The following points will help you to
understand how your Dimplex shower unit
operates.
The flow rate of water passing through the
shower unit determines the water temperature.
The lower the flow the warmer the water, the
higher the flow the cooler the water.
The temperature produced by the shower
unit will vary between seasons on any one
setting of the temperature control. This is due
to variance in the temperature of the water
supply, which becomes cooler in winter than
summer.
The stabiliser valve maintains an almost
constant shower temperature during mains
water pressure changes.
If changes in temperature are experienced in
normal use, it is likely to be caused by water
pressure falling below the minimum level. Falls
in water pressure may be due to water being
drawn off at other points within the building.
The shower head must be cleaned regularly to
remove scale and debris. If the water becomes
hot and you are unable to obtain cooler water,
check the shower head for blockage.

Operating features
Power Neon Indicator
The ‘Power’ neon indicator will be illuminated
when the shower unit is switched on and
water is flowing on the heat settings. The light
will not come on when the shower unit is on
the cold setting.
Auto Reset Neon Indicator
The Auto Reset Neon Indicator will be
illuminated during normal operation if an
overheat temperature is sensed, power to the
element will be cut off, water will continue to
flow until the unit has cooled sufficiently. Power
to the elements will be automatically restored.
If the Auto Reset Neon Indicator persistently
functions, ensure that the shower head is free
from scale and debris which will increase the
flow of water through the unit.
SECTION 12
Shower head cleaning instructions
IN SHOWER MAINTENANCE
To break away scale
deposits on a daily basis
simply rub your thumb over
the rubber nipples whilst the
shower is running.
The shower head should be cleaned
periodically to remove limescale or debris
which will reduce the performance of the
shower. The frequency of cleaning will vary
according to local water quality. In hard water
areas cleaning will be needed more often
than in soft water areas. A liquid non-abrasive
bathroom cleaner may be used on external
surfaces of the handset.
