HOW TO USE YOUR EXPRESSIONS 500S SHOWER (SUMMARY)

IMPORTANT WARNINGS!

DO NOT SWITCH THE APPLIANCE ON IF YOU SUSPECT IT OF BEING FROZEN.

WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE SURE IT HAS THAWED OUT.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF WATER DISCHARGES FROM THE PRESSURE RELIEF

VALVE. MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED BEFORE THE APPLIANCE CAN BE SAFELY USED.

THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY PERSONS (INCLUDING CHILDREN

AND

THE INFIRM) WITH REDUCED PHYSICAL, SENSORY OR MENTAL CAPABILITIES, OR LACK OF

EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE, UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN SUPERVISION OR

INSTRUCTION CONCERNING USE OF THE APPLIANCE

BY A PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SAFETY.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED TO ENSURE THAT THEY

DO NOT PLAY WITH THE APPLIANCE.

1. Ensure the electricity and water are turned on to the unit.

2. Press the start / stop button “B”.
This will turn the shower on, the water will flow and the
indicator lights will glow showing chosen Power Selection.
We recommended that you do not enter the water spray
during this period, even if the shower has just been used.

3. Knob “A” controls the power selection.
Select “High”, “Med (medium)” or “Cold”

4. If the water is not at your desired showering
temperature, turn knob “C” a small amount until
you reach the desired showering temperature.

Turn clockwise (follow blue or black arrows) for cooler.
Turn anti-clockwise (follow red arrows) for warmer.

As a helpful guide the knob position is indicated by a n

umber being displayed in Window “D”.

On the scale “1” is the coolest, whilst “9” is the hottest.

5. When you have finished showering, press the start / stop button “B” again.

6. Water will continue to flow for up to 7 seconds before switching off.

This reduces the temperature of the water in the tank for the next user.

The indicator lights will go out.

7. Wait for the water to stop, switch off the electricity supply at the ceiling switch or local isolator.

Notes

• Wait 20 seconds for the temperature to stabilise after each adjustment.

• The indicator lights illuminate when the heaters are on and, if the shower has been

recently used, they may take up to 20 seconds to come on

.

During this time the water may go from very hot to cold before stabilising.

• The position of knob “C” will be approximately the same each time the shower is

used, varying only with incoming water temperature or pressure changes
(e.g. you will only need to change from summer to winter).

• During normal operation, if an overheated water temperature is sensed then the

heater will switch off and the “Overheat” light will illuminate.
Water will continue to flow and cool down before the heater switches back on again.

If you experience any difficulty with the installation or operation of your new

shower, then please refer to the “What to do if things go wrong” section in this

manual before contacting us.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a quality Creda Expressions 500S 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.

The Creda Expressions 500S is an electric shower incorporating our “Smart Technology” with a
“Set and Forget” function of a push-button start/stop facility which starts the shower at a pre-set
power and flow rate reducing the amount of adjustment required.
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 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.
