ADVICE TO USERS

The following points will help you understandhow the shower operates:

A The electric heating elements operate at aconstant rate at your chosen power setting. It isthe flow rate of the water passing through theheater unit which determines the showertemperature at any given setting. (The slower theflow the hotter the water becomes, and the fasterthe flow the cooler the water).

B During Winter, mains water supply will becooler than in Summer. Therefore thetemperature of the shower will vary betweenseasons on any one setting of the temperaturecontrol, e.g. if you have chosen setting number 6as your preferred shower temperature in theSummer, you will have to increase that numberduring Winter by adjusting the temperaturecontrol clockwise (which in effect slows the waterflow).

C The stabiliser valve minimises variations inshower temperature during mains water pressurechanges. If changes in shower temperature areexperienced during normal use, it will most likelybe caused by the water pressure falling near to orbelow the minimum level. The drop in pressuremay be due to water being drawn off at otherpoints in the house whilst the shower is in use. Ifpressure drops appreciably below the minimum,the heating elements will automatically cut out.

If ever the water becomes too hot and youcannot obtain cooler water, first check thatthe sprayplate in the sprayhead has notbecome blocked.

DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoobottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seepthrough the joint between the cover andbackplate, and possibly damage the sealingrubber.

Replacement parts can be ordered from CustomerService. See ‘spare parts’ for details and partnumbers.

Due to continuous improvement and updating,specification may be altered without prior notice.

2 Before making any sort of electricalconnection within the installation, ensure that noterminal is live. If in any doubt, switch off thewhole installation at the consumer unit.

3 The shower must be connected to its ownindependent electrical circuit. IT MUST NOT beconnected to a ring main, spur, socket outlet,lighting circuit or cooker circuit.

3.1 The electrical supply must be adequate forthe loading of the unit and existing circuits.

4 Check your consumer unit (main fuse box)has a main switch rating of 80A or above and thatit has a spare fuse way which will take the fuse ormcb necessary for the shower (fig.3).

4.1 If your consumer unit has a rating below80A or if there is no spare fuse way, then theinstallation will not be straight forward and mayrequire a new consumer unit serving the house orjust the shower.

4.2 You will need to contact the local electricitycompany. They will check the circuit and carry outwhat is necessary. They will also check the mainbonding.

5 The earth continuity conductor of theelectrical installation must be effectivelyconnected electrically to all exposed metal parts ofother appliances and services in the room inwhich the shower is to be installed, to conform tocurrent IEE regulations.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

5.1 All exposed metallic parts in the bathroommust be bonded together using a cable of at least4mm2 cross sectional area. These parts includemetal baths, radiators, water pipes, taps andwaste fittings.

6 For close circuit protection DO NOT use arewireable fuse. Instead use a suitably ratedminiature circuit breaker (MCB) or cartridge fuse(see table A).

6.1 In the interest of electrical safety a 30mAresidual current device (RCD) should be installedin all UK electric and pumped shower circuits. Thismay be part of the consumer unit or a separateunit.

7 A 45 amp double pole isolating switch witha minimum contact gap of 3mm in both polesmust be incorporated in the circuit.

7 A 45 amp double pole isolating switch witha minimum contact gap of 3mm in both polesmust be incorporated in the circuit.

7.1 It must have a mechanical indicatorshowing when the switch is in the OFF position,and the wiring must be connected to the switchwithout the use of a plug or socket outlet.

7.2 The switch must be accessible and clearlyidentifiable, but out of reach of a person using afixed bath or shower, except for the cord of acord operated switch, and should be placed sothat it is not possible to touch the switch bodywhile standing in a bath or shower cubicle. Itshould be readily accessible to switch off afterusing the shower.

8 Where shower cubicles are located in anyrooms other than bathrooms, all socket outlets inthose rooms must be protected by a 30mA RCD.

9 The current carrying capacity of the cablemust be at least that of the shower circuitprotection (see table B).

9.1 To obtain full advantage of the powerprovided by the shower, use the shortest cableroute possible from the consumer unit to theshower.

9.2 It is also necessary to satisfy thedisconnection time and thermal constraints whichmean that for any given combination of currentdemand, voltage drop and cable size, there is amaximum permissible circuit length.

10 The shower circuit should be separated fromother circuits by at least twice the diameter of thecable or conduit.

10.1 The current rating will be reduced if thecabling is bunched with others, surrounded bythermal loft or wall insulation or placed in areaswhere the ambient temperature is above 30°C.Under these conditions, de-rating factors applyand it is necessary to select a larger cable size.

