Complaints resulting from incorrect installation or use are excluded from the warranty!
Seals, hand showers, shower hoses and castors are wearing parts, therefore a warranty
period of 6 months applies here. The costs for replacement are not covered. Illuminants are
completely excluded from the warranty.
• Installation and assembly work should only be carried out by a skilled worker.
• Make sure that the bathtub is properly earthed. We recommend that any electrical
connections be made by trained professionals.
• The permissible water pressure should be approx. between 4 and 6 bar.
• From a hardness level of 10° (German hardness) we recommend the installation of a
softening device.
• Complaints based on limescale deposits are excluded from the warranty!

Sealing areas under/behind the bathtub
Sealing is compulsory - silicone is not enough!
The areas behind and under the bathtub must be tiled. Sealant joints - like silicone joints
- are not waterproong, but only maintenance and beauty joints! Only the use of bathtub
sealing tapes or e.g. sheet sealants comply with this DIN.
Waterproong according to DIN 18534
„This standard is therefore not only addressed to the waterproong specialist, but also to
those who are responsible for the overall planning and execution of the building and its
components, because the eect and durability of the waterproong depend on the coordi-
nated planning of all those involved.“
You as the installer are responsible for reliable waterproong alongside the planner and
tiler. „The waterproong must full its function for the intended service life with sucient
reliability.“
Waterproong must be planned so that it functions for the entire duration of use. In a
domestic bathroom, this can be an average of 20 to 25 years. In practice, this means laying
tiles or a membrane waterproong under the bath is mandatory. Note that the sealing area
at the transition from the oor to the wall must be at least 10 cm high.

Setting up and aligning the tub
Remove the skirt/panel and place the bathtub where you want it to stand later. Align it with
the help of a spirit level. Then pull the tub out approx. 40-50 cm from the corner. This is
necessary so that you can mount it on the back later.
You can adjust the height of the individual feet. It is very important that the tub stands
straight, does not tilt and that all feet are on the oor. It is also highly recommended that you
ll the nished tub with water and check that the water drains well. Please take some time
to do this.
TIP:
To make it easier for you to push the heavy tub into the corner after setting it up, we recom-
mend that you apply a lubricant to all feet. Then the tub will „glide“ better into the corner on
the tiles.
Mount shelf
TIP:
Mount the glass shelf on the back wall BEFORE
you place the back wall on the tub and screw it in
place.

Screw back panels to panel and tray
The joint sealing tape (sponge rubber seal) supplied is glued to the two long corner proles
and to the panel (see diagram below).
Now place the left rear panel, then the panel and then the right rear panel on the tub. First
secure everything loosely with 1-2 screws and then align the assemblies in the slotted holes
and screw them together completely.

The front frame
Pre-assemble frame
First take the magnetic strip C18 and insert it into the recess of the prole C4 (wide). Now
screw the corner prole C4 (narrow) to the two arch proles C3 for the bottom and C2 for
the top. The corner prole is milled out at the bottom corner, otherwise the prole will not t
on the tub. The side where the corner is not milled out goes to the top of the arch prole C2.
When the 4 proles are screwed together, the outer frame of the front is in place.

Prepare door
The diagram shows the preparation of the door, which is completely uncomplicated. The
only thing to note is that the roller C12 (with push-button) should be at the bottom, the other
C11 at the top. The door seal C13 must be tted so that it faces outwards.

Final assembly of the front and the door
Now place the front frame on the tub and screw the corner proles C4 (wide) and C4
(narrow) to the rear walls. Now push the side pane C5 into the groove of the corner
prole C4 (narrow). Now place the middle prole C7 on the other side of the pane, push
it on and screw it to C3 and C2 at the top and bottom.
Now cut the wide at gaskets C6 to length and then push them from the outside into
the corner prole C4 (narrow) and into the middle prole C7. The best way to do this is
to use a small wooden wedge to press the at gaskets in evenly and completely. When
screwing the prole C3 with the screw C1 to the tub, make sure that the middle prole
C7 is exactly perpendicular. To do this, align the prole C7 with a spirit level and only
then pre-drill the hole for the screw C1 and screw it in. Now hang the door at the top,
then press the button on the roller at the bottom and thus clamp the door in the guide.

