Thank you for purchasing a quality Creda Aquawave Shower manufactured in England.

To enjoy your new shower at its best, please take time to read this manual thoroughly to
familiarise yourself with all instructions, BEFORE beginning installation.

Having done so, keep this manual handy for future reference.
Your shower is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water pressure fluctuations.

These can result from toilets being flushed or taps being turned on and off.
When this happens your showering temperature will be held within a controlled band, provided that
the minimum pressure required by the shower is maintained (see “Effect of Other Water Devices”).

1. Your shower has been designed for convenience, economy and safety of use, provided that it is

installed, used and maintained in good working order and in accordance with our instructions and
recommendations.

2. All wiring and installation must be supervised by a suitably qualified person.

3. THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

4. The installation must be in accordance with the current edition of BS.7671 (the “IEE Wiring

Regulations”) and “Part P” of the “Building Regulations” in force at the time of installation.

Installations outside of England and Wales must also conform to any local regulations in effect.

This appliance is intended to be permanently connected to the fixed electrical wiring of the mains
supply with its own dedicated supply.

5. This appliance must NOT be fitted where it may be subjected to freezing conditions.

6. DO NOT switch the appliance on if you suspect it of being frozen.

Wait until you are sure it has thawed out.

7. DO NOT fit any sort of tap or control on the appliance outlet. The appliance is designed to have

an open outlet and should only be used with “Creda” recommended fittings.

8. Take care to avoid restricting the outlet of the pressure relief device. If water is discharged from

the pressure relief device, maintenance will be required before the appliance can be safely used.

9. Isolate the mains electrical and water supply before removing the front cover of the appliance.

WARNING: ALL WIRING AND INSTALLATION MUST BE

SUPERVISED BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS SHOWER WHERE IT MAY BE

SUBJECTED TO FREEZING CONDITIONS

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 convenient height 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 a maximum of 0.6 metres (2ft) 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 (available from us if required).

4. Fix the riser rail with screws provided

.

The fixing holes at the base of the brackets will be disclosed by removing the plastic fronts.

Aquawave Contemporary Models (See Diagrams 5a/b and instructions supplied with accessories).
Aquawave Heritage Models (see Diagram 5c).

5. If you have not yet done so, remove the front cover assembly by undoing the retaining screws at
the top and bottom of the unit and lifting the cover off.

6.

Your shower unit not only accepts services from the top, bottom or rear.

It also accepts services from the left or right hand side of the unit.

Decide the position of

the electrical cable into the unit.

If top entry is chosen, cut away the walls in the backplate as shown in Diagram 2a.
If bottom entry is chosen, cut away

the walls in the detachable bottom
section as shown in Diagram 2b.
The detachable bottom section is
secured to the backplate by 2 screws.

7. Decide the position of entry of the

cold water pipe into the unit.
If top entry is chosen,

cut away the backplate as shown in

Diagram 2a.

If bottom entry is chosen, cut away the

walls in the detachable bottom section
as shown in Diagram 2b.

If rear, please read the section on plumbing. To aid installation, you may find it convenient to
move the flexible pressure relief valve outlet assembly by removing the two securing screws.
If you do, please ensure that they are fully tightened on re-assembly (see Diagram 2b).