10.2 In the majority of installations, the cablewill unavoidably be placed in one or more ofthe above conditions. This being so, it isstrongly recommended to use a minimum of10mm cabling throughout the showerinstallation.

10.3 In any event, it is essential that individualsite conditions are assessed by a competentelectrician in order to determine correct cable sizeand permissible circuit length.

WATER REQUIREMENTS

The installation must be in accordance with WaterRegulations/Byelaws.

To ensure activation of the heating elements, theshower must be connected to a mains watersupply with a minimum running pressure of100 kPa (1.0 bar) at a minimum flow rate of eightlitres per minute (nine litres per minute for the9,5kW rated model) and a maximum staticpressure of 1,000 kPa (10 bar).

NOTE: If the stated flow rates are not available, itmay not be possible to achieve optimumperformance from the unit throughout the year.

During periods of high ambient temperatures itmay be necessary to select a low power setting toachieve your preferred shower temperature.

The water supply can be taken from a cold waterstorage cistern provided there is a minimum headof ten metres above the sprayhead. It must be anindependent supply to the shower only.

If it is intended to operate the shower at pressuresabove the maximum or below the minimumstated, contact Customer Service for advice.

Fig.4 shows a typical system layout.

Do not use jointing compounds on any pipefittings for the installation.

SITING OF THE SHOWER

WARNING: The shower must not bepositioned where it will be subjected tofreezing conditions.

FOR EASE OF SERVICING, THE UNIT MUSTALWAYS BE MOUNTED ON THE SURFACE OFTILED WALLS. NEVER TILE UP TO THE UNIT.

Refer to figure 5 for correct siting of shower.Position the unit where it will NOT be in directcontact with water from the sprayhead. Positionthe shower unit vertically.

Allow sufficient room between the ceiling and theshower to access the cover top screws.

NOTE: Water Regulations requires the sprayheadbe ‘constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment sothat it can only discharge water at a point not lessthan 25mm above the spill-over level of therelevant bath, shower tray or other fixedappliance’. The use of the supplied soap dish will

in most cases meet this requirement, but if thesprayhead can be placed within a bath, basin orshower tray, then a double check valve, or similar,must be fitted in the supply pipework to preventback-flow.

Pressure relief safety deviceA pressure relief device (PRD) is designed into theshower unit which complies with Europeanstandards. The PRD provides a level of applianceprotection should an excessive build up ofpressure occur within the shower.DO NOT operate the shower with a damaged orkinked shower hose, or a blocked sprayheadwhich can cause the PRD to operate.

When commissioning, the sprayhead must beremoved from the flexible hose, while at the sametime the temperature control must be at theminimum flow position. Failure to follow thisprocedure may also cause the PRD to operate.

Ensure the shower is positioned over a bath orshower tray because if the PRD operates, thenwater will eject from the bottom of the unit.Should this happen, turn off the electricity andwater supplies to the shower at the isolatingswitch and stopvalve. Contact Customer Servicefor advice on replacing the PRD.

FITTING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL

NOTE: The control knobs are an integral part ofthe cover – do not attempt to remove them.

Important: The unit must be mounted on a flatsurface which covers the full width and length ofthe backplate. It is important that the wall surfaceis flat otherwise difficulty may be encounteredwhen fitting the cover and subsequent operationof the unit may be impaired.

Unscrew the two top and one bottom retainingscrews (fig.6) and lift the cover from thebackplate.

Entry positions for the mains water and electriccable are from the top, bottom, either side orfrom the back. NOTE: Deviations from thedesignated entry points will invalidate productapprovals.

If a bottom entry has been chosen, fit theappropriate cut-out in the top of the backplate(fig.7).If a top entry has been chosen, fit the appropriatecut-out in the bottom of the cover (fig.8).If a side entry is required, the cover will have to becut out. Carefully remove the appropriate area byusing a knife or junior hacksaw (fig.9).

If installing a feed pipe from the back or bottom,the centre of the inlet valve to the wall surface is20mm (fig.10).

NOTE: If entry is from the back, the nut of thecompression fitting will be partially behind thesurface of the wall (fig.10). This area MUST beleft clear when plastering over the pipework inorder to make the nut accessible for futureadjustments.

After choosing the site for the shower, use thebackplate as a template and mark the two fixingholes (fig.11). Drill and plug to suit the fixingscrews supplied.

