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 sprayhead which can cause the

PRD to operate.

When commissioning, the sprayhead

must be removed from the flexible hose.

Failure to follow this procedure may also

result in causing the PRD to operate.

Ensure 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

Fig.3

electricity and water supplies to the

shower at the isolating switch and

stopvalve. Contact Customer Service

for advice on replacing the PRD.

The PRD is situated adjacent to the

outlet pipe (Fig.4).

To gain access to it, FIRST SWITCH

OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY,

remove the cover, then unscrew using

suitable wrench or grips.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to replace

the PRD unless competent to do so.

NOTE: Before replacing the cover, it is

strongly advised to prime the unit (see

'commissioning').

SECTION

FITTING THE SHOWER TO

THE WALL

NOTE: The control knobs are an integral

part of the cover – do not attempt to

remove them.

IMPORTANT: The unit must be mounted

on a flat surface which covers the full

width and length of the backplate. It is

important that the wall surface is flat

otherwise difficulty may be encountered

when fitting the cover and subsequent

operation of the unit may be impaired.

'COLD' position and the temperature

control is at 'TEMPERATURE'.

Replace the cover squarely to the

backplate and guide into position so that

the controls locate correctly into the

spindles while at the same time, ensuring

wires are not trapped. Should any

difficulty arise, re-check the points above

Secure the cover in position with the

four retaining screws. DO NOT

OVERTIGHTEN..

Switch on the mains electric supply to the

shower at the isolating switch.

Press the 'START/STOP' button (Fig.17).

The power indicator will light and the

pump starts to operate.

It will take approximately thirty seconds

for a smooth flow of water to be obtained

whilst air and any debris is being

dispersed from the shower. When a

smooth flow of water is obtained, rotate

the temperature control from '1' to '10'

several times (Fig.18) to release any

Fig.16

trapped air within the unit.

Once flushing out has been completed,

stop the water flow by pressing the

'start/stop' button.

Because the shower is fitted with Phased

(Safety) Shutdown, the indicator light will

begin flash and water flow will be reduced

for approx 8 seconds before the shower

switches off. During this Phased (Safety)

Shutdown, power to the heating elements

is cut. This allows the unit to safely

disipate any residual heat.

Commissioning is complete. Once the

riser rail is fitted, the shower is ready for

TIPS

A piece of insulating or masking tape

applied to the wall before marking out the

fixing holes will help stop the drill from

wandering, particularly on tiled surfaces.

When working near a basin or bath, insert

the plug in the waste fitting so that small

parts cannot be lost. Take care not to drop

accessories or tools into basin or bath.
