ADVICE TO USERS
The following points will help you understand
how the shower operates:
a. The electric heating elements operate at a
constant rate at your chosen power setting.
It is the rate of the water passing through
the heater can which determines the water
temperature. (The slower the flow, the hotter
the water becomes; the faster the flow, the
cooler the water).
b. During winter the mains water supply will
be cooler than in the summer, so the flow
rate will vary between seasons at any one
temperature setting. At different times of the
year you may have to adjust the position of
the temperature control to maintain your
desired temperature setting.
c. The stabiliser valve minimises variations in
shower temperature during mains water
pressure changes. If changes in shower
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 in the
house whilst the shower is in use. If pressure
drops appreciably below the minimum, the
heating elements will automatically cut out.
If ever the water becomes too hot and you
cannot obtain cooler water, first check that
the sprayplate in the showerhead has not
become blocked.
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
backplate, and possibly damage the sealing
rubber.
IMPORTANT: When first installed the
unit will be empty. It is essential the
unit should contain water before the
elements are switched on. It is vital that
the commissioning procedure is followed.
Failure to carry out this operation will result
in damage to the unit and will invalidate the
guarantee.
Replacement parts can be ordered from Customer
Service. See ‘spare parts’ for details and part numbers.
Due to continuous improvement and updating,
specification may be altered without prior notice.

1.1 The electrical rating of the shower is
shown on the rating label (fig.3) within
the unit.
2Before making any sort of electrical
connection within the installation make
sure that no terminal is live. If in any
doubt, switch off the whole installation at
the consumer unit.
3The shower must be connected to its own
independent electrical circuit. IT MUST
NOT be connected to a ring main, spur,
socket outlet, lighting circuit or cooker
circuit.
3.1 The electrical supply must be adequate
for the loading of the unit and existing
circuits.
4Check your consumer unit (main fuse box)
has a main switch rating of 80A or above
and that it has a spare fuse way which will
take the fuse or miniature circuit breaker
(MCB) necessary for the shower (fig.4).
4.1 If your consumer unit has a rating below
80A or if there is no spare fuse way, then
the installation will not be straightforward
and may require a new consumer unit
serving the house or just the shower.
4.2 You will need to contact the local
electricity company. They will check the
supply and carry out what is necessary.
They will also check the main bonding.
5The earth continuity conductor of the
electrical installation must be effectively
connected electrically to all exposed metal
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The installation, supply cable and circuit
protection must conform with BS7671 (IEE wiring
regulations) and be sufficient for the amperage
required.
The following notes are for guidance only:
1The shower must only be connected to a
230-240V ac supply. If you are installing
a shower with a kilowatt rating above

should be placed so that it is not possible
to touch the switch body while standing
in a bath or shower cubicle. It should be
readily accessible to switch off after using
the shower.
8Where shower cubicles are located in any
rooms other than bathrooms, all socket
outlets in those rooms must be protected
by a 30mA RCD.
9The current carrying capacity of the cable
must be at least that of the shower circuit
protection (see table B).
9.1 To obtain full advantage of the power
provided by the shower, use the shortest
cable route possible from the consumer
unit to the shower.
9.2 It is also necessary to satisfy the
disconnection time and thermal
constraints which means that for any given
combination of current demand, voltage
drop and cable size, there is a maximum
permissible circuit length.
10 The shower circuit should be separated
from other circuits by at least twice the
diameter of the cable or conduit.
10.1 The current rating will be reduced if
the cabling is bunched with others,
surrounded by thermal loft or wall
insulation or placed in areas where the
ambient temperature is above 30°C. Under
these conditions, derating factors apply
and it is necessary to select a larger cable
size.
10.2 In the majority of installations, the
cable will unavoidably be placed in one
or more of the above conditions. This
being so, it is strongly recommended
to use a minimum of 10 mm cabling
throughout the shower installation.
10.3 In any event, it is essential that
individual site conditions are assessed
by a competent electrician in order to
determine the correct cable size and
permissible circuit length.
parts of other appliances and services
in the room in which the shower is to
be installed, to conform to current IEE
regulations.
5.1 All exposed metallic parts in the bathroom
must be bonded together using a cable of
at least 4 mm² cross sectional area. These
parts include metal baths, radiators, water
pipes, taps and waste fittings.
6For close circuit protection DO NOT use a
rewireable fuse. Instead use a suitably rated
MCB or cartridge fuse (see table A).
6.1 In the interest of electrical safety a 30mA
residual current device (RCD) should be
installed in all UK electric and pumped
shower circuits. This may be part of the
consumer unit or a separate unit.
7A 45 amp double pole isolating switch
with a minimum contact gap of 3 mm in
both poles must be incorporated in the
circuit.
7.1 It must have a mechanical indicator
showing when the switch is in the
OFF position, and the wiring must be
connected to the switch without the use of
a plug or socket outlet.
7.2 The switch must be accessible and clearly
identifiable, but out of reach of a person
using a fixed bath or shower, except for
the cord of a cord operated switch, and

