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.
NOTE: 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.

• Compression fittings MUST be used to
connect to the inlet of the shower (fig.7).
(Push-on fittings must NOT be used as full
engagement cannot be guaranteed).
• If installing a feed pipe from the back or
bottom, the centre of the inlet valve to the
wall surface is 21mm (fig.7).
NOTE: If entry is from the back, the nut of the
21mm compression fitting will be partially behind the
surface of the wall. This area MUST be left clear
when plastering and tiling around the pipework
in order to make the nut accessible for future
adjustments.
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.

WITHOUT THE SHOWERHEAD ATTACHED.
Make sure the outlet of the flexible hose is
directed to waste.
IMPORTANT: Failure to turn the control to
