1. Advice to Users
Read the section
“Important Safety Information”
first.
1.1.
Electric showers work by taking in cold water and passing it over the heating
elements contained in the tank body of the shower.
1.2.
The showering temperature is adjusted by turning the temperature control knob,
which varies the flow of cold water across the elements. The slower the rate of
flow, the warmer the water and vice versa. The holes in the spray plate of the
shower handset should always be kept clean to maintain a consistent flow and
stable shower temperatures.
1.3.
The Mira Go is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water
pressure fluctuations. These can result from taps being turned on or off or toilets
being flushed. Under such conditions average shower temperatures will be held
within a 6 °C band, provided that the minimum required pressure is maintained.
1.4.
Seasonal changes in the temperature of the incoming cold water supply and/or
fluctuations in mains electrical voltage, will require the
'TEMPERATURE'
knob
to be adjusted as necessary.
1.5.
The Mira Go requires a minimum maintained/running pressure of 0.7 bar to
operate. At pressures above 0.7 bar the Mira Go will minimise the temperature
fluctuations caused when other draw-off points are used. If the flow rate drops
below an acceptable value, the Mira Go will turn the heater elements off,
resulting in a cold shower.
1.6.
If the water temperature reaches an unsafe level, the thermal switch assembly
turns off the heater elements. As the water temperature falls the elements will
be turned on. The switch will cycle on/off/on if the flow rate is not increased and
the temperature of the shower reduced.
1.7.
Check the shower temperature before entering the shower. The previous user
may have selected a
different
temperature setting.
1.8.
When the shower is first turned on, or a different temperature is selected, there
will be a slight delay before the water temperature changes.
