FIXING THE UNIT TO THE WALL
Deciding the position
If being used in a public place, position the unit out of reach to discourage vandalism.
Fit the unit onto a flat piece of wall, well away from any potential splashes of water or spray.
Position the unit either upright or lengthways (diagram 1a/b), whichever is most convenient for
plumbing and wiring, keeping the hot water pipe length to a minimum in order to save energy.
To maintain the integrity of the IPX4 Protection Rating,
the unit MUST NOT be mounted upside down (diagram 1b)
If the unit is to supply a basin, you can fit it either above or below the basin.

Deciding the wiring route
You have a choice of whether to feed the electric cable
through the side or through the back of the unit.
If it going through the side of the unit, cut out the plastic lug
to expose the grommet (diagram 2).
If is going through the back of the unit, cut through the
grommet on the backplate with a sharp knife (Take Care!).
Make sure you do not remove the grommet from the
backplate (diagram 3).
Feed the cable through the grommet before you fix the unit to the wall.
Fixing to the wall
Undo the retaining nuts and take the front cover
off the unit. Hold the backplate in position against
the wall whilst you mark the four fixing holes.
Drill the holes and fix the unit to the wall using
the screws supplied.
