SANISHOWER®/SANIPUMP 1® is designed to take the waste from a shower and handbasin. This appliance conforms to EN 12050-2 and the European standards concerning electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

INSTALLATION
- The unit should be installed in the same space as the connected facilities and should be accessible for possible service.

CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
The electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified person
The unit should be connected to a fully earthed electrical supply. All wiring must conform to BS7671, 1992 requirements for electrical installations. The unit requires a 220/240V single-phase AC 50 Hz supply (UK specification). Do not connect the unit to a conventional plug and socket. It must be wired into a fused, unswitched, fixed wiring connector fitted with a 5 amp fuse. The wires in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:
- Brown: Live

- Green/Yellow: Earth
Warning: Ensure the electricity is turned OFF at the main switchboard before wiring to the connector. All work on cable, pressure chamber, and motor should only be carried out by a qualified Saniflo servicing agent, as special tools are required.
COMMISSIONING THE UNIT
Once electrical and plumbing connections have been made, check that all seals and connections are watertight. Check both the discharge pipework from the unit and the other sanitary appliances connections.
