The following points will help you have a greater
understanding of how your shower works:

· The electric heating elements operate at a
constant rate, dependant on your chosen

power setting.

The required water temperature is achieved
by adjusting the rate of water flow.
The higher the water flow the lower the

temperature and vice versa.

The temperature of the water supplied from
the mains can vary considerably throughout
the year from 5 to 20°C.
This means that in the winter, flow rate will be
less than in the summer to achieve the same

outlet temperature.

In summer the ‘Economy’ (2 red bars) power
setting may give adequate hot water.

· Your shower is designed to stabilise
temperature changes caused by water

pressure fluctuations.

These can result from toilets being flushed or
taps being turned on and off.
When this happens your showering
temperature will be held within a controlled
band, provided that the minimum pressure
required by the shower is maintained (page.4)
If the water pressure falls below the minimum
pressure required, it is likely that the pressure
switch will turn off the power to the heating
elements, resulting in a cold shower.

· DO NOT place items such as soap, shampoo

or other such bottles on top of the unit.
Liquid could leak through the joint between
the cover and backplate, and possibly damage
the sealing rubber.

WARNING:
ALL WIRING AND INSTALLATION
MUST BE SUPERVISED BY A
SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS SHOWER
WHERE IT MAY BE SUBJECTED TO
FREEZING CONDITIONS.

We recommend that the installation is done in
the following sequence.
a. Fixing the shower to the wall
b. Plumbing
c. Electrical connections

a. FIXING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL

1. Position the riser rail at a convenient height

for majority of users (fig.1) and mark its
position (see fig.9 for accessory details).

2. Position the heater so that the showerhead
cannot be immersed in the bath or shower
tray when hanging down.
Choose a flat piece of wall to avoid the
possibility of distorting the backplate thus
making the front cover a poor fit.

3. Adjust the position to get the most
convenient arrangement taking the following
into account.

· DO NOT MOUNT THE UNIT IN

THE DIRECT HANDSET SPRAY.

· The handset must not be able to come into

contact with used water in the cubicle, bath
or basin. If it can, even after the hose has
been retained by the soap-dish (fig.9),
a vacuum breaker must be fitted.

4. Fix the riser rail with screws provided (fig.9)

5. Remove the front cover by undoing the
retaining screws at the top and bottom of
the unit and lifting the cover off.

6. Remove the detachable lower section by
undoing the 2 x fixing screws (fig.2).

7. Decide the position of the electrical cable
into the unit. Your shower offers the ability
to have the connections on the right side or
the left. If left hand side is required the
terminal blocks will have to be moved from
the right to the left hand side (see fig.3).
