FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
TIPS
A piece of insulating or masking tape applied
to the wall before marking out the fixing
holes will help stop the drill from wandering,
particularly on tiled surfaces. When working
near a basin or bath, insert the plug in the
waste fitting so that small parts cannot be lost.
Take care not to drop accessories or tools into
basin or bath.
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.

Fitting the cover into position
NOTE:
It is necessary to align the ‘D’ flat on
the reverse side of the Power Selector and
Temperature knobs with their opposite control
spindles before the cover is located.
Secure the cover with the two fixing screws
provided.
IMPORTANT: Turn the flow control knob
anti clockwise 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.
Switch on the power to the shower unit at the
consumer unit and the double pole switch. At

also activate the internal solenoid valve turning
the water on. Let the water flow through the
shower unit to release any air which may be in
the system and fill the shower unit with water.
IMPORTANT: The shower unit must be full
of water before heat settings are used.
Turn the top power selector knob to the
STOP/START
position (

commence showering.
SECTION 6
Electrical connection
Warning! This appliance must be earthed
The shower unit must be permanently
connected to the electricity supply, direct from
the consumer unit via a double pole linked
switch with a minimum contact gap of 3mm.
The switch must be readily accessible and
clearly identifiable and out of reach of a person
using a fixed bath or shower tray, unless the
switch is cord operated. The wiring must be
connected to the switch without the use of a
plug or socket outlet.
The cable size required is determined by the kW
rating of the shower and the distance between
the shower and the consumer unit. The table
below will help you choose the correct cable
for your installation, but it will depend upon the
precise circumstances of the installation. If you
are in any doubt consult an electrician.
