ADVICE TO USERS

The following points will help you understand 
how the shower operates:

a.

 

The electric heating elements operate at a 
constant rate at your chosen power setting. 
It is the rate of the water passing through 
the heater can which determines the water 
temperature. The slower the flow, the hotter 
the water becomes; the faster the flow, the 
cooler the water.

b.

 

During winter the mains water supply will 
be cooler than in the summer, so the flow 
rate will vary between seasons at any one 
temperature setting. At different times of the 
year you may have to adjust the position of 
the temperature control to maintain your 
desired temperature setting.

c.

  The stabiliser valve minimises variations in 

shower temperature during mains water 
pressure changes. If changes in shower 
temperature are experienced during normal 
use, it will most likely be caused by the water 
pressure falling near to or below the minimum 
level. The drop in pressure may be due to 
water being drawn off at other points in the 
house while the shower is in use. If pressure 
drops appreciably below the minimum, the 
heating elements will automatically cut out. 

If ever the water becomes too hot and you 
cannot obtain cooler water, first check that 
the sprayplate in the shower head has not 
become blocked.

DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo 
bottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seep 
through the joint between the cover and backplate 
and possibly damage the sealing rubber.

IMPORTANT: 

When first installed the unit 

will be empty. It is essential the unit should 
contain water before the elements are 
switched on. It is vital that the commission-
ing procedure is followed. Failure to carry 
out this operation will result in damage to 
the unit and will invalidate the guarantee.
