Electrical Rating

We purchased a Gainsborough Swift in 1996, which is worn out now and needs to be replaced. However, there is no indication in the installation booklet giving the power rating of the shower but it is connected through a 40 amp RCD. So, please can you tell me if it would be safe to replace it with a 9 kW or 9.5 kW shower?

You need to replace like for like.

It came with different ratings there should be a plastic sticker on the underside of the cover and/or inside the unit, also it is stamped into the top of the heating can although this may be difficult to see.
