From the very broken english description of the connection method I'd say
it
is pretty much like a shower supply. I feel that it requires a separate
circuit of supply totally run from your consumer unit. The protection
would
appear to be a two pole circuit breaker but the cable size eludes me, "6
x
25mm", 25mm cable size does seem rather extreme. Perhaps it's a 6mm cable
that is required.

It would also require an earth cable run straight from the main earth
terminal found at your consumer unit.


I'm wondering weather it need 2 16A supplies. That would be L,N &E twice
over hence 6 x 2.5mm^2.

32A - bloody hell - did he say *bath* or olympic swimming pool?? Our one
had similarly cryptic instructions, but when worked out and translated,
basically it gets wired in like the electric shower that it replaced - in
fact - it used the wiring as it was it's own cct back to the CU with it's
own MCB etc.

You have to love the wording in some of these docuemnts tho
