Installation Guide

IMPORTANT: 

The use of connections within the unit  or other points in the shower circuit to 

supply power  to other equipment such as an extractor fan or pump  etc will invalidate the 
guarantee. 

The diagram below shows a schematic wiring diagram.

IMPORTANT: 

It is necessary to align the 

control knobs on the cover with the opposite 
control spindles mounted on the back plate 
before the front cover is fi tted. The sealing 
cord should be located in groove.

1. 

First turn the power selector knob; 

identifi ed by the solid blue line, to the 

cold 

position. 

2. 

Then turn the temperature control knob  

anti-clockwise

 to the mechanical stop 

position (minimum temperature).

3.

 On the shower back plate make sure that 

the power selector spindle key way is 
pointing 

LEFT 

and the temperature spline 

spindle is rotated fully anti-clockwise until 
it reaches the mechanical stop.

4.

 Remove instruction card from spindle.

The front cover can now be fi tted carefully 
ensuring the controls are aligned and 
secured with the four fi xing screws 
provided.

5.

 Following the installation of the riser rail 

(see section 12) attach the fl exible hose to 
the shower outlet positioned centrally on 
the back plate making sure that you use 
the sealing washer provided. The shower 
is now ready for commissioning.

the rail is vertically aligned and mark the 
wall. Remove the rail and bracket, then 
drill and plug the wall.

5. 

Slide the height adjuster onto the rail, 

release mechanism with push button. 

6. 

Replace the rail assembly into the top 

bracket. Refi t the bottom bracket, ensuring 
the larger rail hole is facing outwards and

Snap covers over both brackets.

8.

 Firmly attach shorter conical end of fl exible 

hose to shower handset making sure 
sealing washer is in place.

NOTE:

 The adjustable height adjuster grips 

the conical ends of the hose, not the handle of 
the shower handset.

Exercise great care when using power tools near water.  

The use of a residual current device (RCD) is recommended.

• 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.
