Installation Instructions .

ALL WIRING AND INSTALLATION MUST BE SUPERVISED BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS SHOWER IN A ROOM WHERE IT MAY BE SUBJECT TO FREEZING.

We recommend that the installation is done in the following sequence.
a. Fixing the shower to the wall b. Plumbing c. Electrical connections

a. Fixing the shower to the wall

1. Position the riser rail at a height convenient for majority of users
as detailed in diagram 1 and mark its position.

2. Position the heater so that the top of the unit is horizontal and
level with, or up to 0.6 metres (2ft) maximum below the top
of the riser rail.
Choose a flat piece of wall to avoid the possibility of distorting
the backplate, as this may make the front cover a poor fit.

3. Adjust the position to get the most convenient arrangement
taking the following into account.

• The heater must not be mounted in the direct spray from

the handset.

• The handset must not be able to come into contact with used water in the cubicle, bath or basin.

If it can, then a vacuum breaker must be fitted.

4. Fix the riser rail with suitable screws.
The fixing holes at the base of the brackets will be disclosed by removing the

plastic fronts.

(See diagram 9).

5. Decide the position of the electrical cable to the unit.
If top or bottom entry is chosen (according to diagram 3),
cut away the walls in the backplate as shown in diagram 2.

6. Decide the entry position of the cold water pipe into the unit.
If top, cut away the backplate.
If rear, please read the section on plumbing.
If bottom, remove the front cover (complete with knobs),
and cut away the detachable corner section as shown.

How your Creda Shower Works s

Your shower is designed for convenience, economy and safety of use.

1. Water is heated instantaneously as it flows over the heating elements in the copper cylinder (diagram 7)

2. The heaters are only switched on when sufficient water is flowing.
This is done automatically with a switch, which works on water pressure.

3. The water is turned on and off by the solenoid valve
built into the shower. This is switched on by button “B”.

4. The flow of water is automatically held at the level set
by the user even though the supply pressure may vary.

5. If the water supply falls below a set limit, the pressure
switch will operate switching off the power to the elements.

6. As a further safeguard, a thermal cut-out switches the
power off if the water temperature climbs above the set limit.
This cut-out, which gives an audible click, may also operate

due to residual heat when the shower is switched off.

It will reset itself if water is run through the shower for
10 to 20 seconds.

7. The pressure relief device is to safeguard against safeguard against
abnormal pressure conditions, and provides a level of appliance
protection should an excessive build of pressure occur within the shower.

8. The required water temperature is achieved by adjusting the rate of water flow.

Diagram 8 shows the principle involved in relating temperature rise to flow rate.
The higher the water rate the lower the temperature and vice versa.
The temperature of the water supplied from the mains can vary considerably
throughout the year from 5 to 20°C.
This means that in the winter, flow rate will be less than in the summer to achieve the
same outlet temperature.
