Dispose of plastic bags carefully
Keep children well away from the work area.
Check for hidden pipes and cables in the wall before
drilling holes.
The unit must be mounted on a finished waterproofed
wall surface (usually tiles).
If you are using power tools (e.g. to drill holes) wear
safety glasses and always disconnect tools from the
power supply after use.
Do not operate the shower unit if the hand shower or
spray hose has been damaged or is blocked.
Do not block the flow of water from the hand shower,
by placing it on your hand or any other part of your
body or foreign object.
The thermostatic unit should be serviced annually by a
qualified person to ensure maximum safety during use.
The thermostatic mixing valve will be installed in such
a position that maintenance of the TMV and its valves
and the commissioning and testing of the TMV can be
undertaken.
The mixer is fitted with check valves (page 70 pos.
