Remember to upgrade the cable if it runs in thermal insulation in a loft, or for a longer distance.
2. A means for disconnection in all poles
must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance
with the wiring rules. We recommend ceiling switches.
3. Cut back cable as in diagram 4.
Connect cable to terminal block making sure that all the retaining
screws are
VERY TIGHT
and that no cable insulation is trapped
under the screws.
4. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
5. Fit the corner section back into the backplate
6. Fit the front cover back into position making sure the knob
is aligned correctly with the flow valve (see diagram 5).
Start by locating the “tang” around the recess for the
outlet pipe, and then “roll” the front cover over the knob and
onto the top of the backplate.
Secure the top and bottom fastening screws.
7. Operate the shower first without the handset to flush
out particles, fit the handset and then operate the
shower as on page 5 and check:
a. That the water gets to a satisfactory temperature.
b. Water flow can be adjusted by knob “A”.
c. Check again for leaks
d. That the holes in the spray plate are not blocked
8. DEMONSTRATE OPERATION TO USERS
IMPORTANT!
Ensure Knob “A” is turned fully anti-clockwise to allow for maximum water flow,
Before electrical connections are made to the shower.

How to use your Shower
s
1. Turn on the electrical supply at the isolating switch.
2. Press the
start / stop button “B”
(see diagram 6).
This will turn on the shower, the water will flow, and the
neon indicator light will glow.
It is recommended that you do not wholly enter the
water spray during this period, especially if the shower
has just been used.
3. If the water is not at your
desired
showering
temperature
, turn the
knob “A”
a small amount.
(Anti-clockwise for cooler, clockwise for warmer).
4. To
finish
showering, press the
start / stop button
“B”
5. Switch off the electricity supply at the isolating switch.
6. There are a number of defined spray plate settings
adjustable by rotating the handset spray plate.
Notes
•
Wait 20 seconds for the temperature to stabilise after each adjustment.
•
The neon indicates when the heaters are on and, if the shower has been recently used,
can take up to 20 seconds to come on.
(During this time the water may go from hot to cold before stabilising).
•
The knob position will be approximately the same each time the shower is used, varying
only with incoming water temperature or pressure changes (e.g. from summer to winter).
•
During normal operation, if an overheated water temperature is sensed then the heater will
switch off and the neon indicator will go out.
The water will continue to flow and cool down before the heater switches back on again.
•
Knob “A” is not a tap and does not turn the water off.
WARNING: DO NOT SWITCH THE SHOWER ON IF YOU SUSPECT IT OF BEING FROZEN.
WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE SURE IT HAS THAWED OUT
How to maintain your Shower
.
It is recommended that the shower unit and hose etc. be cleaned using a soft cloth and that the use
of abrasive or solvent based cleaning fluid be avoided, especially on any plated finishes.
We recommend that before any cleaning, the isolating switch be turned off, thus avoiding accidentally
switching on the shower.
WARNING: YOU MUST REGULARLY INSPECT THE SHOWER HOSE FOR WEAR AND DAMAGE.
REPLACE IF NECESSARY, OR EVERY TWO YEARS, WITH AN APPROVED PART.
WARNING: IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SHOWER,
YOU MUST REGULARLY CLEAN THE SHOWER HANDSET.
All water contains particles of lime-scale, which build up in the shower handset and
unit reducing the performance.
It is therefore important to clean the handset by simply rubbing the rubber nozzles
or
Soaking in proprietary lime-scale remover and rinsing thoroughly (handset may vary).
Note:
After use it is normal for some water to drip from the shower handset for a
few moments. This inhibits lime-scale build-up over prolonged use.
