INTRODUCTION - PLEASE READ PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Products manufactured by Triton are safe and without risk provided they are installed, used and maintained in good working order in accordance with our instructions and recommendations. WARNING: DO NOT operate shower if frozen, or suspected of being frozen. It must thaw out before using. DO NOT operate the unit if the showerhead or spray hose becomes damaged.
DO NOT operate the shower if water ceases to flow during use or if water has entered inside the unit because of an incorrectly fitted cover. WARNING: If restarting the shower immediately after stopping, be aware that a slug of IMPORTANT GENERAL GUIDANCE NOTES hot water will be expelled for the -first few seconds. 1 GENERAL 1.1 Isolate the electrical and water supplies before 2.3 DO NOT solder pipes or fittings within 300mm of the shower unit, as heat can transfer along the pipework and damage components.
GENERAL ADVICE TO USERS IMPORTANT ADVICE TO USERS 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; the faster the flow, the cooler the water). COMISSIONING ADVICE When first installed the unit will be empty.

The following notes are for guidance only: 1 The shower must only be connected to a 230-240V ac supply.
fuse (see Table A). when the switch is in the OFF position, and the wiring must be connected to the switch SECTION without the use of a plug or socket outlet. 5.1 A 30mA residual current device (RCD) must be installed in all UK electric and pumped shower circuits. This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate unit. 6 3 Continued 6.
SECTION 4 check list Installation - SITING OF THE SHOWER SITING OF THE SHOWER Mains electric supply (via double pole switch) The installation must be in accordance with Water Regulations/Bylaws - see page 2 for water specifications • If it is intended to operate the shower at pressures above the maximum or below the minimum stated, contact Customer Service for advice.
SECTION Continued IMPORTANT: Water regulations (fig.6) 4 WARNING • It is required that the showerhead be ‘constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment so that it can only discharge water at a point not less than 25mm above the spill-over level of the relevant bath, shower tray or other fixed appliance’. The shower MUST NOT be positioned where it will be subjected to freezing conditions.
SECTION 5 check list Installation - PLUMBING INSTALLATION PLUMBING INSTALLATION IMPORTANT INFORMATION Plumbing to be carried out before wiring The outlet of the shower acts as a vent and must not be connected to anything other than the hose and showerhead supplied. • 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 damage components.
SECTION Installation - ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 6 check list ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION NOTE: Deviations from the designated entry points will invalidate product approvals. The cable entry points are listed on page 3. IMPORTANT: Switch off the electricity supply at the mains before proceeding. • The supply cable MUST be secured either by routing through conduit, in trunking, or by embedding in the wall, in accordance with IEE regulations.
SECTION 7 Continued Fig.9 Top pipe trims Top cable “Cut out” entry points The backplate has removable top trims (top left and top right) that may be used for pipe entry and two additional sections (top left and top right) that may ONLY be used as a ‘cut out’ for top electrical cable entry (fig.9). The showers bottom trimplate has also been designed with four ‘cut out’ bottom/side water pipe access points and two ‘cut out’ electrical cable access points (fig.9).
SECTION Continued • Hook the backplate over the top screw and fit the bottom fixing screws into position, but DO NOT fully tighten the screws at this stage. The fixing holes are elongated to allow for out of square adjustment after the plumbing connection has been completed. 7 Fig.10 • Connect the mains water supply to the inlet DO NOT use excessive force when making the connection. • Make sure the backplate is square on the wall and tighten the retaining screws which hold it to the wall.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT disconnect the top wires.
SECTION 7 Continued • (fig.12) shows a schematic wiring diagram. IMPORTANT: When connecting the cable fully tighten the terminal block screws and make sure that no cable insulation is trapped under the screws. Loose connections can result in cable overheating.
