Hi, hoping someone can advise please. when I switch the oven on, the display comes on but before I can select a program, it shuts off and starts beeping. The clock also resets to 12.00.

Am I missing something? The instruction, as I understand it anyway states that the recommended inlet pressure is 0.1bar. It then says if between 0.1bar & 0.01bar, priming may be needed. Does this not mean initially to get pump running without running dry? If that is the case then surely the...

Thanks for reply. Did not measure the water pressure as the mixer valve in main bathroom is fine. The vertical distance from bottom of cold tank to shower head is approx' 450mm but is this relevant as the unit is pumped? Gary.
