IMPORTANT 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. 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 thermostatic 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 whilst the shower is in
use. If pressure drops appreciably below
the minimum, the heating elements will
automatically cut out.
NOTE:
If ever the water becomes too hot and
you cannot obtain cooler water, first check
that the sprayplate in the showerhead 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.
