Cleaning & MaintenanceRegularShower Cubicles do not require any major maintenance, but you shouldfollow these simple instructions:

Tray and EnclosureTo retain the surface quality of your shower cubicle, weeklycleaning using bathroom cleaning mousse or washing-up liquid,warm water and a soft cloth is recommended. For the slip resistantshower tray area you may need to use a stiff brush. Stubborn stainsmay require a non-scratch liquid cleaner.

Do not use oven cleaner or a scouring powder on any of thesurfaces. Use of scourers will dull the finish of the surfaces andspoil the appearance of your tray and enclosure.

Shower Head (Handset)If you live in a ‘hard-water’ area, the holes in the shower head willblock more quickly. This will result in a poor spray and a reductionin the heating ability of some instant water heaters.Vigorously rub shower head to remove scale build up.

MonthlyPump Maintenance (for trays with pumped waste). NOTE: Disconnect theelectrical lead before removing the pump.Regularly (monthly) lift pump from the socket in the base and removeforeign matter from the blades. Scrub the area around the pump with along handled stiff brush. This will reduce the build up of scum and odours.Check that the small bore hole adjacent to the pump blades is clean.Replace pump cover making sure that the pump cover touches the showerbase.

To ensure good performance regularlyclean pump and shower head.

AnnualWe recommend that the unit is servicedby a qualified Chiltern Invadex engineer.This will ensure that the unit complieswith current health and safety regulations.

Cross InfectionWarning: If this unit is to be utilized by many different bathers, then wewould strongly recommend that this unit be cleaned with a medicaldisinfectant. Please contact your local infection control nurse for furtheradvice.
