Water will continue to flow and as the water temperature falls the heating elements will be turned back on. If the unit continues to cycle then increase the flow rate by turning knob “E” clockwise and check that the handset does not require de-scaling. If it still continues to cycle then press button B to the MEDIUM power setting. (Knob E will need adjusting). 10.
power setting may give adequate hot water. 3. The heaters are only switched on when sufficient water is flowing. This is done automatically with a switch, which works on water pressure. 4. The water is turned on and off by the solenoid valve built into the shower. This is switched on by button A, B or C. (diag. 2) 5. The flow of water is automatically held at the level set by the user even though the supply pressure may vary. (See ‘How to use your shower’ note 7). 6.
What to do if things go wrong SELF HELP If the shower is unsatisfactory, make the following checks before calling out the contractor. Any of these adjustments could restore the performance Increase water flow by adjusting the temperature control clockwise. a) Water too HOT Clean spray plate holes. (Select outer or combination spray patterns). Switch power to MEDIUM setting. Increase pressure of water supply e.g. fully open service valve or stop cock. Check hose is not kinked restricting the water flow.
Installation instructions Check that the electrical rating shown on the showers matches the mains supply. A competent installer must undertake all installations. If in any doubt, advice and assistance should be sought from a qualified plumber and/or electrician. Installations and wiring must conform to current BS7671 IEE regulations (UK) WARNING! DO NOT INSTALL THIS SHOWER IN A ROOM WHERE IT MAY BE SUBJECT TO FREEZING We recommend that the installation be done in the following sequence.
. If you have not yet done so, remove the front cover (complete with control knob) of the unit by undoing the retaining screws at the top and bottom of the unit and lifting the cover off. The top-fixing hole is a keyhole slot, and should be marked and drilled first. Tighten top screw with head protruding about 10mm from wall and hook the back-plate over the screw head. This allows for correct and accurate alignment of your shower before marking and fixing the bottom/side position.
Diagram 9 6. With the stop valve connected, flush the pipe-work through to remove any particles etc., before making the final connection to the shower. Blockage in the waterways (particularly the handset and solenoid valve) will prevent the heater working properly. 7. The shower is designed to have an open outlet and should only be used with ‘Redring’ recommended fittings. Do not connect the showerhead until after the shower front cover and removable side section are fitted.
WARNING - FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN A FAILURE OF THE TERMINAL BLOCK AND CABLING. 5. WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. 6. Ensure that the removable side section is fitted securely into the back-plate. 7. Re- connect cable to front cover PCB (one way fit) see diagram 11. 8. Fit the front cover back into position making sure the knob is aligned correctly with the flow valve (see diagram 12).
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, especially on any plated finishes (650 chrome only). Micro fibre clothes are recommended for cleaning the chrome (650 chrome only). We recommend that before cleaning, the isolating switch be turned off, thus avoiding accidentally switching on the shower.
