MAINTENANCE
General
This Product is precision engineered and should give continued safe and controlled
performance, provided:
1.
It is installed, commissioned, operated and maintained in accordance with
manufacturers recommendations.
2.
Periodic attention is given, when necessary, to maintain the product in good
functional order.
The Kohler range of Thermostatic Mixing Valves are designed for the minimum
of maintenance in normal use. The only serviceable parts are the inlet filters
which should be checked and cleaned every 12 months. If a malfunction occurs
with the Thermostatic Cartridge then this will necessitate a complete cartridge
replacement.
Note!
The cartridge contains no internally serviceable parts.
Lubricants
Silicone based lubricants must only be used on the rubber seals.
Caution!
Oil based or other lubricant types may cause rapid deterioration of
seals.
Cleaning
The chrome plated parts should be cleaned using a mild washing up detergent or
soap solution, rinsed and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Warning!
Many household cleaners contain abrasive and chemical substances,
and should not be used for cleaning plated or plastic fittings.
Do not
use descalents on this product.
Checkvalve Cartridges / Inlet Strainers
General
Hot water entering the cold supply, or vice versa, indicates that immediate attention
of the checkvalve cartridges is necessary.
The checkvalve cartridges may be cleaned by removal of the inlet strainers, and
flushing through under a jet of water to remove lodged particles.
Checkvalve cartridges are not serviceable items, so any apparent wear or
damage will require renewal.
Blockage of the inlet strainer screens can lead to poor flow performance and reduced
temperature control. It is essential that the inlet strainer screens are cleaned or, if
necessary, renewed as part of the six-monthly maintenance operations.
