surface of this shower tray has good resistance properties to acids
but should not come into contact with alkalis or organic solvents, such as caustic
soda, dry cleaning agents and paint strippers.
