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.

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.
1) Connect within current laws and IP directives.
2) (Preferred) Wire into isolated fused feed connecting directly to the house consumer/service box.
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 control panel being burnt out.

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)

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:

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. Please note the push button wheels are for the bot-
tom.
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

Roof Lights
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.

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 CORRESPOND 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.
