1. SITE PREPARATION
a) Prepare an opening in the wall surface, accurate to the dimensions shown on the installation
drawing “INSFMX2”. It may be preferable to build a stud wall to house the unit as an
alternative to preparing an aperture in an existing wall.
b) To achieve greater accuracy, it is recommended that a timber lining is fitted to the aperture.
The material thickness should be allowed for in the aperture dimensions.
c) The unit is not designed to provide support above the opening. If this is required, a suitable
lintel should be provided.
d) An electrical supply should be provided with a switched fused spur - 13amp, double pole
connection point that is local to the unit (the contact separation of the fused spur switch
should be at least 3mm).
e) A suitable cable with a minimum conductor size of 1.5mm sq should be connected to the
fused spur switch ready for connection to the unit.
f) A mains cold water supply with a min pressure of 1.75bar should be provided within the wall
cavity below the aperture and terminated with a suitable isolating tap. Final connection to
the hand wash unit water inlet (15mm compression) may be made with a flexible mains
rated hose.
g) A waste outlet connection of 32mm (1¼") should be provided within the wall cavity below the
aperture.
IMPORTANT: The installer should seek further advice from the manufacturer when
considering connection to gravity fed water system.
2. APPLIANCE PREPARATION & FITTING
a) Fit the installation plates to the sides of the aperture ensuring that they are level with each
other in all planes using 8 suitable fasteners. Remove the M8 bolts & washers from the
plates (4 off).
b) Move the unit from its packaging to the aperture and then pass the mains cable into the
electrical entry point on the rear of the cabinet.
c) Carefully insert the unit fully into the wall aperture ensuring that the supply cable does not
become trapped. Using the keys provided, open the door panel and remove the plastic
installation cover by releasing the four screw fasteners. Ease the cover out of the unit on the
left side first, and pass the soap tube back into the cabinet.
3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING: This Appliance must be Earthed
a) The UNI-WASH unit is designed for a fixed wire type installation.
b) The unit should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the current
Nationally Approved Regulations (IEE).

c) Terminate the supply cable into the terminal block positions "L E N" located on the left side
of the cabinet and secure it within the cable clamp. The cable must not come into contact
with any other components or wiring within the unit.
d) Earth bonding should be carried out to comply with Nationally Approved Regulations (IEE).
Connections must be made to the following points :
* Water supply pipe.
* Sink waste outlet.
* Equipotential earth. (To cross bond multiple units together)

so as to remove any debris and air locks.
WARNING : Failure to carry this out may result in damage and failure of the unit.
b) Complete the water connection to the inlet tap on the unit. Note that the connection is a
push type connector for a 15mm size pipe.
c) For the waste connection an appropriate trap (not supplied) should be fitted to the unit's sink
waste (1¼" BSP). Final connection can then be made to the main waste pipe.
5. COMMISSIONING FOR USE
a) Replace the insulation cover (making sure to feed the soap tube through the hole) with the 4
screws & washers.
b) Open fully the mains water supply tap and the inlet water control valve on the unit.

manual.
The FMX hand wash drier is available in two model versions, the FMX-20 is push button operated

information.
Your installer will have passed to you these instructions, the installation and commissioning
instructions and 4 keys.

internal plastic insulation cover next to the electrical isolation switch. Release when soap
is discharged into the wash bowl.

* To increase the temperature turn clockwise.
* To decrease the temperature turn counter clockwise.
Make small adjustments and activate the unit to check the effect. Note that the unit is fitted with a
safety flow switch which will only operate the water heater when the flow is set above 1.2ltr/min.
