Check the contents of the pack carefully before installation.
Simpsons will not be held responsible for any de-fit / re-fit costs
where faulty product has been fitted.
If any fault is found with materials or workmanship, it must be
reported immediately to the manufacturer. Remedial action will
be taken, based on information received, on condition that:
1. Full details are supplied to the manufacturer;
2. The enclosure has not been modified or tampered with;
3. The manufacturer is informed of any damage/shortages
prior to installation.
We do not accept responsibility for any problems that may occur
through incorrect installation.
The success of the installation and operation of any shower
enclosure is, of course, dependant on the squareness, alignment
and construction of the walls to which fixing is to be carried out.
VERY IMPORTANT
You must complete all tiling and grouting, and the shower tray
MUST be level and fully sealed to the tiles before installation. If
you do not fit the enclosure onto a tiled surface, or seal the tiles
to the tray before installation, water may soak into the wall behind
the wall channels.

The installation instructions are based on typical use and
conditions.

Warning!
Please check for any hidden pipes or cables before drilling holes
in the wall.
To stop the drill bit slipping, masking tape can be applied to the
tiles when preparing the holes.
When using power tools always follow the manufacturers user
instructions.
Do not sit the enclosure on a bed of silicone, as this will also stop
any water from draining back into the tray.
DO NOT SEAL THE ENCLOSURE TO THE TRAY ON THE
INSIDE.
If the enclosure is sealed to the tray on the inside, any water that
may get into the framework will not be able to drain back into the
tray, this may cause the enclosure to leak.
Leave the silicone sealant to dry for 24 hours before using the
enclosure.
