12.8 Trickle vents
Care and maintenance
The slots on the external hood/grille should
be kept clean and free from obstruction, use a
vacuum cleaner and/or small soft brush. The
vents may be cleaned with a damp cloth only,
do not use solvent or abrasive cleaners.
i Note: Make sure that you follow all the
recommendations and cautions supplied with
the product.
12.9 Repairs
On white profiles only, stains and scratches
can be removed by sanding and polishing. Use
a 320/400 grit sanding disc and polish using
a sisal rotary brush to bring back the surface
finish.
i
Note: It is important that you achieve a
smooth even finish before beginning the
polishing stage.
On wood grain surfaces, care should be taken
when cleaning. Any white areas showing as a
result of damage or cleaning can be retouched
using a wood grain marker pen.
If you have a breakage or a crack in the glass,
please contact your nearest glazier. Handle
any broken glass with care and dispose of with
safety of others in mind.
12.10 Kitchen and bathroom
Toilet/shower room
Thermostatic mixer valve (shower)
The Thermostatic Mixer Valve accurately
controls the temperature of water for showering
and will maintain the pre-set temperatures if the
water pressure varies when other appliances
are used. This significantly reduces the risk of
scalding when showering.
CAUTION: All Thermostatic Mixing Valves
(TMV’s) must be carefully protected against
frost damage and should be removed or
correctly drained down during months in
which frost may occur.
Function
Hot and cold water entering the valve is mixed
to a temperature pre-selected by the user
or installer which is achieved by a thermally
sensitive mechanism within the valve that
proportions the amount of hot and cold water
entering it. The mechanism then automatically
compensates for any variations in supply
pressures or temperatures to maintain the pre-
selected temperature.
i
Note: In the event of cold water supply
failure, the thermostatic mixing mechanism
will automatically shut down the flow to
prevent discharge of dangerously hot water.
Operating pressure:
Dynamic pressure:
Min: 0.5 Bar
Advisable: 1 Bar
Max: 5 Bar
Static pressure:
Max: 10 Bar
Valves operating outside the above conditions
of use cannot be guaranteed to operate as Type
2 valves.
The valve is designed for use as a high-pressure
valve and is tested against BS EN 1111.
