POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS

Cleaning the Acrylic Shower Trays

Using the Siphon Key of the Shower Tray

10

1-  To clean the dirt which accumulates inside the siphon you can use the siphon key found in the package provided together with 

the shower tray.

2-  Use the siphon key as shown in the picture in order to lift the siphon cover.
3-  After lifting the inner chamber as shown in Figure 4, perform the required cleaning and replace the parts in their places.

•  Right after you use your shower tray, clean it with a liquid bath cleaner or a decalcifier and a soft cloth and warm water. 

Otherwise unwanted soap products, dirt and hard water will create a thin layer on the acrylic surface and it will become more 
difficult to clean.

•  Do not use hydrochloric acid, abrasives, powdered detergents and cream detergents that contain powders, soft soap and 

hard/scratching cleaning sponges for cleaning your shower tray.

Note: When products with cabins, particularly patterned products are concerned, clean the glasses with a soft cloth and warm 
water. Do not use hydrochloric acid, abrasive / powdered / liquid detergents soft soap or hard/scratching cleaning sponges. 
Do not let organic dilutions, paint removers, acetone and other solvents contact the glass.

•  Acrylic is durable against acids and alkalines. However do not let organic solutions used in dry cleaning, paint remover 

substances, acetone or other solvents to your compact system.

•  Keep lighted cigarettes away from the product.
•  If the construction activities in the bath will continue after installation, do not remove the folio layer on the product and apply 

full protection to the product.

•  If your shower tray is new, the protective film layer on it might not have 

been removed.

•  If dullness/scratches occur after a certain period of use, you may be using 

incorrect cleaning materials. See the 'Cleaning of Bathtubs with Massage’ 

section.

•  Check if the Wall hangers are installed on the wall or not. 

  The wall hangers must be used in order to preserve the rigidity of the 

shower tray.

•  Check the silicone application between the shower tray and the wall

•  Check the isolation of the cabin over the shower tray.

•  Hair, soap, etc. could clog the siphon in time. Clean the siphon drain with a 

drain opener from time to time.

If your problems persist please contact the nearest VitrA-Artema Authorized Service.

• The surface of the shower tray is dull
  and/or scratched.
