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.

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.
TOTAL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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 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.

Roof Lights (If pre-fitted bypass this step)
The roof lights come packed in with your accessories and need to be inserted on site. On
top of the roof there are 24 nuts, which simply need tightening by hand. Once this is done,
the lights simply push onto the fitting. Start on one side with the light closest to the middle as
shown below. Follow the lights around and finish back where you started so you can
compete the circuit.
Please Note: When connecting the roof LED lights to the electric box, only the male
connection is needed, leaving the female connection hidden away under the roof cover.

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
below 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.
Thermostatic Probe
Insert the chrome sleeve into the hole situated below the control panel and secure in
place with the retaining nut. Insert the rubber grommet into the sleeve and push the
probe through from the rear of the cabin ensuring the probe protrudes no more than
6mm. Place a small amount of silicone behind to fully secure in to place.
