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 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 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, 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 commissioning procedure is followed.
Failure to carry out this operation will result
in damage to the unit and will invalidate the
guarantee.
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.