(The wallplugs provided are suitable for most brickwalls – use an appropriate masonry drill, but if thewall is plasterboard or a soft building block, youmust use special wallplugs and an appropriate drillobtainable from most hardware stores).

Screw the bottom fixing screw into positionleaving the base of the screw head protruding6mm (0.25in) out from the wall.

Hook the backplate over the bottom screw and fitthe top fixing screw into position.Do not fully tighten the screws at this stage, asthe fixing holes are elongated to allow for out ofsquare adjustment after the plumbingconnections have been completed.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONSPlumbing to precede wiring.

WARNING: The outlet of the shower acts as avent and must not be connected to anythingother than the hose and sprayhead supplied.

DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipefittings for the installation.DO NOT use soldered fittings within the vicinity ofthe shower unit.

Compression fittings MUST be used to connect tothe inlet of the shower.

NOTE: An additional stopvalve (complying withWater Regulations) MUST be fitted in the mainswater supply to the shower as an independentmeans of isolating the water in order to carry outmaintenance or servicing.

Important: Before completing the connection ofthe water supply to the inlet of the shower, and incompliance with Water Regulations, flush out thepipework to remove all swarf and system debris.This can be achieved by connecting a hose to thepipework and turning on the mains water supplylong enough to clear the debris to waste.

Procedure: Turn off the water supply either at themains stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve.Connect the mains water supply to the inlet ofthe shower via 15mm copper, stainless steel orplastic pipe using a 15mm x 15mm compressionfitting. NOTE: The inlet fitting is designed to entera compression fitting only. DO NOT use push fitconnectors as full engagement cannot beguaranteed. DO NOT use excessive force whenmaking these connections.

Ensure the backplate is square on the wall andtighten the two retaining screws which hold it tothe wall.

Turn on the mains water supply and check forleaks in the pipework connection to the shower.

NOTE: At this stage no water can flow throughthe unit.

REPLACING THE COVER

The power selector spindle must be aligned asshown (fig.14).

To ensure that the temperature control is correctlypositioned on the stabilising valve, temporarilyplace the cover in position so that the splinesengage and rotate the temperature control fullyanti-clockwise.

Remove the cover and position the temperaturecontrol knob so that it points towards the No.1position (fig.15).

Position the power selector to the 'STOP' position(fig.16).

Replace the cover squarely to the backplate andguide into position so that the knobs locatecorrectly into the splined spindles. Should anydifficulty arise, re-check the points above.

Secure the cover in position with the threeretaining screws.

FITTING THE RISER RAIL

Decide the position for the rail on the wall withinthe shower area. Proceed as follows:

A Offer one of the two brackets to the wall forthe lower position only. Note there are three holesin the brackets but two screws will usually besufficient. However, the centre hole must be usedso mark this and either of the other two. Drill andplug the wall. (The wallplugs provided are suitablefor most brick walls – use an appropriate masonrydrill, but if the wall is plasterboard or a softbuilding block, you must use special wallplugs andan appropriate drill obtainable from mosthardware stores).

Replace the bracket to the wall and secure to thewall with the screws supplied (fig.17). Locate therail onto this lower bracket ensuring the railengages fully on the bracket. Ensure the indent inthe riser rail engages into the cut-out on thebracket end (fig.18).

B Locate the second bracket on top of the rail.Again mark the centre hole plus one of the othertwo holes. Ensure the rail is vertical. Remove thebracket and rail. Drill and plug the wall.

C With the saddle, spacer and lever parts to hand,screw the saddle two or three turns into the lever(fig.19). Place the saddle and lever into theslider/holder assembly (fig.20) so that the holesalign, then slide onto the rail (fig.21). Tighten tothe rail by turning the lever. When tight, the levershould be facing forwards and not pointing to thewall. If not, slacken off and remove from the rail.Rotate the saddle and lever 180° within theslider/holder assembly then replace onto the railand tighten.Ensure the tapered thin end of thespray head holder is in the uppermost position.

D Place the rail onto the installed lower bracket.Replace the upper bracket onto the rail andsecure the bracket to the wall with the screwssupplied (fig.22).

E Place a trim cover onto each bracket ensuring

WARNING: Check there are no hidden cablesor pipes before drilling holes for wall plugs.Use great care when using power tools nearwater. The use of a residual current device(RCD) is recommended.

the large protrusion at the narrow end of the trimcover, engages into the slot between the rail andbracket (fig.23) before pushing and clicking theother end into place (fig.24).

