6. FIXING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL
Position your shower on the wall so that it will NOT
be in the direct water spray from the shower handset
when fixed.
You may wish to consider mounting the unit so that
the shower handset could be used over a sink for
washing hair.
The shower unit should be positioned so that the
shower head cannot be immersed in the bath or
shower tray when hanging down. A shower hose
retainer is supplied with the accessories (see pages
3 and 9).
The unit can be mounted at a lower level if required
for less abled users and for use with a shower seat.
Remove the four front cover fixing screws and lift
the cover off complete with the warmer (+) and
cooler (-) push buttons and flow control knob in
place. Note the connector and lead attached to the
control PCB mounted on the shower back plate.
This will require connecting to inside of the front
cover before completing the installation.
Having decided on the water and cable entry points
and chosen a flat piece of wall hold the shower
vertically against the wall and mark the top two
fixing holes.
Carefully drill the two holes as marked using a sharp
5.5mm masonry drill after first making certain there
are no pipes or wires behind the proposed holes.
Insert the wall plugs and screws provided leaving the
screw head proud by approximately 5mm. The shower
can now be hung on these screws.
Make sure that the shower is positioned vertically now
mark and drill the lower slotted fixing hole. Then fix
the shower to the wall. Do not fully tighten the screws
at this stage.
The shower back plate has moulded knock out
sections which are clearly indicated to allow the
chosen service entry option to be removed prior to
final fix.
