Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a quality Mira product. To enjoy the full potential of your
new product, please take time to read this guide thoroughly. Having done so, keep
it handy for future reference.
The Mira Orbis is a thermostatic electric shower with separate controls for power
selection and temperature/flow adjustment. A unique thermostatic valve stabilises
temperature changes caused by water pressure fluctuations. These can result from
taps being turned on or off, or toilets being flushed. A digital display indicates shower
temperature, clock (with battery backup), low flow and over temperature warnings.
The Mira Orbis comes complete with a set of Mira Energise Shower Fittings.
Mira Orbis 9.0 kW
A 9.0 kW 240 V AC (8.2 kW 230 V AC) heater with Mira Energise adjustable spray
handset with four different spray actions (start, soothe, force and eco*). Supplied
complete with flexible hose, clamp bracket assembly, slide bar, supports, hose
retaining ring and soap dish. Available in white/chrome.
Mira Orbis 9.8 kW
A 9.8 kW 240 V AC (9.0 kW 230 V AC) heater with Mira Energise adjustable spray
handset with four different spray actions (start, soothe, force and eco*). Supplied
complete with flexible hose, clamp bracket assembly, slide bar, supports, hose
retaining ring and soap dish. Available in white/chrome and black/chrome finish.
Mira Orbis 10.8 kW
A 10.8 kW 240 V AC (9.9 kW 230 V AC) heater with Mira Energise adjustable spray
handset with four different spray actions (start, soothe, force and eco*). Supplied
complete with flexible hose, clamp bracket assembly, slide bar, supports, hose
retaining ring and soap dish. Available in white/chrome finish.
* The eco setting reduces the water flow to give economical use of water, whilst
still giving an adequate shower performance. This setting performs best with most
gravity, pumped, and mains pressure unvented systems. On electric showers and
some combination boiler systems the economy setting will have no effect, and will
give the same spray action as the start setting.
If you experience any difficulty with the installation or operation of your new Electric Shower,
please refer to ‘Fault Diagnosis’, before contacting Kohler Mira Ltd. Our telephone and
fax numbers can be found on the back cover of this guide.

The Mira Orbis 10.8 kW requires a 45 Amp circuit protection device.
The terminal block will accept cable up to 16 mm².
3. Standards and Approvals
• The Mira Orbis complies with all relevant directives for CE marking.
Installation Requirements
1. Plumbing
• The appliance is designed to operate with a minimum maintained inlet pressure
of 0.7 bar (for 9.0 kW and 9.8 kW) and 1.0 bar (for 10.8 kW) up to a maximum
static inlet pressure of 10 bar.
•
•
When installed in very hard water areas (above 200 ppm temporary hardness)
your installer may advise the installation of a water treatment device, to reduce
the effects of limescale formation. Your local water company will be able to
advise the hardness of water in your area.
It is recommended that a non-restrictive (free flowing) isolating valve is fitted in
the cold water supply pipe to allow the complete maintenance of the appliance.
Do not use a valve with a loose washer plate (jumper) as this can lead to a
build up of static pressures.
•
The appliance is suitable for installation within the shower area. It is fitted with
a pressure relief device and must be positioned over a water catchment area
with the controls at a convenient height for all users.
•
The appliance must be fitted on to a finished flat and even wall surface (this
wall surface should be tiled or waterproofed). DO NOT fit the appliance to
the wall and tile up to the case. For safety requirements, an air gap must be
left behind the appliance.
•
Avoid layouts where the shower hose will be sharply kinked. This may reduce
the life of the hose.
•
A Soap Dish/Hose Retaining Ring is supplied to prevent the handset from
dropping below the spill-over level of the bath or shower tray, which could
lead to contamination from back-siphoning. The supplied Hose Retaining Ring
should meet the majority of user requirements for shower installations with
flexible outlet fittings. However, there will be occasions when it will not provide
a suitable solution. In these instances an outlet double checkvalve, e.g. a
Mira DCV-H, must be fitted. This will increase the required supply pressure
typically by 0.1 bar (see section “Accessories”).
•
Supply pipework MUST be flushed to clear debris before connecting to the
appliance.
•
To avoid damage to the case when soldered fittings are used, pre-solder the
pipework and fittings before connecting them to the inlet connector assembly.
Refrain from applying excessive force when making any connections. Always
provide mechanical support when making the plumbing connections.
•
The appliance is fitted with a brass inlet compression assembly for connecting
to a 15 mm supply pipe from the top, bottom or back. The fitting of double
checkvalves in the inlet supply to the appliance, can cause a pressure
build‑up, which could exceed the maximum static inlet pressure and damage
the appliance.

2. Electrical
• In a domestic installation, the rating of the electricity supplier’s fuse and the
consumer unit must be adequate for the additional demand. All Mira electric
showers are high power units, it is essential to contact your electricity supplier
to ensure that the supply is adequate for the product. Voltage drop due to
local heavy demand will reduce the shower’s performance.
•
The appliance must be earthed by connecting the supply-cable earth
conductor to the earth terminal. Supplementary bonding: Within the bathroom
or shower room, all accessible conductive parts of electrical equipment and
extraneous conductive parts (metal parts) that are likely to introduce earth
potential, must be electrically bonded to earth using a minimum cable size of
4.0 mm2 if the cable is not mechanically protected, (2.5 mm2 if mechanically
protected).
•
The minimum cable size (cross-sectional area) required should be in
accordance with BS 7671.
•
As a guide only, and in accordance with BS 7671 we recommend close circuit
protection: i.e. 9.8 kW = 45 Amp
•
It is strongly recommended that a 30mA Residual Current Device (RCD) is
included in the electrical circuit. This may be part of the consumer unit or a
separate unit.
•
A separate, permanently connected supply must be taken from the consumer
unit to the appliance through a double-pole switch, which has at least 3 mm
contact separation. The switch can be a ceiling mounted pullcord type within
the shower room or a wall mounted switch in an adjacent room.
•
DO NOT twist the individual cable cores of either the live or neutral conductors,
as this will prevent them from entering the terminal block.
•
DO NOT exert strain on the terminal block. Make sure that the electrical
connections are tightly screwed down.
•
DO NOT turn-on the electrical supply until the plumbing has been
completed.
