General advice to  
shower unit users

SECTION 1

Packing contents

6. All plumbing connections must be 

completed before making the electrical 
connections.

7.  The outlet of your shower acts as a vent 

and must 

NOT

 be connected to any form 

of tap or fitting not recommended by 
Dimplex Showers Ltd.

8.  Always switch off at the isolating switch 

when not in use.

The following points will help you to 
understand how your Dimplex 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 shower head must be cleaned regularly to 
remove scale and debris. If the water becomes 
hot and you are unable to obtain cooler water, 
check the shower head for blockage.

connected to a 15mm cold water mains 
supply.

 Do not connect to a tank supply 

unless a suitable booster pump is 
fitted.

3.  The minimum recommended running 

water pressure to which the shower heater 
may be connected is 15 lb/sq in (1 Bar). 
Running pressure at 8 litres per minute. The 
maximum static pressure recommended is 
150 lb/sq in (10 Bar).

4.  The shower unit must not be fitted where 

it may be exposed to frost, for example 
in an outdoor shower area.

 The shower 

must not be used if suspected of being 
frozen. 

Frost damage is not covered by the 

guarantee.

5. 

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.

SECTION 11

Operating features

Power Neon Indicator

 

The ‘Power’ neon indicator will be illuminated 
when the shower unit is switched on and 
water is flowing on the heat settings. The light 
will not come on when the shower unit is on 
the cold setting.

Auto Reset Neon Indicator

 

The Auto Reset Neon Indicator will be 
illuminated during normal operation if an 
overheat temperature is sensed, power to the 
element will be cut off, water will continue to 
flow until the unit has cooled sufficiently. Power 
to the elements will be automatically restored.

If the Auto Reset Neon Indicator persistently 
functions, ensure that the shower head is free 
from scale and debris which will increase the 
flow of water through the unit.

SECTION 12

Shower head cleaning instructions

IN SHOWER MAINTENANCE

To break away scale 
deposits on a daily basis 
simply rub your thumb over 
the rubber nipples whilst the 
shower is running.

The shower head should be cleaned 
periodically to remove limescale or debris 
which will reduce the performance of the 
shower. The frequency of cleaning will vary 
according to local water quality. In hard water 
areas cleaning will be needed more often 
than in soft water areas. A liquid non-abrasive 
bathroom cleaner may be used on external 
surfaces of the handset.