F Snap the soap dish onto the rail (fig.25) belowthe holder assembly. Prise open the soap dishcollar and fit onto the rail (fig.26) below the dish.Note the collar is slightly tapered and should befitted ‘thinner section’ uppermost. Ensure itlocates firmly in the soap dish (fig.27) so that itholds the dish at the required height on the rail.

FITTING THE HOSE AND SPRAYHEAD

Feed the flexible hose through the appropriatesoap dish aperture (fig.28) in order that the dishacts as a retaining ring (Water Regulations).

Screw the flexible hose to the shower outlet andsprayhead (fig.29) ensuring the supplied washersare in place at both ends of the flexible hose.

Place the sprayhead into the holder (fig.30) andcheck that it fits correctly. NOTE: The holder isslightly tapered and the sprayhead and hose willonly fit from one direction. Important: It is theconical end of the hose which grips into theholder. The sprayhead will not fit in the holderwithout the hose attached. However at this stage,disconnect the sprayhead and lay aside until theshower unit has been commissioned.

TIGHTENING THE SPRAYHEAD HOLDER

In the unlikely event of the sprayhead droppingdown in use because the holder is loose, this canbe remedied by re-tightening the screw inside theholder unit. To gain access to this screw, one ofthe wall mounting brackets must be removed –the top one is preferable as the rail can be left inposition on the lower bracket.

First remove the sprayhead and hose from theholder. Insert a small screw driver into the slot onthe trim cover (fig.31), and carefully prise off thecover.

Unscrew the fixing screws holding the bracket andremove it from the wall and rail.

Holding the rail, unlock the lever and slide off thelever and holder assembly. Remove the lever andsaddle from the slider/holder assembly. The screwinside the slider/holder is now accessible.

With an appropriate screw driver, tighten thescrew (fig.32). Re-assemble in the reverse order.

COMMISSIONING

The first operation of the shower is intended toflush out any remaining unit debris, and to ensurethe heater unit contains water before theelements are switched on. This operation must becarried out with the flexible hose screwed to theoutlet but without the sprayhead attached. Ensurethe outlet of the flexible hose is directed to waste.

Before turning on the electric and mains watersupplies to the shower, ensure that the powerselector is at the 'STOP' position (fig.33) and thetemperature control is rotated fully clockwise to‘10’, the minimum flow position (fig.34).NOTE: Failure to turn the control to ‘10’ maycause the PRD to operate.

Turn on the mains water supply to the shower atthe isolating stop valve and then switch on theelectric supply to the shower at the isolatingswitch. The power indicator will light.

Switch the power selector to the ‘COLD’ position(fig.35) and wait until water starts to flow fromthe flexible hose.

Slowly rotate the temperature control fully anti-clockwise to ‘1’, the maximum flow position(fig.36).

It will take approximately thirty seconds for asmooth flow of water to be obtained whilst airand any debris is being dispersed from theshower.

When a smooth flow of water is obtained, rotatethe temperature control from ‘1’ to ‘10’ severaltimes to release any trapped air within the unit.

Once flushing out has been completed, stop thewater flow by turning the power selector to the‘STOP’ position.

Fit the sprayhead to the flexible hose and place inthe sprayhead holder.

The shower is now ready for normal operation.

Ensure the commissioning procedure has beencarried out.

To start the showerTurning the power selector to the red or bluesymbol positions will commence water to flow.

To stop the showerSwitch the power selector to the ‘STOP’ positionand water will cease to flow.

WARNING: If re-starting immediately afterstopping, be aware that a slug of hot waterwill be expelled for the first few seconds.

To use the power selectorThe power selector has four positions (stop, cold,economy and high) as shown in fig.37.

STOP is to switch off the electric and water supplyat the shower – no flow or power used.

Blue symbol is cold water only. Adjustment of thetemperature control at this setting will only alterthe force of the water from the sprayhead. ITWILL NOT ALTER THE WATER TEMPERATURE.

Single red symbol is an economy setting for usingless power during warmer months. Temperatureadjustment at this setting is via the temperaturecontrol. Note: If the stated flow rate required forthe unit cannot be met due to low waterpressure, it will be necessary to operate the uniton this setting during the warmer monthsbecause of flow rate limitations entering the unit.

Double red symbol is a high setting which allowsthe highest flow achievable for your preferredtemperature. This setting should normally beregarded as optimum shower performancethroughout the year. Temperature adjustment atthis setting is via the temperature control.

To adjust the shower temperatureThe water temperature is altered by increasing ordecreasing the flow rate of the water through theshower via the temperature control (fig.37).

