Caution - Danger of Death 230V AC
Lethal Voltage present on the AC supply.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The installation, supply cable and circuit protection must conform to the current wiring regulations and be
sufficient for the amperage required and length of cable run. Before making electrical connections within the
installation, ensure that the electrical supply has been isolated.
The shower must be connected to its own independent electrical circuit.
DO NOT connect any other device to the power source.
Check your consumer unit (main fuse box) has a main switch rating of 80A or above and that it has a spare
fuse way which will take the miniature circuit breaker (MCB) necessary for the shower (see schematic of
installation circuit). If your consumer unit has a rating below 80A or if there is no spare fuse way, then the
installation may require a new consumer unit serving the property or just the shower. Contact the local elec-
tricity company if in any doubt.
The current carrying capacity of the cable must be at least that of the shower circuit protection.
Refer to the current wiring regulations BS 7671 to determine minimum cable size. A maximum of 10mm
2
can
be fitted to the shower. Site conditions must be assessed by a competent electrician to determine correct cable
size and permissible circuit length.
Shower circuit cable separation from other circuits must meet wiring regulations.
This appliance is only intended to be permanently connected to the live dedicated 230/240V 50Hz AC power
supply and has an independent double-pole isolation switch. Other electrical equipment must not be connected
to the same shower circuit. A 30mA residual current device (RCD) MUST be installed in all UK electric and
pumped shower circuits. This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate RCD unit.
This appliance must be earthed.
