REMEMBER:
These showers are designed to be free standing and movable
from their location should you have need to replace anything. ALWAYS USE Flexible braided water inlet pipes at least a metre long

house supply to the shower and again flexible waste pipe to join
to your house waste. NEVER fix with rigid pipes, never fix the unit
to the wall.
DURING BUILD, LIKE ALL SHOWERS CORRECT SEALING IS IMPERATIVE.

Your electrical contractor should understand ALL legal require-
ments of connection before undertaking any work or installation.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES UNDERTAKE THIS YOURSELF!!!
Note for electrician. This product comes with 13 amp plug(s) fitted
with RCD unit. We leave the way you prefer to connect this to yourself due to continued additions to current regulations. As at October
2010 we offered two following alternatives.
1) Connect within current laws and IP directives using plug and RCD
provided with steam version or supply one for non steam version
2) (Preferred) Wire into isolated fused feed connecting directly to
the house consumer / service box. Remove the plug / RCD fitted and
ensure the Consumer unit has capabilities to replace RCD feature.
Always use protection against electrical surge. Your shower should
be treated the same as a home computer. A surge protector should
eradicate the possibility of either the transformer or computer control being burnt out because of this reason.
Please note earth is required and found on chassis of shower tray. A
further earth is required from Steam Generator unit. Each earth
must ground through power supply line.

GREAT NOW FOR BUILD PLEASE READ ON!
TO START.
Make sure you have a clear space, remember when finished and in
place you need access to check your build and able to pull the
shower out should you need to replace anything!
Taking the tray you need to level it in order the water runs correctly down the waste. Place the tray section on the position you
require it when fully built. Now using a sprit level carefully adjust
the feet underneath. When you are happy with the result and all
feet firmly connect to the floor move the bath out to a more assessable working space.
Now secure the tray waste and seal in as would be normally undertaken with a standard shower tray. Take note of where you need
to run the flexi waste first in relationship to the house waste.
Check now the pipe attached to the spigot coming from the waste
is tight and the clip firm.

Stage two
Taking the left column with control panel on (as you look from the
front) and the centre panel, align one to the other and drill four
equally spaced holes to through the edge as they will join. Offer
these up to the correct position on the shower tray. Taking the
right jet massage column repeat the same procedure. Your will
now have the three back sections drilled ready to screw. Taking the
silicone sealer now joint each mating vertical surface making sure
the sealer will be on the shower internal side of screws. If this is
not undertaken water will ingress and leak through threads. Screw
all self tappers into the holes you drilled and make sure you have a
firm seal. Now offer this section onto the shower tray and note
the position it will fit with each side aligned to tub. Remove off the
tray and silicone seal along the area the frame is about to fit to.
When done place the frame on the tray, drill holes approx 30 cm
apart and screw the frame to the tray as you did wall to columns.
NOTE: This is a 2 person job as parts are heavy!!!
This is stage two complete.

Stage three.
Taking the left hand side glass this needs fixing to the column and
is undertaken as so in picture. Offer the wider edge up to the column front end. Seal along mating surfaces column and tray where
frame will sit now screw through pre drilled holes.

Note side glasses have cut out
to overhang tray lip slightly at
rear
Stage four.
You are now going to construct the front frame and glasses. Taking
the two cross supports, one fits at the top and one at the bottom,
note the curved edges fit towards each other so flat fact goes to
the shower tray and top cross member will be flat on the top to
accommodate the roof. We constructed these will carry the front
glasses and the door runners.
Starting with the lower one, locate the two screw holes in the side
glass as example below. Silicone along whole surface where the
tray will meet the lower cross support. And screw together. Repeat
the opposite end.
For the latest fitting instructions please visit www.insigniarange.co.uk
With the lower cross support firmly in place take the upper cross
member and repeat procedure but no sealing is required here!
Bottom joint should be neat and tidy as picture right for bottom
and left for top.
Taking now one of the two corner fascias (yours could be squared
not curved as picture) seal in the two channels and press firmly
over one front upright to fit as picture shows. Repeat other end.
When complete locate screw holes inside the cabin and taking a
white washer place the screw through it and firmly screw into each
pre drilled hole.
