tray, taking particular care if they are full.

5. Once loosened, carefully remove and retain
the screw, stainless steel shower screen and
black dispersion plate. Make note of the
side of the shower screen and dispersion
plate that are facing downwards. This will
make re-assembly easier. Wash the shower
screen and dispersion plate in warm soapy
water, then dry thoroughly.

6. Remove the silicone seal with your fingers
or a pair of long-nose pliers. Insert the new
seal, flat side first, so the ribbed side is
facing you.
7. Re-insert the dispersion plate, then the
shower screen, then the screw. With your
fingers, turn the screw clockwise for
2-3 revolutions then insert the Allen Key
to tighten until the screw is flush with the
shower screen.
