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.
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

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.
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.

Step 1
You will have three back panels in three separate boxes. The panel with the control panel on is always the central panel. You will notice in the tray at the back there will
be a round hole, which is for the hose going from the steam generator to the waste.
Connect two of the back panels, as shown in the image. Ensure that you insert the T-Strips between the left and centre panel and run a bead of silicone in the ‘T’ on
either side (red vertical line).
Secure into position using the B28/N10/BW12 bolts, washers and hex nuts as shown in the image below at all four points.
Place on tray to align but do not RubberGum or screw together yet.

Step 1 (continued)
Take the third back panel and connect using the exact same process as the previous page.

www.insigniarange.com Last Modied 08/02/2018

Step 2
Attach the uprights to the curved rails using the ST20 screws. The screw should pass
through the outer holes, but if it doesn’t the core out the outer hole to enable the
screw to pass and connect the framework.
(Rail with Insignia logo at the top)
The uprights have the cut-out located at the top to allow the fitting of the roof, so make
sure you connect the frame with the cut-out located at the top.
Step 3 (RubberGum)
You can jump forward and do step 4 now if you wish and return here after to apply the
RubberGum.
Apply RubberGum around the tray to seal the back panels to it. Also apply around the
curve to seal the framework to the tray as well. You should have placed the three
back panels and be happy with the alignment, as well as the framework you
connected in step 2 to know exactly where the RubberGum should be applied.

Step 4
Take the front frame and meet this to the back panels and screw
together using the ST12 screws. Run a bead of silicone down the edge
where you connect the frame and back panels shown on the diagram
as red vertical lines.
If you opted to connect this framework prior to applying RubberGum
then please return to step 3 and apply RubberGum.
Once aligned onto the RubberGum, now you can go round the back of
the shower and connect the back panels to the tray. The holes are not
pre-made for this in the tray, but they are in the back panels, so you will
need your drill, DB6, B22/N6/SW9 nut, bolt and washer.

Step 5
Take the 2 front glass panels and lay them down gently. Now attach the “U”
shape rubber seal to one side of each panel and cut off any excess.
Step 5 (continued)
Now push the front fixed glass into the frames in the
direction as shown by the below arrows and then fix into place
using the PRC20 securing clips and ST12 screws

Step 6
Align the roof into position and connect using the nuts, bolts and
washers (B22/N6/SW9) connect the back panels to the roof.
NOTE: If a small gap exists silicone seal later

Step 7
it 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 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
Magnetic Seals (If not fitted)
Push the magnetic door seal on the handle side of the glass door ensuring this is
tightly fitted.
Door Seals
Place the rear door seals on the outer edge of each of the front glass panels as shown on the
image on the left hand side.
