CAPABILITIES, OR LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE IF THEY HAVE

BEEN GIVEN SUPERVISION OR INSTRUCTION CONCERNING USE OF THE

APPLIANCE IN A SAFE WAY AND UNDERSTAND THE HAZARDS INVOLVED.

CHILDREN SHALL NOT PLAY WITH THE APPLIANCE.

CLEANING AND USER MAINTENANCE SHALL NOT BE MADE BY CHILDREN

 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.

 ALL WIRING AND INSTALLATION

MUST BE SUPERVISED BY A
SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.

 THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

EARTHED.

 The installation must be in accordance with

the current edition of BS.7671 (

the ‘IET 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.

 This appliance must

NOT

be fitted where it

may be subjected to freezing conditions.

 DO NOT SWITCH THE APPLIANCE

ON IF YOU SUSPECT IT OF BEING
FROZEN. WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE
SURE IT HAS THAWED OUT.

 This appliance is not suitable for mounting

into steam rooms or steam cubicles.

 Isolate the mains electrical and water supply

before removing the appliance front cover.



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 the
Manufacturer’s recommended fittings.



This shower is designed and approved to
EN-60335 with the handset provided.
Under no circumstances must any handset
that is not approved by the manufacturer
be used with this product.

 Take care to avoid restricting the outlet of the

pressure relief device (fig.15).
If water is discharged from the pressure relief
device, maintenance will be required before
the appliance can be safely used.

 We

DO NOT

recommend this appliance be
used in heavy or unsupervised commercial
applications.

**In order to avoid damage to your shower,
isolator must be turned off between uses**
The following points will help you have a greater
understanding of how your shower works:

 The electric heating elements operate at a

constant rate, dependent on your chosen
power setting.
The required water temperature is achieved
by adjusting the rate of water flow.
The higher the water flow 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.
In summer the ‘Eco’ power setting may give
adequate hot water.

 Your shower is designed to stabilise

temperature changes caused by water

3

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 (page.4)
If the water pressure falls below the minimum
pressure required, it is likely that the pressure
switch will turn off the power to the heating
elements, resulting in a cold shower.



DO NOT

place items such as soap, shampoo
or other such bottles on top of the unit.
Liquid could leak through the joint between
the cover and backplate, and possibly damage
the sealing rubber.

WARNING:
ALL WIRING AND INSTALLATION
MUST BE SUPERVISED BY A
SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.

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 (fig.1) and mark its
position.

For accessory details see fig.9 for
White Models, or see Sheet provided for
Chrome Models.

2. Position the heater so that the showerhead

cannot be immersed in the bath or shower
tray when hanging down.
Choose a flat piece of wall to avoid the
possibility of distorting the backplate thus
making the front cover a poor fit.

3. Adjust the position to get the most

convenient arrangement taking the following
into account.

 DO NOT MOUNT THE UNIT IN

THE DIRECT HANDSET SPRAY.

 The handset must not be able to come into

contact with used water in the cubicle, bath
or basin. If it can, even after the hose has
been retained by the soap-dish (figs.1&9),
a vacuum breaker must be fitted.

4. Fix the riser rail with screws provided.

5. Remove the front cover by undoing the

retaining screws at the top and bottom of
the unit and lifting the cover off.

6. Remove the detachable lower section by

undoing the 2 x fixing screws (fig.2).

7. Decide the position of the electrical cable

into the unit. Your shower offers the ability

2

1

4

to have the connections on the right side or
the left. (see fig.3).

If the top entries are chosen, remove the
cable/pipe entry from fixing kit bag, and cut
away as shown (fig.4a).

If rear, bottom or side entries are chosen,
remove the relevant cable/pipe entry as shown
(fig.4b).

8. Your shower is provided with 3 wall-fixing

positions in the backplate.
The top-fixing hole is a ‘key-hole’ slot,
and should be marked and drilled first.
Tighten top screw with head protruding
about 10mm from the wall and hook the
backplate over the screw head.

This allows for correct and accurate
alignment of your shower before marking
and fixing the bottom position.
You may wish to leave both screws at this
stage loose as the holes are elongated to
allow for adjustment after other connections
have taken place.

b. PLUMBING

WARNING:
ENSURE THAT THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY
MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS BELOW
BEFORE CONTINUING INSTALLATION.

The heater must be connected to the mains cold
water supply.
This must have a minimum running pressure of
100kPa (1.0 bar, 15 psi) at a minimum flow rate
of 8 litres/minute*.
The maximum static pressure must be no greater
than 1000kPa (10 bar, 150 psi).
*

Minimum running pressure must be obtained

at 9 litres/minute for 9.5kW.

WARNING:
BEFORE CONNECTING THE PIPE WORK TO
THE SHOWER, ENSURE THAT THE PIPE
WORK IS FULLY FLUSHED OUT.

1. It is recommended that a WRAS (Water

Regulations Advisory Scheme) listed isolating
valve is fitted to the incoming mains cold
water before the shower unit. (see page 14)
This will allow the unit to be serviced or
exchanged without having to turn off the
water at the water stop valve.

2. The water inlet connections are plain

Ø15mm straight shanks/shafts.
They will accept a Ø15mm compression
elbow (or a Ø15mm ‘push-on elbow’ in top
or rear entry only).

If rear entry is required, take the pipework
through wall or treat as top entry with an
additional ‘Yorkshire’ elbow (soldered type)
for fitting into the rear channel. (see fig.5)
Ø15mm copper or stainless steel pipe can be
used.

The unused pipe entry MUST be sealed with
the brass compression end cap supplied.

In multiple installations, correct pipe work
sizes should be calculated to maintain
adequate flow to each shower.

3. It is permissible to use a WRAS (Water

Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved

sealant sparingly, avoiding excess finding its
way into the shower operating parts.

4. With the isolating valve connected,

flush the pipe work through to remove
any particles etc,

before making the final
connection to the shower.
Blockage in the water ways (particularly the
handset and inlet filter) will prevent the
heater working properly.

Note: You may be charged for a service call
if it is due to incorrect installation

.

5. The shower is designed to have an open

outlet and should only be used with the
manufacturers recommended fittings.
Do not connect the handset until after the
shower front cover and detachable lower
section are fitted.