After obtaining your preferred showertemperature, the number can be rememberedand left as the normal setting and should onlyneed to be altered to compensate for seasonalchanges in ambient water temperature.NOTE: The preferred number on ‘economy’ willgive a different temperature to the same numberposition on ‘high’.

NOTE: IN NORMAL USE, IT IS IN ORDER TOLEAVE THE WATER SUPPLY PERMANENTLYON TO THE SHOWER UNIT, BUT AS WITHMOST ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, THE UNITMUST BE SWITCHED OFF AT THEISOLATING SWITCH WHEN NOT IN USE.

NOTE: It is advisable to be certain that theshowering temperature is satisfactory by testingwith your hand before stepping under thesprayhead. There will always be a time delay often to fifteen seconds between selecting a flowrate and the water reaching the stabletemperature for that flow rate.

WARNING: After any servicing of the mainswater supply, always ensure the unit is started onCOLD in order to purge any air in the pipework.

Caution: It is recommended that persons whomay have difficulty understanding or operatingthe shower controls should not be left unattendedwhilst showering. Special consideration should begiven to young children and the less able bodied.

OPERATING FUNCTIONS

Power on indicator (fig.38)When the electricity supply to the shower isswitched on at the isolating switch, the ‘power’indicator will light.

Low water pressure cut-outIf the water pressure falls below the minimumrequired for correct operation of the shower,power will be switched off to the heatingelements preventing any maintained temperaturerises (water will continue to flow).

Power will automatically be restored whenadequate water pressure returns.

Temperature limiterDuring normal operation if an overheattemperature is sensed, power to the elements willbe reduced. Water will continue to flow. Whenthe temperature has cooled sufficiently, power tothe elements will be automatically restored to theprevious setting at the time of interruption.

Safety cut-outThe unit is fitted with a thermal cut-out safety

device. In the event of abnormal operation whichcould cause unsafe temperatures within the unit,the device will disconnect the heating elements. Itwill require a visit from a qualified engineer todetermine the nature of the fault and replace thesafety cut-out device, once the unit has beenrepaired.

ADJUSTING THE SPRAYHEAD

Four sprayhead patterns are available (fig.39).Adjustment is by turning the bezel on thesprayhead in either direction until the desiredpattern is obtained.

CLEANING

Do not use abrasive or solvent cleaningfluids. The shower unit, riser rail, hose,etc. should be cleaned using a soft clothand warm water.

It is advised before cleaning, to turn the isolationswitch off, thus avoiding the shower beingaccidentally switched on.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SPRAYHEADCLEAN TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE OF THESHOWER. The hardness of the water willdetermine the frequency of cleaning. For example,if the shower is used every day in a very hardwater area, it may be necessary to clean thesprayhead on a weekly basis.

Sprayplate removal

There is no need to remove the sprayhead fromthe hose.

Using the removal tool supplied (fig.40), locatethe three raised ’bosses’ into the three recesses inthe sprayplate. Hold in firmly and twist anti-clockwise (fig.41). This movement may turn thecartridge assembly as well until it reaches a ‘stop’.

Hold the cartridge firmly and continue to twistanti-clockwise. Having loosened the sprayplatesufficiently, it can be unscrewed and removedcompletely (fig.42).

Clean the sprayplate with a suitable brush orpreferably leave it to soak overnight in a mildproprietary descalent. Ensure all traces of scale areremoved and thoroughly rinse in clean waterafterwards.

Before replacing the sprayplate, switch the powerback on at the isolating switch and direct the hoseand sprayhead to waste.

Turn the temperature control fully anti-clockwise.

Start the shower by turning the power selector tothe COLD position.

This operation will flush out any loose scaledeposits in the unit and sprayhead. Stop afterapproximately thirty seconds.

Refit the sprayplate by screwing clockwise. Usethe tool to screw the sprayplate tight.

WARNING

Do not use ‘powerful’ abrasive or solventcleaning fluids when cleaning the shower asthey may damage the plastic fittings

CLEANING THE FILTER

The inlet filter is situated inside the solenoid inlet(fig.43).

To gain access to the filter will require the coverto be removed and disconnection and removal ofthe compression fitting. Also, depending on theincoming pipework arrangements, if there is notenough slack in the pipework, it could mean theremoval of the unit from the wall.

When cleaning the filter, do not use a sharpobject, as it will cause damage. It is preferable touse an old toothbrush or similar.
