ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO HOUSE MAINS
WHEN YOUR ITEM IS ASSEMBLED ALWAYS USE THE SERVICES OF A FULLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL COMPANY TO COMPLETE CONNECTION FROM
SHOWER TO HOUSE SUPPLY. LAWS DEMAND IN MANY CASES YOU DO THIS AND YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID REGARDS ELECTRICAL ITEMS IF THIS IS NOT
UNDERTAKEN.
YOURS AND OTHERS SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT. NEVER ATTEMPT THIS YOURSELF.
REMEMBER:
These showers are designed to be free standing and movable from their location should you have need to replace anything. ALWAYS USE Flexible braided water inlet
pipes at least a metre long (not central heating plastic type! )
from house supply to the shower and again flexible waste pipe to join to your house waste. NEVER fix with rigid pipes, never fix the unit to the wall.
DURING BUILD, LIKE ALL SHOWERS CORRECT SEALING IS IMPERATIVE.
ATTENTION
ALWAYS FIT EASY TO GET TO TAPS ON BOTH HOT AND COLD WATER SUPPLY. AS A DISHWASHER OR WASHING MACHINE, THIS
PRODUCT MUST BE ISOLATED WHEN NOT IN USE. FLEXI SUPPLY HOSES (SUPPLIED) COUPLE HERE AS ORIGIN OF SUPPLY

Your electrical contractor should understand ALL legal requirements of connection before undertaking any work or installation.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES UNDERTAKE THIS YOURSELF!!!
Note for electrician. This product comes with 13 amp plug(s) fitted with an RCD unit. We leave it this way for you to connect this your own way due to continued additions
to current regulations. As at October 2010 we offered two methods.
1) Connect within current laws and IP directives using plug and RCD provided with steam version or supply one for non steam version
2) (Preferred) Wire into isolated fused feed connecting directly to the house consumer/service box. Remove the fitted plug and ensure the Consumer unit has capabilities to
replace RCD feature if RCD is removed.
Always use protection against electrical surge. Your shower should be treated the same as a home computer. A surge protector should eradicate the possibility of either
the transformer or computer control being burnt out. Please note earth is required and found on chassis of shower tray. A further earth is required from Steam Generator
unit. Each earth must ground through power supply line.

Whilst the next steps show you how to assemble your shower we want to make sure you have a correct build to ensure you get a trouble free shower. Therefore our advice
is to follow the instructions and perform a dry run to ensure you are confident with the build and you understand fully how the unit is assembled. When we use the word
“DRY RUN” this means you do not silicone anything, just simply construct the shower, align, drill and screw everything together. Once you are happy with the build take the
unit apart and carry out the final fix.

Pressure Requirements from your house supply
We recommend a bar pressure between 2.5 and 3.4 BAR. If you have a combi boiler system no problem should be experienced. If you have a gravity feed older type
installation (hot water tank type usually less than 1 bar) you will almost certainly need a pump. We cannot advise on which type of pump is used, location or design because
all house plumbing layouts vary. This is a job for your installer/plumber. The end delivery however must fall within the scope above.
Debit Requirements
You will need the debit capabilities of at least 10 litres per minute. Again an average combi boiler will supply this but please check if you have a gravity feed system.
Important Note Do not exceed 3.4 BAR pressure under any circumstances. Warranty is void if so as damage will occur. If you have a combi supply, please use a pressure
reducing valve if required to lower the BAR pressure to the shower.
Please Remember that this product is free standing and is designed to be pulled away from the wall. The water supply and waste require flexible pipes. If you purchased the
fitting kit with this shower you will have the required fittings. The water supply pipes need to be at least 1 metre in length and must be that of a flexi braided type..
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN IT CAN CAUSE THE CONNECTION TO POP AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF USE
Please note if a shower pump is used via gravity system we recommend a separate cold feed bypassing pump direct to generator to avoid damage to the
generator.
Further to this as you would with a washing machine or dishwasher, it is highly recommended that accessible water valve taps are installed to turn off the shower when not
In use. This will avoid any possible flooding due to a burst pipe or connection failure in the future.

TO START
Make sure you have a clear space, remember when finished and in place you need access to check your build and
able to pull the shower out for servicing or should you have the need to replace anything!
Take the shower tray and remove all the protective wrapping and fit the waste. If you purchased the fitting kit it is
possible this may have already been fitted in the tray hole yet please note this is only for transportation reasons
therefore you will still need to ensure the correct sealing and alignment is carried out. In the side of the waste
supplied in the optional fitting kit you will notice a spigot not seen on an ordinary waste. In most cases this is blanked
yet should you have a steam version you need to gently drill this out as this item is for the steam generator drainage
and will be connected in the instructions later.
Now please level the tray by firstly placing the tray in its final location and then using a spirit level, adjust the tray feet
accordingly. Once you are happy with the levelling of the tray, you can pull it out to begin the main construction.
Step 1
Attach the uprights to the bottom curved rail using the ST55 screws
(Thinner rail without Insignia logo on)

Step 2
Push the “U Shape” glass seal onto each side of the glass panels prior to insertion
into the frames.
The next step is to attach both front fixed glass panels. In order to do this take the
glass panel and offer it up to the upright as shown by the arrows.
Step 3
Attach both front uprights and the top rail. In order to do this insert the front uprights
over the glass seal as push on tightly as directed by the arrows in the image. The
columns are handed and can only fit one way.
Now place your completed front frame on the front of
the shower tray as per the image on the right
IMPORTANT! When fitting the top rail ensure the wires
from the column lights are held against the back of the
grey plastic clips poking out of the top. The rail is
designed to sandwich the wires between the front of the
rail and the back of the grey clips.
Now attach the top rail (wide rail with logo) and then screw
into place using the ST55 screws
Once the top rail is in place, secure the front uprights to the
top and bottom rails (from inside the cabin)
using ST14 screws
Once you are happy with the alignment, run a bead of
silicone along the bottom of the frame