WATER REQUIREMENTS
The installation must be in accordance with
Water Regulations/Bylaws.
To guarantee activating the heating elements,
the shower must be connected to a mains water
supply with a minimum running pressure of
100kPa (1.0 bar) at a minimum flow rate of nine
litres per minute. The maximum static pressure
must be no greater than 1 000kPa (10 bar).
Note: If the stated flow rates are not available,
it may not be possible to achieve the best
performance from the unit throughout the year.
For guidance on the running and static pressures
contact the local Water Authority or consult a
competent plumber.
During periods of high ambient temperatures it
may be necessary to select a low power setting
to achieve your preferred shower temperature.
The water supply can be taken from a cold water
storage cistern provided there is a minimum
head of ten metres above the showerhead. It
must be an independent supply to the shower
only.
If it is intended to operate the shower at
pressures above the maximum or below the
minimum stated, contact Customer Service for
advice.
Fig.5 shows a typical system layout.
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.

SITING OF THE SHOWER
IMPORTANT: For ease of servicing, the unit
must always be mounted on the surface of
tiled walls. NEVER tile up to the unit.
Refer to fig.6 for correct siting of shower.
Position the unit where it will NOT be in direct
contact with water from the showerhead.
Position the shower unit vertically.
Allow enough room between the ceiling and the
shower to access the cover top screws.
Note: Water Regulations require the showerhead
be ‘constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment
so that it can only discharge water at a point not
less than 25 mm above the spill-over level of the
relevant bath, shower tray or other fixed appliance’.
The use of the supplied retaining ring will in
most cases meet this requirement, but if the
showerhead can be placed within a bath, basin
or shower tray, then a double check valve, or
similar, must be fitted in the supply pipework to
prevent backflow.
Pressure relief safety device
A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed into
the shower unit which complies with European
standards. The PRD provides a level of appliance
protection should an excessive build up of
pressure occur within the shower.
DO NOT operate the shower with a damaged or
kinked shower hose, or a blocked showerhead
which can cause the PRD to operate.
When commissioning, the showerhead must
be removed from the flexible hose, while at the
same time 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 shower is positioned over a bath
or shower tray because if the PRD operates, then
water will eject from the bottom of the unit.
Should this happen, turn off the electricity and
water supplies to the shower at the isolating
switch and stopvalve. Contact Customer Service
for advice on replacing the PRD.

The shower must not be positioned
where it will be subjected to freezing
conditions.

FITTING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL
Note: The control knob is an integral part of the
cover — DO NOT attempt to remove it.
Unscrew the two top and one bottom retaining
screws (fig.7) and lift the cover from the
backplate. To access the pipe and cable
connections lift off the trimplate (fig.8).
Entry positions for the mains water are from the
bottom or from the rear. Cable entry is via the
top or rear.
Note: Deviations from the designated entry
points will invalidate product approvals.
If bottom surface entry is required for the mains
cold water, then the necessary opening will need
to be cut out in the trimplate (fig.9).
If surface cable entry from the top is required
then a small area will need to be cut out in the
backplate (fig.10).
If installing a feed pipe from the rear or bottom,
the centre of the inlet valve to the wall surface is
20 mm (fig.11).
Note: If entry is from the rear, the nut of the
compression fitting will be partially behind the
surface of the wall (fig.11). This area MUST be
left clear when plastering over the pipework as to
make the nut accessible for future adjustments.
IMPORTANT: Using a suitable sealant, always
seal around the incoming pipework to prevent
water entering the wall.
After choosing the site for the shower, use the
backplate as a template and mark the two fixing
holes (fig.12).
Drill and plug to suit the fixing screws supplied.
(The wall plugs provided are suitable for most brick
walls — use an appropriate masonry drill, but if
the wall is plasterboard or a soft building block, use
suitable wall plugs and a suitable drill bit).

