Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION NOTES: Unpack your unit carefully and inspect for freight damage. Lay out and
identify all parts using the instruction sheet 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 panel(s) carefully and protect the edges.
Please wear safety glasses whenever drilling or cutting. When drilling holes in ceramic tile or marble,
use a center punch and hammer to carefully break the surface glaze so the drill bit can start without
skidding.
To install your BASCO Shower Enclosure you will need the following: tape measure, level(s), #2 Phillips-
head screwdriver, drill, 1/8” & 3/16” High Speed Steel drill bits, hacksaw, pencil, sharp knife or razor
blade and caulking (clear, mildew resistant silicone recommended). Optional tools include a miter box
for cutting metal parts, file, center punch and masking tape. An additional 3/16” Masonry drill bit is
recommended for tiled applications.
The enclosure is best installed with two people.
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
door panels can damage tile and floor surfaces, so its best to handle the door panels carefully
and protect the edges.
MAINTENANCE: Two primary materials are used to manufacture your new BASCO Shower
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 pad/agent to clean the aluminum.
For occasional, more concentrated cleaning efforts, we recommend using LYSOL™ Non-Abrasive
Bathroom Cleaner works extremely well. Be sure that any over spray falling on the aluminum frame
is rinsed thoroughly and dried. Many over-the-counter cleaners, if applied to aluminum and left on,
will harm the finish and cause permanent damage, even though their directions indicate safe use on
shower doors. For more care and cleaning information, please visit our web site;

For glass treated with AquaGlide , read the following instructions:
After each use of your shower, use a small plastic bowl, pitcher or a hand held shower head to spray
the shower doors with clean cold water. Pour or spray the cold water along the top edge of the glass.
The majority of the shower’s soapy residual water will drain off. Use a small hand towel to pat dry
the remaining droplets or use a squeegee to clear the droplets.
Once a month, use a nylon sponge to go over the wet glass, rubbing in a circular motion. You should
feel “sticky” places going back to slick again. Then pour water along the top edge of the glass, as you
do after each shower use.
