1. REPLACING THE COVER The power selector spindle must be aligned as shown fig 14 Make sure the temperature control is correctly positioned on the stabilising valve by temporarily placing the cover in position so that the splines engage and then rotate the temperature control fully anti clockwise Remove the cover and position the temperature control knob so that it points towards the No 1 position fig 15 Position the power selector to the STOP position fig 16 Replace the cover squarely to the backplate and guide into position so that the knobs locate correctly into the splined spindles Should any difficulty arise recheck the points above Secure the cover in position with the three retaining screws COMMISSIONING WARNING Before normal operation of the shower it is essential the following commissioning procedure is completed correctly The first operation of the shower is intended to flush out any remaining unit debris and to guarantee that the heater unit contains water before the elements are switched on This operation must be carried out with the flexible hose screwed to the outlet but without the showerhead attached Make sure the outlet of the flexible hose is directed to waste Before turning on the electric and mains water supplies to the shower make sure that the power selector is at the STOP position fig 17 and the temperature control is rotated fully cloc2. After choosing the site for the shower use the backplate as a template and mark the two fixing holes fig 11 Drill and plug the wall An appropriate drill bit should be used If the wall is brick plasterboard or a soft building block appropriate wall plugs should be fitted T70si electric shower Screw bottom fixing screw into position leaving the base of the screw head protruding 6 mm out from the wall Hook the backplate over the bottom screw and fit the top fixing screw into position DO NOT fully tighten the screws at this stage as the fixing holes are elongated to allow for out of square adjustment after the plumbing connections have been completed D amp ero 1 lI lL p TT e WARNING The outlet of the shower acts as a vent and MUST NOT be connected to anything other than the hose and showerhead supplied PLUMBING CONNECTIONS Plumbing to be carried out before wiring DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe fittings for the installation DO NOT solder fittings near the shower unit as heat can transfer along the pipework and can damage components Compression fittings MUST be used to connect to the inlet o

MPORTANT When first installed the unit will be empty It is essential the unit should contain water before the elements are switched t is vital that the followed commissioning procedure is Failure to carry out this operation will result in damage to the unit and will invalidate the guarantee The following points will help you understand how the shower operates a The electric heating elements operate at a constant rate at your chosen power setting It is the rate of the water passing through the heater can which determines the water temperature The slower the flow the hotter the water becomes and the faster the flow the cooler the water b During winter the mains water supply will be cooler than in summer so the temperature of the shower will vary between seasons on any one setting of the temperature control At different times of the year you may have to adjust the position of the temperature control to maintain your desired temperature setting c The stabiliser valve minimises variations in shower temperature during mains water pressure changes If changes in shower temperature are experienced during normal use it will most likely to be caused by the water pressure falling near to or below the minimum level The drop in pressure may be due to water being drawn off at other points in the house while the shower is in use If pressure drops appreciably below the minimum the heating elements will automatically c
