ADVICE TO USERS

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

1

The electric heating elements operate at a

constant rate at your chosen power setting.
It is the flow rate of the water passing
through the heater unit which determines
the shower temperature at any given
setting. (The slower the flow the hotter the
water becomes, and the faster the flow the
cooler the water).

2

During Winter, mains water supply will be

cooler than in Summer. Therefore the
temperature of the shower will vary
between seasons on any one setting of the
temperature control, e.g. if you have chosen
setting number 6 as your preferred shower
temperature in the Summer, you will have to
increase that number during Winter by
adjusting the temperature control clockwise
(which in effect slows the water flow). 

3

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 whilst 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
sprayhead has not become blocked.

Replacement parts can be ordered from
Customer Service. See 

‘spare parts’

for

details and part numbers.

Due to continuous improvement and updating,
specification may be altered without prior notice.
