Cleaning

Warning! Many household cleaners contain

abrasive and chemical substances, and should not

be used for cleaning plated or plastic ttings.
These nishes should be cleaned with a mild

washing up detergent or soap solution, and then
wiped dry using a soft cloth.

Use your thumb or a soft cloth to wipe any
limescale from the soft nozzles and the front
surface of the showerhead spray plate.

Do not use descalents on this product.

9. Remove the two backplate screws.

10. Place the backplate against the nished wall

INSTALLATION

General

1. Make sure that the shower ttings are installed by a

competent installer.

2. Installations must comply with Water Regulations (Bye­Laws, Scotland), and any other Local Regulations and
Building Regulations in force at the time of installation.

3. Before installation carefully inspect the new xture for

any signs of damage.

4. The shower fittings should be positioned at a
convenient height for all the family and so that the
deluge head will discharge down the centre of a bath
or shower cubicle. Position the deluge head to spray
across rather than towards the opening of the cubicle
(if applicable) and also away from the shower control.

5. Special consideration should be given to the xing

arrangements when installing onto a dry lined, stud
partition, shower cubicle or laminated panel wall
structures. Installers may wish to obtain alternative

proprietary cavity xings, or choose other options,
however, these methods of xing are beyond the

scope of this guide.

Install the Shower Arm and Showerhead

The shower arm and showerhead must be tted after the

installation of the shower control and the outlet pipe must

protrude 18 mm (± 2 mm) from the nished wall surface.
The outlet pipe must be tted at a suitable height and so

that the showerhead will discharge down the centre of a
bath or shower cubicle.
