1 GENERAL
1.1 Isolate the electrical supply before removing
the cover.
1.2 Read all of these instructions and retain
them for later use.
1.3 DO NOT take risks with plumbing or
electrical equipment.
1.4 Isolate electrical supplies BEFORE proceeding
with the installation.
1.5 Contact Customer Service (see back page)
if the unit shows a distinct change in
performance.
1.6 The mesh grill on the air inlet should be
regularly inspected for any build up of fluff
and cleaned if found.
1.7 This product is not suitable for mounting
into shower cubicles, steam rooms or steam
cubicles.
1.8 To enable future servicing to be carried out
on the unit:
a) When installed in a loft space the body
dryer must be sited in an accessible and safe
location.
b) A safe means of access must be provided
into the loft e.g. fixed loft ladder.
c) Ceiling joists in the loft must be adequately
boarded to provide safe unobstructed access
to and around the body dryer.
d) There must be adequate lighting in the
loft for servicing purposes.
2 ELECTRICAL
2.1 The electrical installation must comply
with BS7671 ‘Requirements for electrical
installations” (IEE wiring regulations),
Building Regulations or any particular
regulations as specified by the local Electrical
Supply Company.
2.2 The appliance and any associated electric
shower MUST be earthed using the main
feed earth wire connections provided in the
appliances.
2.3 In accordance with ‘The Plugs and Sockets,
etc (Safety) Regulations 1994’, this appliance
is intended to be permanently connected
to the fixed wiring of the electrical mains
system.
2.4 Make sure all electrical connections are tight
to prevent overheating.
2.5 Fuses DO NOT provide personal protection
against electric shock.
2.6 To enhance electrical safety a 30mA residual
current device (RCD) MUST be installed in
all body dryer/shower circuits. This may be
part of a consumer unit or a separate circuit.
2.7 Switch off the unit immediately at the pull
cord isolation switch if the unit comes into
contact with water. DO NOT reconnect until
a qualified electrician has checked the unit
for safety.
2.8 The unit is designed to work in association
with an instantaneous electric shower where
the circuit protective device (fuse) is 40A or
45A rating. No other electrical equipment
i.e. extractor fans or pumps should be
connected to the body dryer unit.
2.9 Always electrically isolate the dryer or
dryer/shower combination at the pull cord
isolation switch when not in use. This is a
safety procedure recommended with all
electrical appliances.
2.10 As with all electrical appliances it is
recommended to have the body dryer
and any associated shower unit installation
checked at least every two years by a
competent electrician to make sure there is
no deterioration due to age and usage.
PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
F Products manufactured by Triton are safe and without risk provided they are installed, used and
maintained in good working order in accordance with our instructions and recommendations.
F All required safety features have been designed and built into the product for your complete protection.
F WARNING: Always isolate electrically the dryer or dryer/shower combination when not in
use. This is a safety procedure recommended with all electrical appliances.
F The dryer has been designed for use in a bathroom or shower room for the purpose of personal
body drying and will heat a bathroom rapidly. The dryer should not be used for any other purpose.
This dryer MUST NOT be installed directly above a bath or within a shower cubicle. It MUST
be sited as shown in Fig.3. on Page 6 of these instructions.

ADVICE TO USERS
The following points will help you understand
how the Body Dryer operates:
a. The unit consists of a high powered two
speed fan and 2 x 4.5kW heater elements
which are fully controllable using the hand-held
controller (supplied). Air is drawn in through
the filter, passed across the elements and then
discharged downwards.
b. DO NOT place pressurised aerosol cans in or
under the hot air flow. Always electrically isolate
the dryer or dryer/shower combination when
not in use.
c. Temperature sensors are fitted to the unit for
your safety. However, the best sensor is you. If
you find the airflow or room temperature rises
to uncomfortable levels switch off or regulate
the flow through use of the controller. Never
leave alone those unable to recognise or react to
discomfort with the dryer switched on.
For ideal comfort and drying time the ceiling
height should be between 2.2m to 2.5m.
The dryer has a 10-minute preset cut off.
d. The unit can be connected in combination
with an electrical shower rated from 8kW
up to 10.5kW. The electrical safety features
incorporated in the unit do not allow the Body
Dryer to be operated while the shower is on and
vice versa.
e. The hand-held controller should be kept
away from sources of water.
f. The LED’s incorporated into the cover show
the operational status of the Body Dryer or
any fault condition. If you suspect the unit to
be faulty unqualified attempts to rectify the
situation should be limited to isolating and
switching on the unit via the pull cord and
operation of the hand-held controller (see
commissioning instructions). All other problems
MUST be attended to by a competent electrician
or service engineer.
Due to continuous improvement and updating,
specification may be altered without prior notice.
Replacement parts can be ordered from Customer
Service. See ‘spare parts’ for details and part numbers.

FAULT FINDING
Follow the instructions for commissioning. If
findings do not match expectations contact
Triton Customer Service.
If the green LED is on but the unit does not
operate then the hand-held controller or its
battery should be suspected.
DO NOT attempt any repairs since
there are no user serviceable parts in
the unit.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The installation, supply cable and circuit
protection must conform with BS7671 (IEE
wiring regulations) and be sufficient for the
amperage required.
The following notes are for guidance only:
1 The body dryer must only be connected to
a 230 – 240V ac supply (single phase).
2 If an instantaneous electric shower
circuit already exists the body dryer
may be connected in series with the
shower subject to confirmation that the
electrical circuit complies with current IEE
regulations.
2.1 The electrical rating of the body dryer is
shown on the rating label within the unit.
3 Before making any electrical connection
within the installation make sure that no
terminal is live. If in any doubt switch off
the whole installation at the mains and
remove the correct circuit fuse.
4 If the installation is undertaken by
anyone who is not registered to issue
a Part P electrical certificate then it will
be necessary to notify the local Building
Control office before installing.
5 The body dryer must be connected to
its own independent electrical circuit as
determined by the IEE regulations but it
can share the same supply as an electric
shower providing the wiring connections
follow that of the wiring schematic shown
in the electrical connections section.
The body dryer MUST NOT be connected
to a ring main, spur socket outlet, lighting
circuit or cooker circuit.
Note: Safety features built into the body
dryer prevent the unit and any shower fed
via the body dryer from operating at the
same time.
5.1 The electrical supply must be adequate for
the maximum loading of the unit and/or
any existing shower circuit.
6 Check the consumer unit (main fuse
box) has a main switch rating of 80A or
above and that the fuse way will take the
necessary fuse or MCB to provide the
maximum electrical load (amps) of the
body dryer and shower if applicable.
6.1 If the consumer unit has a rating below
80A or there is no spare fuse way then the
installation may require a new consumer
unit serving the house or just the body
dryer/shower.
6.2 If you do not have the necessary supply
you will need to contact the local
electricity company regarding upgrading
the incoming supply.
