5. Re-Fit the front cover (see Diagram 5),
a. Ensure outer knob “A” is aligned fully anti-clockwise to the “
(stop)” position.
b. Ensure inner knob “B” is aligned fully to the “
(medium)” position.
c. In the main body of the shower, turn the “Drive Spider” fully anti-clockwise until it stops.
d. In the main body of the shower, turn the “Drive Gite” until it is at “3 o’clock”.
e. Fit the front cover of the shower to the main body ensuring that the 3 x “Drive Spider Legs” engage
with the slots in outer knob “A”.
f. Check that inner knob “A” has been correctly aligned by ensuring that the knob can turn approximately
3/4 of a turn (270°).
g. Check that outer knob “B” has been correctly aligned by ensuring that all 3 power settings can be
selected, and the knob “B” returns to the “
(stop)” position.
h. Secure by replacing the top and bottom fastening screws.
6. Fit the shower hose, and operate the shower first without the handset to flush out particles,
fit the handset and then operate the shower as on page 7 or 12 and check:
a. That the water gets to a satisfactory temperature.
b. Water flow can be adjusted by inner control knob “B”.
c. Power selection operates in all 3 positions, giving a change in water temperature and that the neon
light functions correctly.
d. Check again for leaks
e. That the holes in the shower handset are not blocked
7. DEMONSTRATE OPERATION TO USER
It is recommended that the shower unit and hose etc. be cleaned using a soft cloth and that the use of
abrasive or solvent based cleaning fluid be avoided, especially on any plated finishes.
We recommend that before any cleaning, the isolating switch be turned off, thus avoiding accidentally
switching on the shower.
WARNING: YOU MUST REGULARLY INSPECT THE SHOWER HOSE FOR WEAR AND DAMAGE.
REPLACE IF NECESSARY, OR EVERY TWO YEARS, WITH OUR APPROVED PART.
WARNING: IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SHOWER,
YOU MUST DESCALE THE SHOWER HANDSET REGULARLY
All water contains particles of lime-scale, which build up in the shower handset and
unit reducing the performance.
It is therefore important to clean the shower handset by simply rubbing the rubber
nozzles, or soaking in a proprietary lime-scale remover and rinsing thoroughly before use.
NOTE: After use it is normal for some water to drip from the shower handset for a
few moments. This inhibits scale build-up over prolonged use.

IF WATER IS
T
OO COLD
Turn inner knob “B” clockwise in the
direction of the “red arrows” to “1 o’clock”
and continue turning clockwise until you get
the water temperature of your liking.
Wait 20 seconds after each adjustment for
the water temperature to stabilise.
If after turning fully clockwise water is still too
cold, set shower pattern on shower handset
to outer or inner pattern only.
IF WATER IS TOO HO

Turn inner knob “B” anti-clockwise in the
direction of the “blue arrows” to “11 o’clock”
and continue turning anti-clockwise until you

Wait 20 seconds after each adjustment for
the water temperature to stabilise.
If after turning fully anti-clockwise, water is still
too hot, adjust outer knob “A” to “

setting and re-adjust as above.
Water flow will be reduced on this settin

1. Ensure the electricity and water are turned on to the unit.
2. Your shower has 3 power settings selected by turning outer
knob “A” (see Diagram 6).
The most popular is “
(high)”.
There are also options for a “
(medium)”
or “
(cold)” shower (see notes 8 and 9).
For this example turn outer knob “A” to “
(high) ”
and set inner knob “B” to “12 o’clock”.
3. The water will flow and the neon light will glow brightly.
4. Allow about 20 seconds for the temperature of the water
to stabilise.
It is recommended that you do not wholly enter the
water spray during this period, especially if the shower has just been used.
5. Once a temperature setting to your liking has been achieved, inner knob “B” will rarely need
adjusting. You must however take into account required adjustments for variations of incoming
mains water temperature between summer and winter (see “Effect of Seasonal Incoming Water
Temperature Changes” page 10).
6. When you have finished showering, turn outer knob “A” anti-clockwise to the “ (stop)” position.
Water will continue to flow for approximately 7 seconds before switching off.
This reduces the temperature of the water in the tank for the next user.
Wait for the water to stop, and then switch off the electricity at the ceiling switch or local isolator.
7. The “ (medium)” setting of outer knob “A” reduces the power used by the shower giving a cooler
shower or the option of reduced water flow.
This option is mainly for summer usage and if this is used then inner knob “B” must be re-adjusted.
8. The “ (cold)” setting of outer knob “A” will supply water without any heating, and the neon light
will go out.
9. Your shower is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water pressure fluctuations
(see “Effect of Other Water Devices on Incoming Water Supply” page 10).
10. Note that inner knob “B” IS NOT A TAP and does not turn the water off.
WARNING: DO NOT SWITCH THE SHOWER ON IF YOU SUSPECT IT OF BEING FROZEN.
WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE SURE IT HAS THAWED OUT.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE SHOWER IF WATER IS DISCHARGED FROM THE
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE.
MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED BEFORE THE SHOWER CAN BE SAFELY USED.
WARNING: CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO SUPERVISING THE YOUNG, ELDERLY
AND THE INFIRM WHILST THEY USE THIS SHOWER.