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Plumbing to be carried out before wiring
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe
fittings for the installation.
DO NOT solder fittings near the shower unit
as heat can transfer along the pipework and
damage components.
Compression fittings MUST be used to connect
to the inlet of the shower. (Push-on fittings must
NOT be used as full engagement cannot be
guaranteed).
Note: An additional stopvalve (complying with
Water Regulations) MUST be fitted in the mains
water supply to the shower as an independent
means of isolating the water supply should
maintenance or servicing be necessary.
IMPORTANT: Before completing the
connection of the water supply to the inlet
of the shower, flush out the pipework to
remove all swarf and system debris. This can
be achieved by connecting a hose to the
pipework and turning on the mains water
supply long enough to clear the debris to
waste.
Procedure
Turn off water supply either at the mains
stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve. Connect the
mains water supply to the inlet of the shower
via 15 mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe
using a 15 mm x 15 mm elbow compression
fitting.
DO NOT use excessive force when making these
connections.
Make sure the backplate is square on the wall
and tighten the two retaining screws which hold
it to the wall.
Turn on the mains water supply and check for
leaks in the pipework connection to the shower.
Note: At this stage no water can flow through
the unit.
WARNING!
The outlet of the shower acts as a
vent and must NOT be connected to
anything other than the hose and
showerhead supplied.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE
MAINS.
Fig.13 shows a schematic wiring diagram.
The cable entry points are shown in fig.1. The
cable can be surface clipped, hidden or via
20 mm conduit.
Note: Conduit entry can only be from rear.
Route the cable into the shower unit and connect
to the terminal block (fig.14) as follows:
Earth cable to terminal marked E
Neutral cable to terminal marked N
Live cable to terminal marked L
IMPORTANT: Fully tighten the terminal
block screws and make sure that no cable
insulation is trapped under the screws. Loose
connections can result in cable overheating.
Note: The supply cable earth conductor must
be sleeved. The outer sheath of the supply cable
must be stripped back to the minimum.
The supply cable must be secured either by
routing through conduit or in trunking or by
embedding in the wall, in accordance with
current IEE regulations.
The use of connections within the unit, or other
points in the shower circuit, to supply power to
other equipment i.e. extractor fans, pumps etc.
will invalidate the guarantee.
DO NOT SWITCH ON THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY UNTIL THE COVER HAS BEEN FITTED.
Note: The elements on UK models are to 240V
specification and will give a lower kW rating if
the voltage supply is below 240V.

COMMISSIONING
IMPORTANT: The first operation of the
shower is intended to flush out any remaining
unit debris, and to make sure the heater
unit contains water before the elements are
switched on.
This operation must be carried out with the
flexible hose screwed to the outlet but WITHOUT
the showerhead attached. Make sure the outlet
from the flexible hose is directed to waste.
Before turning on the electric and mains water
supplies to the shower, check that the power
selector is in the OFF position (fig.20) and the
temperature control is rotated to position ‘10’
— the minimum flow position (fig.20).
Note: Failure to turn the control to ‘10’ may
cause the PRD to operate.
Turn on the electric and mains water supplies to
the shower.
Rotate the power selector to COLD (fig.21) and
wait until water starts to flow from the flexible
hose.
Slowly turn the temperature control fully anti-
clockwise to ‘1’ — the maximum flow position.
It will take about thirty seconds for a smooth flow
of water to be obtained while air and any debris
is being flushed from the shower.
When there is a smooth flow of water turn the
temperature control from ‘1’ to ‘10’ and back
again several times to release any trapped air
within the unit.
Once flushing out is complete, stop the water
flow by turning the power selector to , the
OFF position.
Fit the showerhead to the flexible hose and place
in the showerhead holder.
The shower is now ready for normal operation.

