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

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 3 amp plug. 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 no-
tice 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.
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.

Step 1
Align the 2 back panels with the central column and fix together using the
ST20 nuts and bolts.
Once you are happy with the alignment, remove the panels and run a bead
of silicone up the sides and Rubbergum along the bottom of the column
and the back panels yet DO NOT fix them to the tray until STEP 5.
(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
The next step is to attach the uprights (maybe pre-fitted to the front fixed glass see
above) to the curved rails using the ST25 (3.5) screws. The end with the groove is
designed to sit on the tray, with the flat end connecting to the roof. Please note the ‘U’
shaped channel is meant to face inwards to allow the glass to fit correctly.
(wider rail with Insignia logo at the top)
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
IMPORTANT
If your front fixed glass has 2 black uprights pre-fitted please bypass steps 3 and 4
Please note the wide upright is the outer upright and the cut out sits on the tray side.

Step 3
The inner uprights have a ‘T’ shaped slot in which you have a
seal, perfectly shaped to slot in here. Insert the seal on both
uprights.
Step 3 (continued)
Now attach your inner uprights to your front fixed glass panels by inserting these over
the thin rubber seals as shown by the arrows in the image.
(please note that the front uprights will need a pilot hole drilled before screwing)

15
Step 4
One the fixed glass and uprights are in place you will have 4 push style seals to
insert.
ALL seals go on the outside of the shower.
The two thicker seals will go between the fixed glass and the inside uprights.
The two thinner seals will go between the outside uprights and the fixed glass.

Step 5
Now attach your inner uprights to your front fixed glass panels by inserting these over
the thin rubber seals as shown by the arrows in the image.
Next screw the inner uprights to your curved rails using the ST16 screws for the top
and ST25 screws for the bottom. There are two screws on each side.
(please note that the front uprights will need a pilot hole drilled before screwing)
Step 6
Now meet the front of the shower with the back panels and screw together using the
ST14 and SW9 washers screws. You will need to align the panels and then use the drill
piece to create pilot holes for the screws, then continue to run a bead of silicone along
the inside of the front fixed glass

Step 7
Align the roof with your shower walls and using the ST14 screws and SW9 washers
fix the back walls to the roof by screwing upwards from the rear of the shower and
repeat this process to fix to the tray as indicated in the images

Top Boom
Step 8
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 bottom.
Once all wheels are fitted and on the rails, the wheels are adjusted by the metal screw located on the underside of the TOP door wheels, which will pull the wheels towards
the track ensuring a secure tight fit.
Now grease the track to ensure a smooth and long lasting operation (not supplied)

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 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.
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 itself without falling (please
note over tightening will prevent the
holder from sliding up and down)

Monsoon Head
Attach the grey hosing from your valve to the 90 degree push fit elbow. Secure in place using the jubilee clips found on the grey hosing. You should have one for each end
of the hose. Attach the grey hose from your valve to the inner black tube using PTFE tape (please note this only needs to be hand tight. Over tightening will snap/damage
the inner black tube)
Handle
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.
