UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES UNDERTAKE THIS YOURSELF!!!
Note for electrician. This product comes with 13 amp plug(s) fitted
with RCD unit. We leave the way you prefer to connect this to your-
self due to continued additions to current regulations. As at October
2010 we offered two following alternatives.
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 plug / RCD fitted and
ensure the Consumer unit has capabilities to replace RCD feature.
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 con-
trol being burnt out because of this reason.
Please note earth is re uired and found on chassis of shower tray. A
further earth is re uired from Steam Generator unit. Each earth
must ground through power supply line.
