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 squegee 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.
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 whenever 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.
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.
