DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS PRODUCT WE HIGHLY ADVISE THE PURCHASE AND FITTING OF A WATER SOFTENER

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO HOUSE MAINS
WHEN YOUR ITEM IS ASSEMBLED ALWAYS USE THE SERVICES OF A FULLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAN COMPANY TO COMPLETE THE CONNECTION FROM

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 the need to replace anything. ALWAYS USE Flexible braided water
inlet pipes (not supplied) at least a metre long (not central heating plastic type!)
Always use a flexible waste pipe from your house supply to the shower .
NEVER FIX with rigid pipes, NEVER FIX the unit to the wall.
DURING BUILD, LIKE ALL SHOWERS CORRECT SEALING IS IMPERATIVE.

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 Con-
sumer 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 eradi-
cate 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.
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 flexible type (1m flexible waste supplied).
The water supply pipes need to be at least 1 metre in length and must be that of a flexible braided type (not supplied).
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BRAIDED HOSES AS IT CAN CAUSE THE CONNECTION TO POP AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF USE

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 tub and remove all the protective wrapping and fit the waste. 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 in-
structions 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
Place the mirrored back panel marked “left” to the side glass ensuring that the
side glass frame at its wide point is at the rear of the shower and wide black
decorative paint is at the top.
Align the back panel to lip on the side glass and once you are happy with the
alignment, run a bead of silicone up the edge and Rubbergum along the bottom
of the panels and screw together using the ST20

Now place the column in between the 2 back glass panels. Once you are happy with the align-
ment, run a bead of silicone up both edges and Rubbergum along the bottom of the panel and
screw together using ST20 screws.
(Please not if the column has a rubber seal at the bottom, take the rubber off and apply silicone
inside the rubber and replace back onto the column)
Step 2
Place the mirrored back panel marked “Right” to the side glass ensuring that the
side glass frame at its wide point is at the rear of the shower and wide black
decorative paint is at the top.
Align the back panel to lip on the side glass and once you are happy with the
alignment, run a bead of silicone up the edge and Rubbergum along the bottom
of the panels and screw together using the ST20 screws.

Ensure all grey backing film on the rear of the glass panels are pierced through the existing glass holes

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

cabin and run clear silicone around the rear side of the probe

(please note this only needs to be hand tight. Over tightening will snap/damage the
inner black tube)

Wheels
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
(not supplied)
Handles
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.
Door Seals
Magnetic Seal: Push the magnetic door seal on the handle side of the glass door
ensuring this is tightly fitted.
Rear Door Seal: Place the rear door seal on the opposite side to the magnetic strip
ensuring the flap is facing the fixed glass panel

Shower Valve
Connect the hoses to the corresponding inlets on the back of the shower.
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.
