Water Requirements
If the shower is to be installed in a hard water area, we
recommend that an in-line scale inhibitor is fitted which will
prolong the life of the shower. Please refer to your supplier for
advice.
Warning: The shower must not be installed in an
area subject to freezing conditions.
Do not use if you suspect the shower is
frozen, this will damage the shower unit.
This fitting needs to be installed in accordance with the following
Installation Requirements and Notes (IRN) to ensure they
meet the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations 1999 and the Scottish Byelaws 2014.
The fitting shall be installed so that its outlet discharges above the
spill-over level of any fixed appliance as indicted on the illustration
below.
For backflow protection in premises or installations up to, and
including Fluid Category 3 and 5.
The vertical distance of the outlet above the spill-over level
shall be not less than 20mm or twice the diameter of the inlet
pipe to the fitting, which ever is the greater. If the fitting cannot
be installed as indicated it shall be installed with a backflow
prevention arrangement suitable for the Fluid Category.

The shower must be connected to a mains water supply only with a minimum working inlet pressure of 0.07MPa (0.7bar)
at a minimum flow rate of 8 litres per minute. The maximum static inlet pressure must not exceed 1.0MPa (10bar).
A minimum working inlet pressure of 0.1MPa (1bar) at a minimum flow rate of 8 litres per minute is recommended for full
ThermoSafe™ performance.
If it is intended to operate the shower at pressures above the maximum stated, a suitable pressure reducing valve (PRV)
should be used.
Water regulations stipulate that the showerhead be ‘constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment (hose retainer) so that it
can only discharge water at a point not less than 20mm above the spill over level of the bath or shower tray or other fixed
appliance.
If a showerhead can sit within a bath, basin or shower tray, you must fit a double check valve in the supply pipe work to
prevent back siphonage. If the showerhead can sit within a WC then the air gap should be a type AUK3 not less than
20mm or twice the diameter of the inlet pipe to the fitting, whichever is the greater.

The Electrical Installation and Circuit Protection of this shower must
comply with current I.E.E Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and Building
Regulations (Part P). We recommend that this product is installed
by a qualified electrician prior to use. The following notes are for
guidance only.
Important: You must switch o the power at the consumer
unit,isolate the electrical circuit and verify the
earth before making any electrical connections.
The shower must only be connected to a 230-240V AC supply.
The electrical rating of your shower is on the pack or on the
rating plate label.
The shower must be connected to its own independent
electrical supply. It must not be connected to a ring main,
spur, power socket, or lighting circuit.
If you don’t have a spare fuse way or the rating at the main
fuse box is below 80A, you should seek advice from an
electrician and may need a new consumer unit - specifically for
the shower.
A separate and permanently connected cable must be taken from the
consumer unit directly to the shower via a 45 Amp double pole switch
with a minimum contact separation gap of 3mm in live (L) and neutral
(N) poles.
The isolating switch can be a ceiling mounted pull cord switch within
the bathroom or wall mounted in an adjacent room. The power switch
must be easily accessible and identifiable as the supply to the shower.
Note: Voltage drop in the supply to the premises, due to heavy local
demand, will aect the performance of your shower. To gain the
optimum power possible from this shower unit try to find the shortest
possible route from the consumer unit to the shower to run your cable.

Circuit Protection Cable Selection
On installation of the appliance the impedance measurement of the Neutral and Earth back to the supply source is to be less than 1.0 Ohms.
This is in line with the general installation requirements of the UK Network and will generally present no problem within the UK Network.
In domestic installations you must ensure that the electrical supply and existing fuse board are adequately rated.
Do not turn on the electrical supply until the plumbing has been completed and the shower cover re-fitted.
The current carrying capacity of the cable must be at least that of
the shower Circuit Protection Device.
Please refer to the Cable Current Carrying Capacity Table.
It is a requirement that a residual current device (RCD) formerly
known as an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) with a tripping
current of 30mA, is incorporated in the circuit. This may be part of
the existing consumer unit or a separate unit.
For closed circuit protection DO NOT use a rewireable fuse. Instead
use a suitably rated Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) or Cartridge
Fuse.
Please refer to the Circuit Protection Table.

4. Temperature Adjustment Control
Adjustable temperature control.
Temperature Control Device
The Temperature Control Device will activate when
the temperature is set too high and the water inside
the water heater gets too hot. The Temperature
Control Device will switch o the power to the
heating elements. Once the unit cools down to a safe
temperature the elements will come on again and
reheat the water within the water heater and the whole
cycle will repeat itself until the temperature is manually
reduced.
Warm-Up Mode
The lit STOP/START Button or the lights at the bottom
will flash as the water heats up. Once the light stops
flashing and stays on, the shower has reached your
selected temperature and is ready to use.
Phased Shut Down & Indication
When the shower is turned o, water will continue
to flow and the lit STOP/START Button or the lights
at the bottom will flash for a short period while the
heater cools down to approximately 30°C, before
automatically turning o. This ensures the shower is
ready for the next user and helps reduce the build-up of
limescale in the heater.
Thermostatic Technology
When the shower is started, it will wait a short time for
the shower outlet temperature to stabilise to establish
the user’s desired water temperature. The shower will
then monitor the water temperature and adjust the
heating power to compensate for rises in temperature,
resulting in safe showering temperatures.

Warning:
Before using the shower for the first time, it
should receive a final flush through and filter
clean to remove any remaining debris that may
be in the pipework or hose and to ensure the
heater unit contains water before the electrical
elements are switched on.
Turn on the water supply and
inspect for water tightness.
Turn on the mains electrical supply
to the shower.
Set the Temperature Setting to ( ).
Wait approximately 30 seconds for the water
to flow correctly.
Once the water has
flowed for a further
10 seconds, rotate the
temperature adjustment control from
the fully clockwise position to the
fully anti-clockwise position.
Repeat this procedure several times until
a continuous flow of water (with no air
bubbles) is obtained from the shower hose.
Once you are
satisfied that the system
has been flushed
through thoroughly,
press the
STOP/START
button
to stop
the flow.
Clean the
Inlet Filter
and Outlet
Hose Mesh
Filter to
remove any debris

hose and if not already
attached, attach the
hose to the outlet port
and ensure that the
outlet hose mesh filter
is fitted.
Re-fit the showerhead to
the hose, insert hose rubber
washer to seal the joint; The
showerhead is attached to the
riser rail by inserting the
conical hose end into the
movable slider.
Your shower is now ready for
first use.

Maintenance
General Cleaning
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean this unit. The shower unit and
accessories should be cleaned with a soft, clean, damp cloth.
The hardness of the water in your area will determine how often you should clean
your showerhead. Build up of scale in particularly hard water areas combined with
constant use means you may need to clean your showerhead once a week.
To ensure continued performance of your electric shower the showerhead needs
to be regularly descaled.

A pressure relief device is designed into this shower. The pressure relief device
provides protection should an excessive build up of pressure occur within the shower unit.
It is advisable to position the shower unit over a bath or shower tray in the unlikely
event the device should discharge.
Do not use the shower with a damaged or kinked shower hose or blocked handset.
This may trigger the PRD which will discharge through the vent in the bottom right
hand corner (shown).
In the event of the PRD activating, water will be discharged from the vent. If this
happens, switch o the electricity and water supplies to the shower and
contact Customer Services (see Page Footer).
