WARNING!
The shower must not be
positioned where it will be
subjected to freezing conditions.
INSTALLATION - SITING OF THE SHOWER
IMPORTANT:
The unit must be mounted on
a flat surface which covers the full width and
length of the backplate. It is important that
the wall surface is flat otherwise difficulty
may be encountered when fitting the cover
and subsequent operation of the unit may
be impaired.
IMPORTANT:
If installing onto a tiled wall,
ALWAYS
mount the unit on the surface of
the tiles.
NEVER
tile up to the unit.
SITING OF THE SHOWER
• Refer to
fig.8
for the correct siting of
the shower. Position the unit where it will
NOT
be in direct contact with water from
the showerhead. Position the shower unit
vertically.
• Allow enough room between the ceiling and
the shower to access the cover top screws.
IMPORTANT: Water regulations (fig.8)
• It is required that the showerhead be
‘
constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment
so that it can only discharge water at a point
not less than 25mm above the spill-over level
of the relevant bath, shower tray or other
fixed appliance’.
• If the riser kit is supplied with a ‘soapdish
hose retainer’ or bespoke ‘hose retainer’, it
will in most cases meet this requirement. If
the showerhead can still be placed within a
bath, basin or shower tray within the 25mm
limit, then a double check valve, or similar,
MUST be fitted in the supply pipework
to prevent back-flow
.
Pressure relief safety device
• A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed
into the shower unit which complies with
European standards. The PRD provides a level
of appliance protection should an excessive
build up of pressure occur within the shower.
DO NOT
operate the shower with a damaged or
kinked shower hose, or a blocked showerhead.
This may cause the PRD to operate.
• When commissioning, the showerhead
must be removed from the flexible hose.
Failure to follow this procedure may cause
the PRD to operate.
• Make sure the shower is positioned over a
bath or shower tray. If the PRD operates,
then water will eject from the bottom of
the unit. Should this happen, turn off the
electricity and water supplies to the shower
at the isolating switch and stopvalve.
Contact Customer Experience for advice on
replacing the PRD.
