Installation Requirements 1. Plumbing Read the section “Important Safety Information” first. 1.1 Supply pipework MUST be flushed to clear debris before connecting the appliance. 1.2 A hose retaining ring is supplied to prevent the handset from dropping below the spill-over level of the bath or shower, which could lead to contamination from back siphonage. The supplied hose retaining ring should meet the great majority of user requirements for shower installations with flexible outlet fittings.
Installation 1. Mira Discovery ev - Exposed Variable Shower Fittings Solid, dry-lined, stud partition, shower cubicle or laminated panel walls Read the section “Installation Requirements” first. The slide bar should be fixed to the wall to one side of the product and at a convenient height for all the family. It should be positioned so that it discharges down the centre line of the bath, or across the opening of a shower cubicle and should be directed away from the shower control.
1.3 For solid walls drill two 8.0 mm diameter holes at 600 mm centres and insert the wall plugs. Note! Special consideration should be given to the fixing arrangements when installing on to a dry lined, stud partition, shower cubicle or laminated panel wall structures. Installers may wish to obtain alternative proprietary cavity fixing, or choose other options, however, these methods of fixing are beyond the scope of this guide. Screw Bracket Bracket Cover 1.
2. Mira Discovery biv - Built-in Right Angle Connector (RAC) Read the section “Installation Requirements” first. The right angled connector assembly (RAC) for use with built-in shower controls, should be positioned above and offset from the top outlet of the shower control. This will prevent the flexible hose from obstructing the temperature and flow controls used to operate the shower. The pipework between the shower control and the RAC fitting is not supplied as part of the product. Outlet Pipe (15 mm) 2.
2.7 Drill the two RAC wallplate fixing holes, if necessary make a recess approximately 6 mm deep to accept the RAC wallplate. Plug the two fixing holes. Foam Seal 2.8 Fix the RAC wallplate to the wall with the two fixing screws. 2.9 Temporarily fit the two fixing screws to the RAC wallplate. This will prevent the holes from becoming blocked with plaster and grout. 2.10 Finish the surface of the wall as required ensuring the pipework is protruding by at least 20 mm.

If any maintenance is required then it must be carried out by a competent tradesperson for whom the fault diagnosis chart and maintenance instructions are provided. Before replacing any parts ensure that the underlying cause of the malfunction has been identified.