TIP:
If the magnetic lock does not close the door because the door is not exactly perpendicular,
you can adjust the height of the door precisely on the upper rollers C11. This also applies if
you cannot engage the lower roller C12 in the guide in prole C3 because it is then too tight
or even too loose.
Last but not least, when everything is aligned and plumb, simply place the lid on top of the
cabin and screw it to the back walls.
Hose connections
Now connect the hoses for the individual functions to the four-way distributor at the top of
the tting. Starting at the top and then going clockwise, connect the hoses in the following
order. First the rain shower, then the back massage, then the bath spout and nally the
hand shower. The armoured hoses for the shower water supply come to the dual connec-
tion at the bottom, with the cold water on the left at the blue point and the hot water on the
right at the red point.

Install drain pipes
Now push the tub into place and align it once again. The drain is in the oor, but the waste
pipe can also be attached to a drain in the wall, but not higher than 6 cm so that the drain
is still guaranteed. The HT 40 waste water pipe used for this purpose is included in the
delivery.

Reattach apron
When the tub is nished and professionally connected, the sides are faced again.
To do this, simply tilt the tub slightly and raise it to click the side parts underneath, now just
screw them in place and put the cover cap on the screw.
Sealing
It is necessary to draw a silicone joint between the tub and the C3 prole as well as be-
tween the front glass pane and the C3 prole from the inside (see illustration).
If you wish, you can of course also draw a silicone joint between the tub and the rear walls.
When doing so, however, it is essential that you leave the three drainage openings centrally
under the rear walls, the glass front next to the doors and the panel open. Please do NOT
seal these with silicone.
Attention:
Please seal the dashed areas
from the inside with silicone!
1. all around between the tub
and the aluminium proles
2. only in the front area be-
tween front glass and front
curved aluminium prole

Commissioning/leak test
For the leak test, please now connect the water and the waste water with the hose connec-
tions. It is important that the tub continues to stand away from the wall so that you can still
get behind the shower panel.
Before you put the line under water pressure, please note that the shower panel has only
been pre-assembled by the factory to make it easier for you to set it up. It is essential that
you recheck all screw connections and tighten them if necessary. This applies to the seat,
the nozzles and the clamps. Only when all this has been checked may you open the water.
Now test all the functions that have to do with water, one after the other. Check the hand
shower, then the rain shower and the back massage. It is best to do this in pairs. One
stands in front of or inside the shower cubicle, the other stands behind the shower cubicle
and looks at the hose connection and the function that is currently being tested. If a screw
connection is not properly tight, check whether the seal in the screw connection is properly
seated and whether it is screwed tight enough. After the tightness test, the electrical func-
tions can now be tested. When the plug is plugged in, you can test the light, radio, etc.

Shower maintenance and cleaning
1. Clean the tub and shower enclosure with a mild liquid detergent and a soft cloth.
Caution: Never use acetone, cleaning agents containing ammonia or coarse-grained
scouring agents!
2. Clear the shower drain regularly of hair and the like to prevent clogging.
3. Use an acrylic care product for the bathtub and the panel to protect the surface from
scratches.

Contents:
1x NANO NT GLASS & CERAMIC (easy to clean)
1x NANO NT CLEANER
1x CLEANING WIPE
1x POLISHING CLOTH
1x PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Resistant to steam cleaners * Very durable long-term protection * Lasts for many
months, depending on use * Minimal care and cleaning eort * No more expensive
cleaning agents required * Dirt can no longer adhere or is easier to clean (easy-to-clean)
* Very easy to use
THE NANO NT GLASS & CERAMIC 2 COMPONENT SET is a coordinated cleaning and
surface nishing system that generates a very high-quality and long-lasting „easy-to-clean-
eect“ on glass and ceramic surfaces.
The applied material creates a thin lm on the surface that reduces the adhesion of dirt and
foreign substances and allows water to roll o better.
4. Small scratches can be polished with e.g. toothpaste and a soft cloth.
5. Make sure that the drains, which are located in the centre of the bathtub underneath
the rear walls, are always open. Otherwise, if they become blocked, the water will not
drain back into the inside of the tub. There is a risk that too much water will accumulate
and then run out over the protective wall.
6. Before using the whirlpool system for the rst time, it should be rinsed with disinfectant.
It is then sucient to repeat the disinfection after approx. 5 baths. Disinfection should
also be carried out if the whirlpool system is not used for a longer period of time.
