1. When the temperature lever knob on the right of the valve when viewed from the front has the
maximum temperature override button at the top of the knob, the valve is in the mid blend position.
The mid blend temperature is dictated by the temperature of the incoming supplies. To select a
comfortable showering temperature, depress the button and slowly rotate the knob away from
the finished wall surface to increase the temperature and towards the finished wall to decrease the
temperature, using the temperature markings as a guide.
N.B. Should it be necessary to reset the maximum temperature position, please refer to the commissioning
instructions on page 14.
We recommend the MAXIMUM outlet temperature is set to 46
o
C.
2. Turn the valve on by carefully rotating the flow control knob on the left of the valve when viewed from
the front, towards the finished wall surface until the required volume of flow is reached. Turn the valve
off by rotating the flow control knob away from the finished wall until a stop is reached.
N.B. With all Aqualisa bar valves fitted to combination boiler systems, it may be necessary to adjust
the flow control knob and reduce the flow to achieve a comfortable showering temperature.

! DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.
To reduce the need for chemical descaling in hard water areas, your shower head incorporates a ‘clear flow’ system, whereby any scale
build up can be broken down by gently rubbing the flexible tips of the jets during use. This procedure should be completed regularly,
as often as once a week in some hard water areas, as scale build up can affect the spray pattern and cause the shower to perform
poorly. Failure to descale the shower head can affect the internal seals and may affect the warranty.
Should chemical descaling of the head become necessary, remove the shower head fully and immerse in a mild proprietary descalent.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT DESCALING IS CARRIED OUT STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURERS
INSTRUCTIONS. SUBSTANCES THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR PLASTICS AND ELECTROPLATED SURFACES MUST