OPERATING THE SHOWER
To start the shower
Rotate the power selector to the red or blue
symbols and water will start to flow.
To stop the shower
Rotate the power selector to , the OFF position
and water will cease to flow.
To use the power selector
The power selector has four positions — OFF,
COLD, ECONOMY and HIGH (fig.23).
The blue symbol is for COLD water only.
Adjusting the temperature control at this setting
will only change the force of the water from
the showerhead — it will not alter the water
temperature.
The red symbol is the ECONOMY setting for
using less energy when the ambient mains water
temperature is high during warmer months. To
adjust the temperature at this setting use the
temperature control.
Note: If the stated flow rate required for the unit
cannot be met due to low water pressure, it will
be necessary to operate the unit on this setting
during the warmer months because of flow rate
limitations entering the unit.
The red symbol is the HIGH power setting
which allows the highest flow achievable for
your preferred temperature. This setting should
normally be regarded as optimum shower
performance throughout the year. To adjust the
WARNING!
Before normal operation of the
shower, it is essential that the
commissioning procedure has been
completed correctly.

If restarting immediately after
stopping, be aware that a slug of hot
water will be expelled for the first few
seconds.

temperature at this setting use the temperature
control.
To adjust the shower temperature
The water temperature is altered by increasing or
decreasing the flow rate of the water through the
shower via the temperature control (fig.23).
After obtaining your showering temperature,
the number can be left as the normal setting
and should only need altering to compensate for
seasonal changes in ambient water temperature.
Note: The preferred number on ECONOMY will
give a different temperature to the same number
position on HIGH.
To decrease the shower temperature
Turn the temperature control anti-clockwise;
this will increase the flow of water through
the shower therefore decreasing the water
temperature, and is indicated by lower numbers.
To increase the shower temperature
Turn the temperature control clockwise; this will
decrease the flow of water through the shower
therefore increasing the water temperature, and
is indicated by higher numbers.
Note: It is advisable to be certain that the
showering temperature is satisfactory by testing
with your hand before stepping under the
showerhead. There will always be a time delay of
a few seconds between selecting a flow rate and
the water reaching the stable temperature for
that flow rate.
CAUTION: It is recommended that persons
who may have difficulty understanding or
operating the shower controls should not
be left unattended while showering. Special
consideration should be given to young
children and the less able bodied.
WARNING!
After any servicing of mains water
supply, always make sure the unit is
started on COLD in order to purge any
air in the pipework.
Note: In normal use, it is in order to leave
the water supply permanently on to the
shower unit, but as with most electrical
appliances, the unit must be switched
off at the isolating switch when not
in use.
WARNING!
This appliance is not intended for use
by young children or infirm persons
unless they have been adequately
supervised by a responsible person to
ensure that they can use the appliance
safely.
Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.

OPERATING FUNCTIONS
Power on indicator (fig.23)
When the electricity supply to the shower is
switched on at the isolating switch, the neon
power indicator will light.
Low water pressure cut-out
If the water pressure falls below the minimum
required for correct operation of the shower,
power will be switched off to the heating
elements preventing any maintained temperature
rises (water will continue to flow).
Power will automatically be restored when
adequate water pressure returns.
Temperature limiter
During normal operation if an overheat
temperature is sensed power to the elements
will be reduced, although water will continue
to flow. When the temperature has cooled
sufficiently, power to the elements will be
automatically restored to the settings at the time
of interruption.
Safety cut-out
The unit is fitted with a non-resettable thermal
cut-out safety device. In the event of abnormal
operation which could cause unsafe temperatures
within the unit, the device will disconnect the
heating elements. It will require a visit from a
qualified engineer to determine the nature of the
fault and replace the safety device, once the unit
has been repaired.

CLEANING THE INLET FILTER
It is recommended that the filter is periodically
cleaned in order to maintain the performance of
the shower. It is essential that this operation is
carried out by an installer or service engineer.
IMPORTANT: Before servicing, switch off both
the electricity supply and water supply at the
mains.
The inlet filter is situated at the bottom of the
inlet pipe (fig.24).
To gain access to the filter, remove the trimplate
and then unscrew the retaining nut from the
bottom of the inlet pipe.
When cleaning the wire mesh filter, DO NOT
use a sharp object, as it will cause damage. It is
preferable to use an old toothbrush or similar.
