These showers are designed to be free standing and movable from their location should you have need to replace anything. ALWAYS USE Flexible braided water inlet pipes at least a metre long (not central heating plastic type! ) from house supply to the shower and again flexible waste pipe to join to your house waste. NEVER fix with rigid pipes, never fix the unit to the wall.

DURING BUILD, LIKE ALL SHOWERS CORRECT SEALING IS IMPERATIVE.

TOTAL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Voltage Rating 220 -240AC

Frequency Rating 50HZ

Power Rating 3.0KW

Your electrical contractor should understand ALL legal requirements of connection before undertaking any work or installation.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES UNDERTAKE THIS YOURSELF!!!

Note for electrician. This product comes with 13 amp plug(s) fitted with an RCD unit. We leave it this way for you to connect this your own way due to continued additions to current regulations. As at October 2010 we offered two methods.

1) Connect within current laws and IP directives using plug and RCD provided with steam version or supply one for non steam version

2) (Preferred) Wire into isolated fused feed connecting directly to the house consumer/service box. Remove the fitted plug and ensure the Consumer unit has capabilities to replace RCD feature if RCD is removed.

Always use protection against electrical surge. Your shower should be treated the same as a home computer. A surge protector should eradicate the possibility of either the transformer or computer control being burnt out. Please note earth is required and found on chassis of shower tray. A further earth is required from Steam Generator unit. Each earth must ground through power supply line.

Pressure Requirements from your house supply

We recommend a bar pressure between 2.5 and 3.4 BAR. If you have a combi boiler system no problem should be experienced. If you have a gravity feed older type installation (hot water tank type usually less than 1 bar) you will almost certainly need a pump. We cannot advise on which type of pump is used, location or design because all house plumbing layouts vary. This is a job for your installer/plumber. The end delivery however must fall within the scope above.

Debit Requirements

You will need the debit capabilities of at least 10 litres per minute. Again an average combi boiler will supply this but please check if you have a gravity feed system.

Important Note Do not exceed 3.4 BAR pressure under any circumstances. Warranty is void if so as damage will occur. If you have a combi sup ply, please use a pressure reducing valve if required to lower the BAR pressure to the shower.

Please Remember that this product is free standing and is designed to be pulled away from the wall. The water supply and waste require flexible pipes. If you purchased the fitting kit with this shower you will have the required fittings. The water supply pipes need to be at least 1 metre in length and must be that of a flexi braided type..

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN IT CAN CAUSE THE CONNECTION TO POP AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF USE

Please note if a shower pump is used via gravity system we recommend a separate cold feed bypassing pump direct to generator to avoid damage to the

generator.

Further to this as you would with a washing machine or dishwasher, it is highly recommended that accessible water valve taps are installed to turn off the shower when not

In use. This will avoid any possible flooding due to a burst pipe or connection failure in the future.

Whilst the next steps show you how to assemble your shower we want to make sure you have a correct build to ensure you get a trouble free shower. Therefore our advice is to follow the instructions and perform a dry run to ensure you are confident with the build and you understand fully how the unit is assembled. When we use the word

“DRY RUN” this means you do not silicone anything, just simply construct the shower, align, drill and screw everything together. Once you are happy with the build take the unit apart and carry out the final fix.

TO START

Make sure you have a clear space, remember when finished and in place you need access to check your build and able to pull the shower out for servicing or should you have the need to replace anything!

Take the shower tub and remove all the protective wrapping and fit the waste. If you purchased the fitting kit it is possible this may have already been fitted in the tray hole yet please note this is only for transportation reasons therefore you will still need to ensure the correct sealing and alignment is carried out. In the side of the waste supplied in the optional fitting kit you will notice a spigot not seen on an ordinary waste. In most cases this is blanked yet should you have a steam version you need to gently drill this out as this item is for the steam generator drainage and will be connected in the instructions later.

Now please level the tray by firstly placing the tray in its final location and then using a spirit level, adjust the tray feet accordingly. Once you are happy with the levelling of the tray, you can pull it out to begin the main construction.

Step 1

Take the 3 back panels labelled Left, Right and Centre and attach them together as shown below. Ensure that you insert the

T-Strips between the left and centre panel and repeat for the same for the right hand panel.

Secure into position using the B28/N10/BW12 bolts, washers and hex nuts as shown in the image below.

NOTE: looking from the front of the shower, the Left hand panel has the steam generator located under the seat at the rear of the shower!

