1.8 IT IS IMPORTANT TO CLEAN THE HANDSET SPRAY PLATE REGULARLY, particularly in hard water areas,
where this may be necessary as often as once a week. Failure to do so will affect the performance of the shower, and
in extreme cases may cause the pressure relief device to operate.
Refer to
Section
6.
1.9 The shower heater outlet, hose and handset act as a vent. They must not be blocked, obstructed, or
have connected to them any fitting not approved by us. The use of unapproved accessories may invalidate the
guarantee and affect the performance and safety of the unit.
1.10 WARNING: DO NOT USE the shower if the HOSE IS DAMAGED in any way; for instance if the outer covering
has parted to reveal the inner tube. A damaged hose can suddenly restrict the flow and result in extremely hot water
from the spray head.
A damaged hose could completely block the outlet of the shower; the resulting increase in pressure could burst a
weakened or damaged hose.
1.11 Do not install the shower in a situation where the water in it could freeze. Any damage caused by freezing will
not be covered by the guarantee.
WARNING. If you suspect your shower of being frozen, DO NOT SWITCH ON. If you have switched on,
SWITCH OFF IMMEDIATELY.

1.12 Do not leave young children, the infirm or disabled unattended in the shower.
1.13 Before stepping into the shower, always test the temperature of the spray with your hand.
1.14 Switch off at the isolating switch after use. This is a safety procedure recommended with ALL electric
appliances.
1.15 As with all electrical appliances, it is recommended to have your shower and installation checked at least every
two years by a competent electrician, to ensure there is no deterioration due to age and usage.
1.16 Shampoo and shower gel should be stored using the gel hook and soap dish (where provided) and must not be
placed on top of the shower unit.
How an instant electric shower works
1.17 In an instant electric shower, an electric element heats water AS IT PASSES THROUGH. The temperature of
the shower is adjusted by controlling the rate at which water flows over the heating element. This is done using a flow
control knob. There is no thermostat. If the temperature of the incoming water varies (mains water can be as low as
5°C in winter and as high as 20°C in summer), the output temperature will also vary. The shower is only able to
RAISE the temperature of the water by a given amount (depending upon the flow rate).
