Warning!
The outlet of the shower acts as a

anything other than the hose and
showerhead supplied.

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 15mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe
using a 15mm x 15mm elbow or straight
coupler 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.

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.

Sprayplate removal
There is no need to remove the showerhead
from the hose.
Using the removal tool supplied (fig.23),
locate the raised bosses into the recesses in the
sprayplate. Hold in firmly and twist anti-clockwise
(fig.24). This movement may turn the cartridge
assembly as well until it reaches a stop.
Hold the cartridge firmly and continue to twist
anti-clockwise. Having loosened the sprayplate, it
can be unscrewed and removed completely.
Clean the sprayplate with a suitable brush or
preferably leave it to soak overnight in a mild
proprietary descalent. Make sure all traces of
scale are removed and thoroughly rinse in clean
water afterwards.
Before replacing the sprayplate, switch the
power back on at the isolating switch and direct
the hose and showerhead to waste.
Turn the temperature control fully anti-clockwise.
Press the Start/Stop button.
This operation will flush out any loose scale
deposits in the unit and showerhead. Stop after
about thirty seconds.
Refit the sprayplate by screwing clockwise. Use
the tool to screw the sprayplate tight.
