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.

Supplementary.bonding:
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, (.5 mm² if mechanically protected).
•
The minimum cable size (cross-sectional area) required should be in
accordance with BS 767.
•
As a guide only, and in accordance with BS 767 we recommend close circuit
protection: i.e. 9.8 kW = 45 Amp
•
It is strongly recommended that a 30 mA 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 of
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.
