Grohe F10, Installation Manual

Page: 8 / 52

Please read the following notes before planning and installing a GROHE F-digital
Deluxe steamroom!
Coordination is the key. It is important to appoint an experienced supervisor
before beginning construction to ensure each stage of the project is correctly
carried out. Refer to the planning examples in this document for further details
about the correct way to install the water supply, the drain pipes, the electrical
cabling and the vapour barrier (if a steam generator is used).
Choosing materials. The materials used for the walls, the ceiling, the furniture
and the electrical wiring and appliances must be carefully chosen to resist
100% humidity.
Understand the installation notes & local regulations.
Before work
commences, the project supervisor must be familiar with all the general
installation notes for GROHE F-digital Deluxe as well as the country-specific
regulations concerning construction work, plumbing, electric installation
and the Technical Product Information (TPI).
Plan the installation carefully. Check the best place for the base unit box and
steam generator, especially in relation to the waste outlet, the maximum length
(15m) of the steam pipe (copper pipe with a diameter of 15mm), and the need to
completely isolate the steam pipe and pressure reducer. GROHE recommends the
steam generator is located in a side room for easy maintenance. In addition, a pipe
drain siphon is needed for boiling water after flushing. The drain has to be placed
next to the steam generator, but not directly below to prevent upcoming steam.
To avoid damages to the building please ensure adequate ventilation
of the room above the ceiling shower and protect the surfaces with
an appropriate moisture resistant paint.
Consult a qualified electricians. As installing steam generators, electronic
products and/or electric cables in wet rooms can be hazardous it is important
to use a qualified electrician. All products in the GROHE F-digital Deluxe range
must be connected using a dedicated circuit that is secured by an appropriate
ground fault circuit interrupter (FI)! Please ensure you use an uninterrupted
power supply. If this is not possible, GROHE recommends the installation of
an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in accordance with local regulations.
Test and calibrate the system.
After the system has been installed it is
important to check if it is working properly. For the initial operation of the
system an Apple or Android device with GROHE SPA® App installed is needed.
Next, the pipes must be flushed, pressurized and checked for leaks. The initial
operation steps are described in detail in the TPI (36 397 000 / 26 374 000).
Instruct the customer.
When the completed steam room is presented,
the customer should be instructed in its use and receive a copy of all TPIs.
