I was hoping for a link to the manufacturer's web site so we could have a look at the installation instructions.

power inside a bathroom

I did try myself before I bought it - in the end I checked similar product - these are probably made in China and even if you grab their manuals you'll need to decoded them (am still at it)....there are some reasons why these shower are so cheap - it's a bit like gambling really.
If it doesn't come with adequate instructions for it to be safely installed and used then the importer has committed a criminal offence, and you should report to Trading Standards. Is it CE marked?
hold your horses....the product is "CE uk passed" marked and seems of decent quality to me - the manuals are just about right, only a bit too "minimalistic" for such a complex item (for example there is no info about the performance of the fan) and one can tell they haven't spent much time/resources on translation...you need a bit of lateral thinking.
On retrospect, when checking the advert I can see now the steamer was mentioned as requiring 3000w - just, I've missed that and assumed this "steam" shower was going to run on 12v!! (silly me). Anyhow, no major damage done...only a bit more time designing a suitable arrangement for more power entering the bathroom.
AFAIK that is not an official designation, therefore it is quite likely to not be a genuine declaration of CE compliance.

Maybe you are happy for you and your family to climb inside something of doubtful safety compliance which combines water and several kW of electrical power to make steam on the basis of that assessment.
Or maybe you aren't.
And do you plan to design, install and test that?

Gambling with one life or the lifes of anyone is never a good idea.
How genuine are the "CE UK passed" notations,
Chinese Export, Utter K-rap comes to mind.
I am told that all CE marked equipment must have clear installation instructions if an incorrect installation could result in them being not fit for purpose.
In this and the other thread you have singularly demonstrated and have indeed stated that you are not competent to do this work and therefore are not legally allowed to do it.
