DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS PRODUCT WE HIGHLY ADVISE THE PURCHASE AND FITTING OF A WATER SOFTENER
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO HOUSE MAINS
WHEN YOUR ITEM IS ASSEMBLED ALWAYS USE THE SERVICES OF A FULLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL COMPANY TO COMPLETE CONNECTION FROM
SHOWER TO HOUSE SUPPLY. LAWS DEMAND IN MANY CASES YOU DO THIS AND YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID REGARDS ELECTRICAL ITEMS IF THIS IS NOT
UNDERTAKEN.
YOURS AND OTHERS SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT. NEVER ATTEMPT THIS YOURSELF.
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 (not central heating plastic type! )
from 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.
ATTENTION
ALWAYS FIT EASY TO GET TO TAPS ON BOTH HOT AND COLD WATER SUPPLY. AS A DISHWASHER OR WASHING MACHINE, THIS
PRODUCT MUST BE ISOLATED WHEN NOT IN USE. FLEXI SUPPLY HOSES (SUPPLIED) COUPLE HERE AS ORIGIN OF SUPPLY

Your electrical contractor should understand ALL legal requirements 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 an RCD unit. We leave it this way for you to connect this your own way due to continued additions
to current regulations. As at October 2010 we offered two methods.
1) Connect within current laws and IP directives using plug and RCD provided with steam version or supply one for non steam v ersion
2) (Preferred) Wire into isolated fused feed connecting directly to the house consumer/service box. Remove the fitted plug an d ensure the Consumer unit has capabilities to
replace RCD feature if RCD is removed.
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. Please note earth is required and found on chassis of shower tray. A fu rther earth is required from Steam Generator
unit. Each earth must ground through power supply line.

Whilst the next steps show you how to assemble your shower we want to make sure you have a correct build to ensure you get a trouble free shower. Therefore our advice
is to follow the instructions and perform a dry run to ensure you are confident with the build and you understand fully how t he unit is assembled. When we use the word
“DRY RUN” this means you do not silicone anything, just simply construct the shower, align, drill and screw everything together. Once y ou are happy with the build take the
unit apart and carry out the final fix.

Pressure Requirements from your house supply
We recommend a bar pressure between 2.5 and 3.4 BAR. If you have a combi boiler system no problem should be experienced. If you have a gravity feed older type
installation (hot water tank type usually less than 1 bar) you will almost certainly need a pump. We cannot advise on which t ype of pump is used, location or design because
all house plumbing layouts vary. This is a job for your installer/plumber. The end delivery however must fall within the scop e above.
Debit Requirements
You will need the debit capabilities of at least 10 litres per minute. Again an average combi boiler will supply this but ple ase check if you have a gravity feed system.
Important Note Do not exceed 3.4 BAR pressure under any circumstances. Warranty is void if so as damage will occur. If you have a combi supply, please use a pressure
reducing valve if required to lower the BAR pressure to the shower.
Please Remember that this product is free standing and is designed to be pulled away from the wall. The water supply and wast e require flexible pipes. If you purchased the
fitting kit with this shower you will have the required fittings. The water supply pipes need to be at least 1 metre in lengt h and must be that of a flexi braided type..
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN IT CAN CAUSE THE CONNECTION TO POP AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF USE
Please note if a shower pump is used via gravity system we recommend a separate cold feed bypassing pump direct to generator to avoid damage to the
generator.
Further to this as you would with a washing machine or dishwasher, it is highly recommended that accessible water valve taps are installed to turn off the shower when not
In use. This will avoid any possible flooding due to a burst pipe or connection failure in the future.

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 th e shower out for servicing or should you
have the need to replace anything!
Take the shower tray and remove all the protective wrapping and fit the waste. If you purchased the fitting kit it is possibl e this may have already been fitted in the tray hole
yet please note this is only for transportation reasons therefore you will still need to ensure the correct sealing and align ment is carried out. In the side of the waste supplied
in the optional fitting kit you will notice a spigot not seen on an ordinary waste. In most cases this is blanked yet should you have a steam version you need to gently drill this
out as this item is for the steam generator drainage and will be connected in the instructions later.
Now please level the tray by firstly placing the tray in its final location and then using a spirit level, adjust the tray feet accordingly. Once you are happy with the levelling of
the tray, you can pull it out to begin the main construction.

Hand Shower
Shower Valve(s)
Connect the hoses to the corresponding inlets on the back of the shower. We suggest using tape thread to ensure a water tight seal.
Device output may differ from the image. Please refer to your outer chrome faceplate inside your Insignia shower as a referen ce point.
IF YOUR DIAL DOES NOT CORROSPOND TO THE APPROPRIATE DEVICE:
Turn on your water to the shower and note which output the water exits from then turn off the water and swap over the relevan t hose.
Alternatively remove the outer chrome knob by removing the chrome cap and loosening the grub screw (please ensure not to unsc rew fully as this will drop within the
chrome knob) this is found on the opposite side to the chrome pillar. Once you have succeeded in loosening this you can now slide your faceplate to correspond to
the device.

Connection For Tray & Column Lights
Using the supplied extension lead, connect the end with the single connection to your
tray lights. Next bring the extension lead up the back of the shower and connect one of
the plugs to the wire coming from the electric box representing the symbol as shown on

Silicone Seal where shown in red on the inside of the shower
TESTING FOR WATER LEAKS
LEAVING SHOWER 24 HOURS AFTER BUILD ALLOWING SEALENT TO CURE
With all connections tight, the waste and hoses checked, jets fully sealed, your shower
still around 18 inches from its designated final resting point and the silicone fully cured
(hence leaving for 24 hours minimum) Switch on the overhead shower NOT the massage
jets, remember these will fire water out at you and are not suitable for checking leaks as
they would normally only operate when a person is in front of them. Just use COLD water
setting as hot will make cabin misty and condensate thus the inspection becomes very
difficult. Now on the OUTSIDE of the shower inspect each joint, factory seal, hose, clip
and jet by walking from one side and going around to the back and then to the other side
finishing at the front. If you have a small leak (normally caused through insufficient sealer
or air bubble on assembly, dry the area thoroughly and reseal on the OUTSIDE. Please
remember where you see the water this may not be exactly where the leak is as it could
have run around to a low point. Never seal your inner fittings (accessories) inside unless
you feel it necessary and make sure it is thin and neat, remember you will see this for the
life of the shower! Again leave to cure and check. If all good now check shower functions
i.e. jets for back massage, foot massage, (if you have one) and finally hand show-
er, check your joints to these functions at the rear again. Never use the shower until all
checks have been made and the installer is 100% happy in the knowledge no leaks are
present.
All good?
Now push your shower FROM THE BASE NEVER GLASS OR FRAME into its final rest-
ing position. Now you can shower in the knowledge that you have no leaks a job done
well and long product life.
Happy showering!
