Ensure the electricity and water are turned on to the unit 2. Function of controls : KNOB “A” – Power selector.
Model 620 - Press button “C”. The electricity to the elements is then switched off, water will continue to flow for approximately 5 seconds before switching off. This reduces the temperature of the water in the unit. Switch the electricity off at the ceiling switch or local isolator. 10. Your shower is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water pressure fluctuations. These can result from toilets being flushed or taps being turned on or off.
throughout the year from 5 to 20°C. This means that in Winter, the flow rate will be less than in the Summer to achieve the same outlet temperature. In summer the ‘MED (medium)’ or ‘LOW’ power setting may give adequate hot water. The heaters are only switched on when sufficient water is flowing. This is done automatically with a switch, which works on water pressure. 3. The water is turned on and off by the solenoid valve built into the shower.
Check the spray plate is then free to rotate to give the three settings. In some winter conditions, when the incoming mains water is particularly cold it may be necessary to select the inner or outer spray pattern only. This will ensure correct operation of the shower with a slightly lower water flow rate Note: After use it is normal for some water to drip from the showerhead for a few moments, this inhibits scale build up over prolonged use.
a) Water too HOT b) Water too COLD c) Water leaks from burst pressure relief valve d) Water does not flow when Knob “A” is rotated (when button “C” is pressed 620 only) Water flow restricted by blockage in filter of solenoid valve. Switch off water and undo plastic nut on elbow, loosen brass nut to swing elbow away from solenoid. Remove filter in solenoid with long nosed pliers and flush clean.
Diagram 6 c) The handset must not be able to come into contact with any used water in the bath or basin. If it can, even after the hose has been retained by the hose retainer (see diagram 13), then a vacuum breaker must be fitted. It should be noted that these devices are liable to minor leakage so they must be positioned so that any drips are not detrimental. Diagram 5 4. Fix the riser rail with screws provided.
Diagram 9 1. It is recommended that a WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) listed isolating valve is fitted between the rising main and the unit. This will allow the unit to be serviced or exchanged without having to turn off the water at the mains stop valve. 2. The heater can be fed from a header tank provided this has a minimum head height of 10.5 metres (35ft). 3. 15mm copper or stainless steel pipe should be used alongside with a standard compression fitting.
Cable Sizes Fuse/ MCB 7.5 / 6.9kW 240/230V 6mm² 40A Cartridge fuse Type A MCB 14m max 8.5 / 7.8 kW 240/230 V 6mm² 40A Cartridge fuse 14m max Type A MCB 22m max 9.5 / 8.7kW 240/230V 10mm² 40 or 45A Cartridge fuse 22m max You may be able to use 6mm² cable if Method 1 (clipped direct) is used. Remember to up-rate the cable if it runs in thermal insulation in a loft, or for a longer distance. 3. A means for disconnection in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
d) That the holes in the spray plate are not blocked. e) Water flow can be adjusted by knob B. Diagram 12 9. DEMONSTRATE OPERATION TO USER 10. LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE USER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. How to maintain your shower It is recommended that the shower unit, riser rail, hose etc. can be cleaned using a soft cloth and that the use of an abrasive or solvent cleaning fluid be avoided.