Your Shower should now look like this

Step 2

Attach the uprights to the curved rails using the ST35 screws

(Rail with Insignia logo at the top)

Last Modified 08/10/2015

Step 3

Take the 2 front glass panels and lay them down gently. Now attach the “U” shape rubber seal to one side of each panel and cut off any excess.

11

Step 4

Now push the front fixed glass into the frames in the direction as shown by the below arrows and then fix into place using the PRC20 securing clips and ST13 screws www.insigniarange.com Last Modified 08/10/2015

Step 5

Take the front frame and meet this to the back panels and screw together using the ST14 screws

Last Modified 08/10/2015

Step 6

Alight the roof into position but DO NOT screw into position yet

13

www.insigniarange.com

Step 7

Align the back panels to the contour of the tray and the roof and once your happy everything is perfectly aligned use the nut, bolt and washer

(B22/N6/SW9) to connect the panels to the tray as shown in the image.

Note: The holes are already pre-cut in the back panels but not in the tray.

Last Modified 08/10/2015

Step 8

Now the base is securely in position you can attach the roof. Using the nuts, bolts and washers (B22/N6/SW9) connect the back panels to the roof.

NOTE: If a small gap exists silicone seal later

14

www.insigniarange.com Last Modified 08/10/2015

Step 9

Taking the left and right hand doors insert the wheels to the top and bottom of each door. Ensure the double wheels fix to the top of the door and the single push button to the bottom. To secure in to place simply unscrew the bolt at the back of the wheel and prise apart the wheel. Push the wheel over the bottom/top of the door and re-attach the bolt.

To hang the doors, carefully carry the door in to the shower and hang the top wheels on to the track. Next de-press the buttons on the bottom wheels until the wheel falls in to the rail. Do this for both doors the close them up together. It will be more than likely the doors wont meet correctly at this stage, therefore adjust the top wheels by the screw underneath the wheel up or down by screwing clockwise/anti-clockwise until the doors meet perfectly.

Handles

Ensuring that the inner thread is protruding out from the handle far enough, place the handle on the outside of the door and secure by tightening the inner chrome knob to the protruding inner thread

Magnetic Seals (If not fitted)

Push the magnetic door seal on the handle side of the glass door ensuring this is tightly fitted.

Connect the hoses to the corresponding inlets on the back of the shower.

Device output may differ from the image. Please refer to your outer chrome faceplate inside your Insignia shower as a reference point.

IF YOUR DIAL DOES NOT CORROSPOND TO THE APPROPRIATE DEVICE:

Turn on your water to the shower and note which output the water exits from then turn off the water and swap over the relevant hose.

Alternatively remove the outer chrome knob by removing the chrome cap and loosening the grub screw (please ensure not to unscrew fully as this will drop within the chrome knob) this is found on the opposite side to the chrome pillar. Once you have succeeded in loosening this you can now slide your faceplate to correspond to the device.

TESTING FOR WATER LEAKS

LEAVING SHOWER 24 HOURS AFTER BUILD ALLOWING SEALENT TO CURE

With all connections tight, the waste and hoses checked, jets fully sealed, your shower still around 18 inches from its designated final resting point and the silicone fully cured (hence leaving for 24 hours minimum)

Switch on the overhead shower NOT the massage jets, remember these will fire water out at you and are not suitable for checking leaks as they would normally only operate when a person is in front of them. Just use COLD water setting as hot will make cabin misty and condensate thus the inspection becomes very difficult. Now on the OUTSIDE of the shower inspect each joint, factory seal, hose, clip and jet by walking from one side and going around to the back and then to the other side finishing at the front. If you have a small leak (normally caused through insufficient sealer or air bubble on assembly, dry the area thoroughly and reseal on the OUTSIDE. Please remember where you see the water this may not be exactly where the leak is as it could have run around to a low point. Never seal your inner fittings (accessories) inside unless you feel it necessary and make sure it is thin and neat, remember you will see this for the life of the shower!

Again leave to cure and check. If all good now check shower functions i.e. jets for back massage, foot massage, (if you have one) and finally hand shower, check your joints to these functions at the rear again. Never use the shower until

all

checks have been made and the installer is 100% happy in the knowledge no leaks are present.

All good?

Now push your shower FROM THE BASE NEVER GLASS OR FRAME into its final resting position.

Now you can shower in the knowledge that you have no leaks a job done well and long product life.

Happy showering!
