Fitting the Shower to the Wall Fig.7 note: The control knobs are an integral part of the cover – DO NOT attempt to remove them. Unscrew the two top and one bottom retaining screws (fig.7) and lift the cover from the backplate.
Plumbing Connections Fig.10 Plumbing to be carried out before wiring DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe fittings for the installation. DO NOT solder fittings near the shower unit as heat can travel along pipework and damage components. Compression fittings MUST be used to connect 21 mm to the inlet of the shower.
