THIS PRODUCT BUILD IS RATED SUITABLE FOR DIY PURPOSES PROVIDING THE CUSTOMER IS OF ABOVE AVERAGE SKILL AND FEELS CONFIDENT IN
THEIR ABILITY. ONLY YOU THE CUSTOMER WILL KNOW THIS SO BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO ASSEMBLE, READ THROUGH THE FOLLOWING
PAGES IN DETAIL THEN DECIDE. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT USE THE SERVICES OF A PROFESSIONAL. IN PICKING SUCH, ALLOW THEM TO DECIDE IF
THEY ARE CAPABLE OF BUILD BY FIRST SHOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO THEM. ALWAYS GET THREE QUOTES.
REMEMBER THE BEST IS NOT ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST!

DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS PRODUCT WE HIGHLY ADVISE THE PURCHASE AND FITTING OF A WATER SOFTENER
(PLEASE NOTE LIMESCALE BUILD UP MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR SHOWER AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY)
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
SHOWER TO THE HOUSE SUPPLY. LAWS DEMAND IN MANY CASES YOU DO THIS AND YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID IN REGARDS TO THE 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 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.
If you are 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.
ATTENTION
ALWAYS FIT EASY TO GET TO ISOLATION TAPS ON BOTH THE HOT AND COLD WATER SUPPLY (NOT SUPPLIED). JUST LIKE A
DISHWASHER OR WASHING MACHINE, THIS PRODUCT MUST BE ISOLATED WHEN NOT IN USE.

TOTAL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Voltage Rating 220 -240AC
Frequency Rating 50HZ
Power Rating 2.8KW
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.
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 con-
nected 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 small hand back panel to the back column.
Once you are happy with the alignment, run a bead of silicone up
the edge and apply RubberGum along the bottom of the panels and
screw together using the ST20
(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 2
Now attach the large back panel to the column.
Once you are happy with the alignment, run a bead of silicone
up the edge and apply Rubbergum along the bottom of the pan-
el and screw together using the ST20
Step 3
Front Fixed Uprights.
PLEASE NOTE:
The uprights have small grooves cut out, please see diagram. These
are designed to go at the bottom, connecting to the tray.
Please see next page for positioning on the tray!

Step 3
The next step is to attach both front uprights to the curved rails using
the ST35 screws as shown in the picture to the left
PLEASE NOTE
The screw head needs to bypass the OUTER hole. If this does not
occur please bore out the outer hole only by about 2-4mm
Your front metal work should now look like this
Step 3 (Continued)
Please Note:
With the groove sitting on the tray, you need to
have the “U” shaped channel facing inwards to
allow the glass to be inserted correctly.

Step 5
Next attach the “U shape” rubber glass seal to the outer edge of the
curved and the straight fixed glass panels and cut any excess of if
required.
Step 4
Now attach your front metal work to the fitted back panels.
Once you are happy with the alignment, run a bead of silicone
up the edge and Rubbergum along the bottom of the panels and
frame and screw together using the ST20

Step 6
With the frame now attached to the back panels, locate and fix the glass panels into
place by pushing them as per the arrows in the adjacent image Making sure the
edge of the glass with the rubber seal fits into the grove tightly. Now screw the glass
retaining clips into place using the ST14 screws making sure the glass has a tight fit
Step 7

Step 8
Next locate the roof into position. Once you are happy with the positioning of
this, screw into place using the ST25 screws,
Step 9
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 theoutside 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.
