GENERAL

Isolate the electrical and water supplies before 

removing the cover.
Read all of these instructions and retain them 

for later use.
DO NOT take risks with plumbing or electrical 

equipment.
Isolate electrical and water supplies before 

proceeding with the installation.
The unit must be mounted onto the finished 

wall surface (on top of the tiles). Do not tile up 

to unit after fixing to wall.
Contact Customer Service 

(see back page)

, if 

any of the following occur:
If it is intended to operate the shower at 

pressures above the maximum or below the 

minimum stated.
If the unit shows a distinct change in 

performance.
If the shower is frozen.
If it is intended to operate the shower in areas 

of hard water (above 200 ppm temporary 

hardness), a scale inhibitor may have to be 

fitted. For advice on the Triton Scale Inhibitor, 

contact Triton Customer Service.
The showerhead must be cleaned regularly 

with descalent to remove scale and debris, 

otherwise restrictions to the flow on the outlet 

of the unit will result in higher temperatures 

and could also cause the Pressure Relief Device 

in the unit to operate.
This product is not suitable for mounting into 

steam rooms or steam cubicles.

PLUMBING

The plumbing installation must comply with 

Water Regulations, Building Regulations or any 

particular regulations as specified by Local 

Water Company or Water Undertakers and 

should be in accordance with BS 6700.
The supply pipe must be flushed to clear 

debris before connecting to the shower unit.
DO NOT solder pipes or fittings within 

300 mm of the shower unit, as heat can 

transfer along the pipework and damage 

components.
DO NOT fit any form of outlet flow control as 

the outlet acts as a vent for the heater can.
DO NOT use excessive force when making 

connections to the flexible hose or 

showerhead, finger tight is sufficient.
All plumbing connections must be completed 

before making the electrical connections.

ELECTRICAL

The installation must comply with BS 7671 

‘Requirements for electrical installations’ (IEE 

wiring regulations), building regulations or any 

particular regulations as specified by the local 

Electrical Supply Company.
This appliance MUST be earthed.
In accordance with ‘The Plugs and Sockets etc. 

(Safety) Regulations 1994’, this appliance is 

intended to be permanently connected to the 

fixed wiring of the electrical mains system.
Make sure all electrical connections are tight 

to prevent overheating.
Fuses do not give personal protection against 

electric shock.

To enhance electrical safety

 a 30mA residual 

current device (RCD) should be installed in all 

UK electric and pumped shower circuits. This 

may be part of the consumer unit or a 

separate unit.
Switch off immediately at isolating switch if 

water ceases to flow during use.
Other electrical equipment i.e. extractor fans, 

pumps must not be connected to the circuits 

within the unit.

Switch off at isolating switch when not in use. 

This is a safety procedure recommended with 

all electrical appliances.

As with all electrical appliances it is 

recommended to have the shower and 

installation checked at least every two years by 

a competent electrician to ensure there is no 

deterioration due to age and usage.