Step 4
Run a bead of silicone along the bottom of the back panels and lock the back glass
panel to the completed front frame in the position shown in the image marked “1”
Once you have met the back panel inside the front upright as per the close up image
walk the panel around to the position shown in the image marked “2”
Now repeat for the other side

Step 5
Now you have locked the two back panels in position, align the back
panels to the central column. Once you are happy with the alignment,
apply silicone to the bottom of the centre column and screw all parts to-
gether using the ST20 screws and SW9 Washers as per the image.
Note: you may have a clear seal which sandwiches
between the column and backwall, ensure this is completely flat before
screwing the panels together.
(please note, if your column has a rubber seal at the bottom, take
the rubber off and apply silicone inside the rubber and replace)

Step 6
Align the roof with your shower walls and using the ST25 screws and SW9 Washers
fix the back walls to the roof by screwing upwards from the rear of the shower.
NOTE: You will notice you have 2 holes pre-cut in the front curve of the underside of
the roof. You need to pass the wires through for the front column lights here ready to
connect later.
if a small gap exists silicone seal later
Step 7
Fit the adjustable wheels to the top and bottom of the glass doors and ensure the wheels
are at their lowest position and hang on the inner curved rails with the wheels facing the
outside of the glass.
Once all wheels are fitted and on the rails you can adjust the wheels by turning the plastic
bolt clockwise in which in turn will pull the wheels towards the track ensuring a secure a
tight fit.
Now grease the track to ensure a smooth and long lasting operation

Shelf
Fix the chrome floating shelf brackets to your glass back panel
by using the provided screws. Now attach the chrome tubed
bars to your glass shelf as illustrated in the image. Next slide
the shelf into your shelf brackets and secure by tightening the
grub screw situated on the bottom of the bracket.
Accessory Installation
Please Note
Ensure all grey backing film on the rear of the glass panels are pierced through the existing glass holes
with a knife to provide an efficient smooth fitting and location of the accessories. We recommend using
a screwdriver on the smaller holes.
Back Backrest
The back rest is secured in to position by pushing it on to
the 4 retaining knobs.

Hand Shower
Attach the chrome riser bar to the glass wall ensuring the water inlet is inserted
through the lower large hole and hand tightened from the rear side.
Now tighten the chrome shower holder ensuring that this will take the hand shower
itself without falling (please note over tightening will prevent the holder from sliding up
and down)
Thermostatic Probe
Locate the probe which is wired in to the main electric box and insert the probe into
the hole situated below the control panel roughly 6mm into the cabin. Next run clear
silicone around the rear side of the probe to keep it securely in position.
Ozone (o3)
Unscrew the chrome pepper pot end and drop the white box upside down into the
rear hole as shown in the image. Now from the inside of the shower re-attach the
chrome pepper pot end and tighten.
Monsoon Head
Attach the grey hose from your valve to the inner black tube using PTFE tape
(please note this only needs to be hand tight. Over tightening will snap/damage the
inner black tube)
Handle
Ensuring that the inner thread is protruding out from the handle far enough, place
the handle on the outside of the door and secure by tightening the inner chrome
knob to the protruding inner thread.
Steam Pod
Insert the pod from the inside of the shower and attach large white nut from the rear.

Shower Valve
Connect the corresponding hoses to the rear of the valve as shown.
Device output may differ from the image. Please refer to your outer chrome faceplate in-
side your Insignia shower as a reference point.
IF YOUR DIAL DOES NOT CORROSPOND TO THE APPROPRIATE DEVICE:
Turn on your water to the shower and note which output the water exits from then turn off
the water and swap over the relevant hose.
Alternatively remove the outer chrome knob by removing the chrome cap and loosening
the grub screw (please ensure not to unscrew fully as this will drop within the chrome
knob) this is found on the opposite side to the chrome pillar. Once you have succeeded in
loosening this you can now slide your faceplate to correspond to the device.

Silicone Seal where shown in red on the inside of the shower
TESTING FOR WATER LEAKS
LEAVING SHOWER 24 HOURS AFTER BUILD ALLOWING SEALENT TO CURE
With all connections tight, the waste and hoses checked, jets fully sealed, your shower still around 18 inches
from its designated final resting point and the silicone fully cured (hence leaving for 24 hours minimum)
Switch on the overhead shower NOT the massage jets, remember these will fire water out at you and are
not suitable for checking leaks as they would normally only operate when a person is in front of them. Just
use COLD water setting as hot will make cabin misty and condensate thus the inspection becomes very
difficult. Now on the OUTSIDE of the shower inspect each joint, factory seal, hose, clip and jet by walking
from one side and going around to the back and then to the other side finishing at the front. If you have a
small leak (normally caused through insufficient sealer or air bubble on assembly, dry the area thoroughly
and reseal on the OUTSIDE. Please remember where you see the water this may not be exactly where the
leak is as it could have run around to a low point. Never seal your inner fittings (accessories) inside unless
you feel it necessary and make sure it is thin and neat, remember you will see this for the life of the shower!
Again leave to cure and check. If all good now check shower functions i.e. jets for back massage,
foot massage, (if you have one) and finally hand shower, check your joints to these functions at the rear
again. Never use the shower until all checks have been made and the installer is 100% happy in the
knowledge no leaks are present.
All good?
Now push your shower FROM THE BASE NEVER GLASS OR FRAME into its final resting position.
Now you can shower in the knowledge that you have no leaks a job done well and long product life.
Happy showering!
