NOTE: Tempered glass cannot be cut.
Although safety tempered glass is very resistant to breakage, the
glass can still break if unequal pressure is placed on it during
installation. Use caution. In addition, the sharp corners of the
panels can damage tile and floor surfaces, so it is best to handle
the glass panels carefully and protect the edges.
MAINTENANCE: Two primary materials are used to manufacture your new Basco enclosure:
tempered glass and anodized aluminum. To assure a long lasting finish on the enclosure, wipe it down
with a towel after each use. Never use a scouring agent to clean the aluminum.
For occasional, more concentrated cleaning efforts, we find that Maintain AquaGlideXP Spray Cleaner
helps minimize water stains and oxidation. Maintain is not only extremely effective at enhancing the
long term performance of glass coated with AquaGlideXP, it can aid in cleaning untreated glass as well.
Ask your distributor about Maintain Spray or visit www.bascoshowerdoor.com/warranty-and-care/care-
and-cleaning.aspx to purchase online.
Many over the counter cleaners, if applied to aluminum and left on, will harm the metal finish and cause
permanent damage, even though their directions indicate safe use on shower doors. Be sure that any over
spray falling on the aluminum frame is rinsed thoroughly and dried.
INSTALLATION NOTES: Unpack your unit carefully and inspect for freight damage. Lay out and
identify all parts using the instruction sheets as a reference. Before discarding the carton, check to see that
no small hardware parts have fallen to the bottom of the box. If any parts are damaged or missing, refer
to the descriptions noted in the instructions when contacting your dealer for replacements.
Handle the glass panels carefully and protect the edges. Safety tempered glass is very resistant to
breakage, but the sharp corners of the panels can damage tile and floor surfaces.
Please wear safety glasses whene
ver drilling or cutting. When drilling holes in the ceramic tile or marble,
use a center punch and hammer to carefully break the surface glaze so the drill can start without skidding.
To install your BASCO Shower Door you will need the following: tape measure, level, #2 Phillips
screwdriver, 3/16” wrench, drill, 1/8” and 3/16” drill bits, hacksaw, pencil, and caulking (clear silicone
recommended). Optional tools include a miter box for cutting parts to length, files, center punch, and
masking tape.
NOTE: Tempered glass cannot be cut.
For drilling tile a 3/16” masonary bit is recommened.
