This manual provides instructions for the installation and operation of the Insignia 1400x900 Diamond Series shower. Before beginning, check all contents against the box list. Do not book a tradesman until all parts have arrived and been checked. The shower is designed to be free-standing and must not be fixed to the wall or floor with rigid pipes. Always use flexible braided hoses.
Preparation and requirements
Ensure you have the necessary tools: scissors, knife, spirit level, tape measure, Philips screwdriver, electric drill, safety gloves, and safety glasses. The shower requires a water pressure between 2.5 and 3.4 BAR. If you have a gravity-fed system, a pump will likely be required. Electrical requirements for the steam version include a 220-240AC, 50Hz supply, protected by an RCD.
Installation steps
The installation process involves several key stages:
- Tray and Waste: Level the tray and install the waste using a McAlpine or similar 40mm compression joint fitting. Do not use glued joints.
- RubberGum: Apply RubberGum to the raised sections of the tray. Ensure it does not contact silicone.
- Columns and Panels: Install the columns and side panels. Press panels down firmly onto the RubberGum. Do not screw panels to the tray.
- Framework: Connect the framework using the provided securing clips.
- Glass and Doors: Install the fixed glass panels and seals, followed by the door handles, seals, and wheels.
- Roof: Secure the roof with the provided screws.
Water and electrical connections
Connect the water supply using flexible braided hoses. For the steam version, connect the steam generator drain hose through the spigot and to the waste. Ensure all connections are watertight before signing off the shower. The steam generator has three connections: steam outlet, water inlet, and drain.
Control panel operation
The control panel allows you to manage lights, steam, radio, and Bluetooth. To start the steam function, press the steam button. Use the mode button to set time and temperature. The panel locks automatically after 20 seconds of inactivity; use the padlock button to unlock.
Safety and maintenance
Never leave children unattended in the shower. The steam function is for adults only. Do not use the steam room if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, or high/low blood pressure. Always turn off the power and water supply after use. Ensure the room is well-ventilated after a steam session.
