WARNING

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL INSTALL THIS SHOWER

CABIN AND INCLUDE THE ASSISTANCE OF A SECOND PERSON TO INSTALL THE DOOR UNIT.

!

INSTALLATION OF THE SHOWER DOORS BY AN INEXPERIENCED PERSON MAY RESULT IN

GLASS BREAKAGE AND, CONSEQUENTLY, CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Compare items on your invoice with what you have received. Carefully review the Packing List on
page 2. If any items are missing contact Vigo Industries at 1-866-591-7792.

Flat head screwdriver

WARNING

!

Handle fragile items with care to prevent injury or material damage.

Glass on panels and doors is tempered glass and must never be cut to prevent personal injury.

IMPORTANT

Fiberglass or acrylic construction might not be sufficiently strong enough to support the shower

door enclosure. You should use the wood framing studs from behind the face edge of the stall to

provide a secure mounting to the door. Apply a bead of silicone between the walls and base of

the stall.

For optimum performance, you should install the shower door perfectly level on a level surface.
Failure to do so will lead to water leakage and potential property damage.

When installing use heavy duty gloves.

FOR THE MATTE GLASS MODELS:  Oil secretions from skin will leave transparent spots on the
matte side of the glass.  Use a degreasing, non-abrasive cleaner to remove these secretions.

The same will happen if you get silicone on the matte glass.  Use a silicone remover to remove
these stains.

IMPORTANT:

THE CLEAR GLASS MODEL HAS A REVERSIBLE DOOR AND CAN BE INSTALLED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE.
THE TEXTURED SIDE OF THE MATTE GLASS UNIT SHOULD ALWAYS BE INSTALLED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE

UNIT. (SEE CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM BELOW)
