ADVICE TO USERS
The following information will help you
understand how the handwash product
operates.
The electric heating elements operate at
a constant rate. It is the flow rate of the
water passing through the heater can which
determines the water temperature at any given
setting. The slower the flow, the hotter the water
becomes and the faster the flow, the cooler the
water.
During winter the mains water supply will be
cooler than in summer, therefore, the water
temperature of the handwash unit will vary
between seasons on any one setting of the
temperature control. To alter the temperature,
simply adjust the control knob to the desired
temperature. The stabiliser valve minimises
variations in water temperature during mains
water pressure changes. If changes in water
temperature are experienced during normal
use, it will most likely be caused by the water
pressure falling near to or below the minimum
level. The drop in pressure may be due to water
being drawn off at other points whilst the unit
is in use. If the pressure drops appreciably
below the minimum, the heating elements will
automatically cut out.
DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo
bottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seep
through the joint between the cover and back
plate and possibly damage the sealing rubber.
If water becomes too hot and you cannot
obtain cooler water, first check that the
sprayhead is not blocked. Secondly, leave the
product for 5 minutes and run the cycle again.

WATER REQUIREMENTS
The installation must be in accordance with
Water Regulations and Bylaws.
To guarantee activation of the heating elements,
the unit must be connected to a mains water
supply with a minimum running pressure of
100kPa (1.0 bar) at a minimum flow rate of four
litres/minute and a maximum static pressure of
1000kPa (10 bar).
NOTE:If the stated flow rates are not available,
it may not be possible to achieve optimum
performance from the unit throughout the year.
The water supply can be taken from a cold
water storage cistern provided there is a
minimum head of ten metres above the unit.
It must be an independent supply to the
handwash unit only.
If it is intended to operate the unit at pressures
above the maximum or below the minimum
stated, contact Triton Customer Experience for
advice.
SITING OF THE UNIT
IMPORTANT: This product MUST ONLY
be connected to cold water inlet mains pipe
work.

Pressure Relief Safety Device
A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed
into the handwash unit which complies with
European Standards. The PRD provides a level of
appliance protection should an excessive build
up of pressure occur within the unit.
DO NOT operate the handwash with a
damaged or blocked sprayhead; this can cause
the PRD to operate.
When commissioning, the sprayhead must
be removed from the swivel arm and the
temperature control must be at the minimum
flow position. Failure to follow this procedure
may also cause the PRD to operate.
Make sure the handwash is positioned over a
sink or basin, because if the PRD operates, water
will eject from the bottom of the unit. Should
this happen, turn off the electricity and water
supplies to the unit at the isolating switch and
stop valve.
Contact Triton Customer Experience for advice
on replacing the PRD.
DO NOT INSTALL IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT
WARNING
DO NOT INSTALL IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT,
doing so could false activate the product
and potentially destroy the IR sensor.

WARNING
CHECK THERE ARE NO HIDDEN CABLES
OR PIPES BEFORE DRILLING HOLES FOR
WALL PLUGS. USE GREAT CARE WHEN
USING POWER TOOLS NEAR WATER.
THE USE OF A RESIDUAL CURRENT
DEVICE (RCD) IS RECOMMENDED
WHEN USING POWER TOOLS.
FITTING THE UNIT TO THE WALL
IMPORTANT: The unit must be mounted on
a flat surface, on top of tiles which cover the
full width and length of the backplate. It is
important that the wall surface is flat otherwise
difficulty may be encountered when fitting the
cover and subsequent operation of the unit may
be impaired. DO NOT tile up to or seal around
any part of the unit using silicone sealer after
fixing to the wall. Special care must be taken
not to block or seal any PRD vents on the unit.
The control knob is an integral part of the cover
— DO NOT attempt to remove it.
Entry position for the mains water is at the
bottom. Entry for electrical supplies are at the
top, bottom or back of the unit.
If top or bottom entry position is chosen, the
cable entry not being used should have the pipe
trim inserted (fig.4).
Procedure
Position the unit on the wall and using the
backplate as a template, mark the two fixing
holes (fig.5).
Drill and plug the wall. An appropriate drill bit
should be used. If the wall is brick, plasterboard
or a soft building block, appropriate wall plugs
and screws should be fitted.
Screw the top fixing screw into position leaving
the base of the screw head protruding 6mm
out from the wall. Hook the backplate over the
top screw and fit the bottom fixing screw into
position.
DO NOT fully tighten the screws at this stage,
as the fixing holes are elongated to allow for
out of square adjustment after the plumbing
connections have been completed.
IMPORTANT: Using a suitable sealant, always
seal around the incoming pipe work to prevent
water entering the wall.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Plumbing to be carried out before wiring.
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
DO NOT use soldered fittings near the unit as
heat can transfer along the pipe work and can
damage components.
NOTE: An additional isolating valve (complying
with Water Regulations/Bylaws) MUST be fitted
in the mains water supply to the unit as an
independent means of isolating the water supply
should maintenance or servicing be necessary. If
this isolator is fitted in a loft space, the loft must
have a fixed access ladder and be boarded, with
appropriate lighting from the access point to the
isolator.
IMPORTANT: The water inlet pipe work to the
handwash MUST be flushed before the unit is
fitted. This is to remove any debris within the
inlet pipe work.
Procedure
Turn off the water supply either at the mains
stop valve or the isolating stop valve.
Make sure the filter is inserted in the pipe before
connection. This helps to prevent ingress of
debris (fig.6).
Connect the mains water supply to the inlet of
the unit via 15mm pipe using the nut and olive
supplied (fig.7).
Check the backplate is square on the wall and
then tighten the two retaining screws which
hold it to the wall.
Turn on the mains water supply and check for
leaks in the pipe work connection to the unit.
NOTE: It is normal practice to leave the water
supply permanently connected to the handwash
unit when not in use.
WARNING!
THE OUTLET OF THE UNIT ACTS AS A
VENT AND MUST NOT BE RESTRICTED.
ONLY THE SUPPLIED SWIVEL ARM
WITH THE SPRAYHEAD ASSEMBLY OR
TRIM FITTED SHOULD BE ATTACHED
TO THE UNITS OUTLET.
DO NOT CONNECT A TAP, HOSE SET, OR
ANY OTHER FITTING TO THE OUTLET.
