Before we start, here’s our 4 top ps which may assist you...
TIP 1—Building Your Shower
This product is suitable for a DIY build, providing you are condent in your DIY abilies. Please look through this build guide and decide
on whether you feel condent in undertaking this task. If you are not, seek the services of a professional and show them these
instrucons before hiring.
TIP 2—Hard Water
Due to the nature of this product we highly advise the purchase and ng of a water soener.
(Please note: limescale build up may cause damage to your shower and will not be covered under warranty)
TIP 3—Installaon
These showers are designed to be free standing and movable from their locaon should you have the need to replace anything.
ALWAYS USE Flexible braided water inlet pipes (not supplied) and not central heang plasc type! Get your WRAS Approved Flexible
Braided Hoses here. (www.insigniashowers.com/wras-approved-braided-hoses.html)
NEVER FIX with rigid pipes, NEVER FIX the unit to the wall or oor.
TIP 4—Sealing
When using Insignia’s RubberGum, please ensure the product does not come in contact with your silicone as this will cause the
RubberGum to fail and will not adhere as intended. Rubbergum is immediately waterproof and will gain addional strength over me.

All connecons MUST be carried out by an approved part P
electrician and a minor works cercate must be issued upon
compleon. This product is NOT designed for DIY install and
improper installaon could be fatal.
Please use correct size and type to meet electrical codes.
Leave 2 feet of slack wire at generator locaon for nish hook-
up. Connect the generator to a dedicated circuit breaker.
A. Route the supply wire through the hole marked
POWER.
B. Connect the supply wires to terminals marked L1, L2
& L3 and N. Please see Diagram for 240v Conversion
C. Connect the ground to the ground screw marked
accordingly.
Electrics
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
installaon (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, locaon 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.
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 waste hose must be of a exible type (Supplied. Note:
Not suitable for solvent type joints)
The water supply pipes must be that of a exible braided
type (not supplied).
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BRAIDED HOSES AS IT CAN
CAUSE THE CONNECTION TO POP AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF
USE.
Always t easy to get to isolaon taps on both hot and cold
water supply (not supplied). Just like a dishwasher or
washing machine, this product MUST be isolated when not
in use.

The Insignia steam generator can be hung on a wall or sit on a base. The best
mounng locaon will sasfy all or most of the following:
1) The steam line should slope to allow condensaon to drain.
Condensaon should drain into the steam room.
2) The steam line MUST have a minimum of 200mm of straight pipe
directly from the output of the steam generator prior to adding any
bends. Failure to follow this will result in the steam backing up in to the
generator and can cause failure.
3) The steam line should be less than twenty feet long. Ten feet is
preferred. Steam lines should be insulated.
4) The mounng locaon should minimize the number of bends and
elbows in the steam line.
5) The generator should be installed in a dry, well venlated area.
Suggested locaons are under a vanity, in a closet, ac, crawl space or
basement.
6) The mounng locaon should allow for a drain hook up.
7) The generator must be mounted in a minimum 7 cubic foot space.
8) The generator should not be mounted in an area subject to freezing.
9) NEVER reduce the steam line size from 3/4”
Wall Mounng:
1. Note the locaon of the mounng holes on the back of the generator. The
screws must set directly into studs or equivalent supports.
2. Carefully hang the generator on the two screws on it’s own mounng
brackets. Tighten the screws. Replace the front cover. Secure the front cover
with six screws.
Very important!
The steam generator MUST be installed to allow air circulaon on all 4 sides.
For example allow a minimum 10cm from any obstrucon and not covered
in. Please see example on page 12 how to wall mount allowing venlaon
around the unit. NEVER obstruct the fan, this is for cooling the unit and will
operate every me the steam generator is operaonal.
Floor Mounng:
1. In general the width of the unit allows it to sit on a shelf, across the ceiling
joists or on a oor. The generator must be restrained from moving. Normally
the piping will provide adequate support. If not, addional support must be
provided.
2. All oor installed generators must have provision for roune draining of
the tank.
