IMPORTANT:

  When  first  installed  the  unit 

will be empty. It is essential the unit should 
contain  water  before  the  elements  are 
switched  on.  It  is  vital  that  the 
commissioning  procedure  is  followed. 
Failure to carry out this operation will result 
in damage to the unit and will invalidate the 
guarantee.

The following points will help you understand 
how the shower operates:

a. 

The electric heating elements operate at a 

constant rate at your chosen power setting. It is the 
rate of the water passing through the heater can 
which determines the water temperature. The 
slower the flow, the hotter the water becomes; the 
faster the flow, the cooler the water.

b. 

During winter the mains water supply will be 

cooler than in the summer, so the flow rate will 
vary between seasons at any one temperature 
setting. At different times of the year you may 
have to adjust the position of the temperature 
control to maintain your desired temperature 
setting.

c.

  The stabiliser valve minimises variations in 

shower temperature during mains water pressure 
changes. If changes in shower temperature are 
experienced during normal use, it will most 
likely be caused by the water pressure falling 
near to or below the minimum level. The drop 
in pressure may be due to water being drawn 
off at other points in the house whilst the 
shower is in use. If pressure drops appreciably 
below the minimum, the heating elements will 
automatically cut out. 
If ever the water becomes too hot and you 
cannot obtain cooler water, first check that the 
sprayplate in the showerhead has not become 
blocked.
DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo 
bottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seep 
through the joint between the cover and 
backplate, and possibly damage the sealing 
rubber.

This book contains all the necessary fitting and 
operating instructions for your Triton electric 
shower. Please read them carefully.
The shower installation must be carried out by a 
suitably qualified person and in the sequence of 
this instruction book.
Care taken during the installation will provide a 
long, trouble-free life from your shower.
