9. Do not install the appliance in a position where it may become frozen. The shower unit must not be fitted where it may be exposed to freezing conditions. The shower unit must not be used if you suspect it may be frozen. 10. We recommend that a non-restrictive (free-flowing) isolating valve is fitted in the cold water supply pipe to allow the complete maintenance of the appliance. Do not use a valve with a loose washer plate (jumper) as this can lead to a build up of static pressure. 11. To av

Electrical 1. In a domestic installation, the rating of the electricity supply company fuse and the consumer unit must be adequate for the additional demand. This is a high- power appliance, and it is essential to contact your electricity supply company to ensure that the supply is adequate for the appliance. Voltage drop due to local heavy demand will reduce the performance of the shower. 2. The appliance must be earthed by connecting the supply-cable earth conductor to the earth terminal. Supp

6. A separate, permanently connected supply must be taken from the consumer unit to the appliance through a double-pole switch, which has a minimum 3 mm contact separation. The switch can be a ceiling mounted pull-cord type within the shower room, or a wall mounted switch in an adjacent room. 7. DO NOT twist the individual cable cores of the live and neutral conductors, as this will prevent them from entering the terminal block. 8. DO NOT exert strain on the terminal block. 9.

Installation WARNING! Isolate the electrical and water supplies before installing the shower. 1. Decide on a suitable position for the appliance (minimum distance of 200mm from the ceiling to allow for cover fit and removal). The position of the appliance and the shower fittings must provide a minimum gap of 25 mm between the spill-over level of the shower tray/bath and the handset. This is to prevent backsiphonage 2. Put the installation template on the wall and mark the positions of the top tw
