General
We recommend that the product be brought into the room where it is to be installed
and left to acclimatise to room temperature, this will reduce the possiblilty of
condensation on electronic components. This product works best when supply
temperatures and pressures remain stable and within the product specifications, refer
to section
'Specifications'
. If the supply conditions fall outside the specifications,
the shower may go into a safe shut down condition.
If pipework and/or electrical cables enter the shower from the rear through a hole in
the wall, provision must be made to prevent water ingress back into the wall structure.

Refer to section:
'Important Safety Information'
first.
1.1
The shower is designed to operate with gravity fed water supplies providing
pressures from 0.8 kPa * (0.008 bar / 80 millimetres head) to 100 kPa (1 bar
/ 10 metres head) (i.e. the vertical distance from the base of the cold cistern
to the top of the main unit of the shower). The unit should be never be fitted
to a mains supply or where the above maximum pressure may be exceeded.
Failure to comply with this may result in product damage leading to significant
uncontrolled leakage from the unit.
* Note: In practice the minimum head required will increase with pipe length
and the guide given in the section
'Pipework'
should be used to make sure
that adequate head is available for any given installation.
The shower
MUST
have its own separate supply from the cistern.
