Mirror panels are made of a
tempered safety glass to
comply with the federal Glazing
Standards. You may notice
some distortion in the mirror as
tempered glass will not reflect
a perfectly true image. This is
an inherent condition found in
all tempered glass mirrors.
NEVER USE SCOURING POWDER, PADS OR SHARP
INSTRUMENTS ON METAL WORK OR GLASS PANELS.
The use of a squeegee following each shower is
recommended to eliminate water spots on the inside of
the glass panels.
An occasional wiping down with a mild detergent diluted
in water is all that is needed to keep the panels and
anodized aluminum parts looking new.
CAUTION: TEMPERED GLASS CANNOT BE CUT.
