ECO setting (shower mixer faucet) or bath/shower switch (bath mixer faucet):
Shower mixer faucet:
Your shower mixer faucet is equipped with an ECO setting. By turning the right-hand knob forward, you
automatically use the water-saving ECO setting. By pressing down the button on the knob while turning the knob
backward, you turn on the full water capacity.
Bath mixer faucet:
The right knob of your bath mixer faucet regulates the water flow between the bath tap and the shower tap. Turning
this knob forward activates the flow from the bath tap. Pressing the button while turning the knob back activates the
shower tap. If desired, you may swing the bath tap under the housing of the faucet.
Features:
Your thermostatically controlled faucet is equipped with:
•
Easy-connect S-brackets with built-in one-way valves. This system also ensures that there is no need for
unsightly coupling nuts.
•
Polymer
thermostat cartridge (Polymer does not bond calcium deposits as much, so it is less sensitive to
malfunctions).
•
Ceramic disks.
•
Sold brass housing and knobs.
•
ECO (water-saving) setting, factory-calibrated (shower mixer faucet).
•
Bath/shower switch (bath mixer faucet).
•
Swivelling bath tap.
•
Faucet housing temperature limit: The faucet housing does not grow warmer than the temperature you set
(to prevent the risk of burns while showering, when your skin comes into contact with the faucet housing).
•
Hot water stop: The hot water supply stops automatically if the (cold) water pressure drops, to prevent
scalding.
Maintenance:
Clean with a soft, damp cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners.
Shut off the cold and hot water supply.
A. One-way valves
Disassemble the mixer faucet. Remove the washer rings from the S-brackets. Then remove the one-way
valves and the dirt filter. Clean all the parts and flush out the pipes. Reassemble all the parts in reverse
order.
B.
Thermo-cartridge and/or switch cartridge
Remove the protective cover from the thermostat knob (should be replaced). Disassemble the knob (see
items 7 and 8). Remove the retaining screw using appropriate tools (art. no.
5000.3.60.90, not enclosed).
Remove the cartridge from the housing and clean it. Reassemble all the parts in reverse order. After
maintenance on the thermo-cartridge, it should be recalibrated (see items 4-10).
Draining pipes to prevent freezing:
When draining the water from the pipes, the thermostatically controlled faucet should be drained separately. This is
because there are one-way valves in the connections. To do so, remove the faucet from the S-brackets.
Service and warranty:
Tiger guarantees that your thermostatically controlled shower or bath mixer faucet will work perfectly. In the
unfortunate event that a problem does occur with your faucet, to the extent that it is due to manufacturing and/or
material errors, Tiger will replace the malfunctioning parts free of charge during the five-year warranty period. Your
proof of purchase is also your proof of warranty and should be submitted with any warranty claims. The drawing on
page 22-23 offers an overview of all the parts and their article numbers.
General
Thermostatically controlled faucets are suitable for use in combination with pressure boilers. If sufficient capacity is
available (18 kW and up) then electrical or (from 250 kcal/min) gas water heaters can also be used. Thermostats
cannot be used in combination with low-pressure boilers.
Assembly instructions for Items thermostatically controlled shower or bath mixing faucet
Installation:
(See instruction drawings)
Before you start: Flush the pipes out thoroughly to ensure that no dirt can rinse
from the pipes into the faucet.
1.
Turn off the water supply. Check if the distance between the centre points of the connections in the wall is
within the tolerance levels specified on the drawing and check the article number on the package to make
sure you purchased the correct faucet.
2. Determine the length of the screw thread by screwing it into the wall panel (without sealant tape). The
connection point should protrude at least 32 mm and no more than 36 mm from the wall. Saw off a piece
of the screw thread if necessary. Mount the S-brackets according to the sketch. Note! Hot water left, cold
water right. (Sealant tape is not provided.)
Adjust the S-brackets to 140 mm (centre point to centre point); make sure that the brackets are
perfectly level. Grease the O-rings of the S-brackets with faucet lubricant.
3.
Tip:
We recommend that you fill the openings in the tiles around the S-brackets with silicon sealant so
no moisture can penetrate in the wall behind the tiles.
Slide the faucet onto the S-brackets without rosettes and attach it to the connection using the two
screws that come with it (Fig 3B).
Note: do not insert these screws into the faucet housing
beforehand, since they could damage the O-rings when sliding the faucet on.
Turn the
water supply back on and
check the connections of the S-brackets for leaks (Fig. 3C).
Setting the temperature:
The thermostat has been calibrated in the factory. Because conditions may vary depending on the hot water supply,
the temperature of the water flowing out of the faucet may differ from the basic setting. The temperature should be
adjusted, therefore, to local conditions. To set the temperature, follow the instructions from item 4-10.
4. Turn the thermostat knob until it stops at the notch (safety block) at 40
°
C. Open the water supply (right
knob). Use a (clinical) thermometer to check the temperature of the water flowing out. If it is 40
°
C, please
go to step 10.
5. If the temperature is not 40
°
C: Remove the retaining screw of the thermostat knob.
6. Remove the thermostat knob.
7.
Turn the right-hand knob of the faucet and measure the temperature of the water flowing out. Turn the
spindle of the thermostat until the water reaches a temperature of 40
°
C.
8. Shut off the water by turning the right-hand knob and put the thermostat knob back on the spindle.
Position the knob in such a way that the safety block button coincides with the 40
°
C mark on the housing,
against the blocking ring, without turning the spindle.
9.
Put the retaining screw back on and check the setting.
10. Put the enclosed protective covers in the screw recesses on both knobs.
Your faucet is now ready to use.
Temperature limit and safety:
Your thermostat faucet is equipped with a temperature limit. If it is set correctly, the safety button limits the
temperature range to a maximum of 40
°
C. This prevents scalding due to inattention. You can remove the block to
increase the temperature by pressing down the safety button.
