FINAL ASSEMBLY AND COMMISSIONING / OPERATION

OPERATION / LOOKING AFTER YOUR SHOWER

2)Switch on the electrical supply at the double pole isolating switch, the power neon on this switch should light.

3)Start the shower by pressing the ‘Cold’ power selector button. Water should start to flow from the handset within a few seconds. The water will be at full force and will run cold.

4)Now press the ‘Low’ power selector button. Allow a few seconds for the warmer temperature to reach the showerhead – this shows that the ‘Low’ power is operating correctly.

5)Now press the ‘High’ power selector button. The temperature at the shower head will rise further – this shows that the full power setting is operating correctly.

6)Turn the bottom temperature control knob clockwise for hotter water and anti-clockwise for cooler water. Allow a few seconds between selections for the temperature change to reach the showerhead. Note that selecting a hotter setting in the temperature control reduces the flow of water.

7)Press the STOP button to stop the water flow. Water should continue to flow, eventually running cool before switching off.

A small amount of water may continue to drip from the unit as water drains from the pipe-work. This should stop within a few minutes.

The commissioning procedure is now complete.

SECTION 4

Operation

‘Power indicator’:

The power indicator on the shower unit will light when the shower is switched on and water is flowing on one of the two heat settings. The indicator does not light on the cold setting.

‘Auto Reset Indicator’

The Auto Reset Indicator will illuminate if an overheat temperature is sensed during operation. Once activated the electricity supply to the elements is switched off until the unit has cooled sufficiently, where upon power to the elements will be restored.

‘Low Pressure Indicator’

The low pressure indicator will illuminate if the mains water supply pressure falls below the minimum level. The heat settings will be disabled until normal operating pressure is restored.

1)Switch on using the pull-cord or wall mounted switch.

2)To start the shower, turn the temperature dial to the desired number and press the desired power button, upon which water will start to run through the shower.

3)The shower has three positions ‘Cold’, ‘Low’ power and ‘High’ power.

‘Cold’ setting:

Adjustment of the flow control on this setting will only alter the flow of water not the temperature.

‘High’ setting:

This is the full power setting.

4)If necessary turn the bottom ‘temperature’ control knob slowly to obtain the desired showering temperature. Waiting a few seconds after each adjustment for the temperature to stabilise.

To increase the shower temperature Turn the temperature control knob clockwise, this will decrease the flow of water and increase the shower temperature.

To decrease the shower temperature Turn the temperature control knob anti-clockwise, this will increase the flow of water and decrease the shower temperature.

5)To stop the shower press the STOP button. Allow the water to run until it stops automatically

6)Switch off the electricity supply using the pull-cord or wall mounted switch.

SECTION 5

Looking after your shower

The showerhead should be cleaned periodically to remove limescale or other particles which will reduce the performance of the shower. The frequency of cleaning will vary according to the local water quality. In hard water areas cleaning will be needed more often than in soft water areas. A liquid non-abrasive bathroom
