1. PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (CONT.)
IMPORTANT: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (Including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
DEFAULT PLUMBING SETTING: The shower unit is supplied for right hand
installation. To plumb the unit on the left you must remove the blanking cap and
refit it to the inlet pipe on the right hand side of the unit ensuring the metal fixing
clip is pushed firmly into the groove. When leak testing the installation you must
ensure there are no leaks from this area.
IMPORTANT: To comply with water regulations, building regulations or any
specific local water company regulations and should be in accordance with
BS EN 806. A double check valve must be fitted with all flexible shower
accessories where it is possible that the showerhead may come into contact
with used water i.e. In the bath or shower tray.
IMPORTANT: Before turning on the water supply to the shower unit the water
supply pipe should be flushed out to remove debris. After flushing the pipework
ensure that the shower unit is positioned squarely on the wall and tighten the
screws. Tighten all plumbing connections and check the pipework for leaks.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the terminal block screws are fully tightened and that
no cable insulation is trapped under screws. Ensure the cable clamp is used to
secure the cable. The earth continuity conductor of the electrical installation must
be effectively bonded to earth on the fuse board.
CAUTION: Check there are no hidden cables or pipes before drilling holes for
wall plugs. Exercise great care when using power tools near water. The use of a
residual current device (RCD) is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Turn the Temperature control knob anticlockwise until the valve is
fully open before switching on the unit. This will ensure a fast fill up of the unit
when the shower is first switched on.
IMPORTANT: The shower unit must be full of water before heat settings are
used.
WARNING: If re-starting the shower immediately after stopping, be aware that a
slug of hot water will be expelled for the first few seconds.
ATTENTION: Do not operate the shower unit if the showerhead or hose
becomes damaged. The shower is designed and approved to EN-60335 with
the showerhead provided. Under no circumstances must any showerhead that
is not approved by the manufacturer be used with this product.
IMPORTANT: The shower spray head and shower filter MUST be cleaned
regularly to remove scale and debris. The frequency of cleaning will vary
according to local water quality. If the water becomes hot and you are unable to
obtain cooler water, immediately check the showerhead and filter for blockage.
See section 12 for comprehensive cleaning advice.
WARNING
DO NOT FIT ANY ECO FLOW CONTROL SYSTEMS OR FLOW CONTROL/REDUCING
WASHERS IN THE SHOWER HOSE/SHOWERHEAD OR ANY OTHER PART
OF THE SHOWER UNIT.
ONLY USE THE BLUE SEALING WASHER SUPPLIED WITH THE SHOWER HOSE.

2. IMPORTANT
n Shower Installation must be carried out by a
suitably qualified person and conform with IEE
Regulations and comply with water regulations,
building regulations or any specific local water
company regulations and should be in accordance
with BS EN 806.
n This shower unit is designed to be connected to a
15mm cold water mains supply. Do not connect to a
tank supply unless a suitable booster pump is fitted.
n To make sure of activating the heating elements,
the shower must be connected to a mains water
supply with a minimum running pressure of 100kPa
(15 lb/sq in) - (1 Bar) at a minimum flow rate of
8 litres per minute. The maximum static pressure
must be no greater than 1000kPa (150 lb/sq in) -
(10 Bar). (Minimum running pressure must be
obtained at 9 litres/minute for 9.5kW and 11 litres/
minute for the 10.5kW).
n The shower unit must not be fitted where it may
be exposed to frost, for example in an outdoor area.
The shower must not be used if suspected of being
frozen. Frost damage is not covered by the guarantee.
n Plumbers jointing compound must not be used.
In instances of difficult joints use P.T.F.E. Tape.
The use of compound invalidates the guarantee.
n All plumbing connections must be completed
before making the electrical connections.
n The outlet of your shower acts as a vent and must
NOT be connected to any form of tap or fitting not
recommended by the MX Group.
n Always switch off at the isolating switch when not
in use.
3. GENERAL ADVICE TO SHOWER UNIT USERS
The following points will help you to understand how
your MX shower unit operates.
The flow rate of water passing through the shower
unit determines the water temperature. The lower the
flow the warmer the water, the higher the flow the
cooler the water.
The temperature produced by the shower unit will
vary between seasons on any one setting of the
temperature control. This is due to variance in the
temperature of the water supply, which becomes
cooler in winter than summer.
The stabiliser valve maintains an almost constant
shower temperature during mains water pressure
changes.
If changes in temperature are experienced in normal
use, it is likely to be caused by water pressure falling
below the minimum level. Falls in water pressure may
be due to water being drawn off at other points within
the building.
The showerhead and filter must be cleaned regularly
to remove scale and debris. If the water becomes hot
and you are unable to obtain cooler water, check the
showerhead and filter for blockage.
