The Jacuzzi Mynima/Essteam shower enclosure is a sophisticated system designed for a comprehensive and luxurious showering experience, incorporating both manual and electronic functions. Available in 80Sphere, 90, 120, and 140 models, it caters to various preferences and bathroom sizes.
Function Description
The shower enclosure offers a range of functions, categorized into manual and electronic.
Manual Functions:
- Showerhead (Pos. E): This function provides various water jet forms and flow rates, adjustable by turning a selector to the corresponding symbol.
- Vertical Hydromassage (Pos. C and D): Equipped with simultaneous water jets (four upper and four lower) that emerge from nozzles on the wall panel, offering a targeted massage. These jets can be tilted in four directions by pressing the nozzle and moving it to the desired position.
- "Aqua Feeling" Showerhead (Pos. A): Positioned at the center of the crossbar, this showerhead delivers a wide rain-effect jet.
- "Enerjet" Showerheads (Pos. B): Located at both ends of the crossbar, these provide an adjustable water jet, both in direction and form.
Electronic Functions (available only on TT models):
- Steam Bath (Turkish Bath): This function generates steam for a relaxing and therapeutic experience. Essential oils can be used by pouring them directly into the steam outlet under the seat.
- Scale-Removal Cycle: A crucial maintenance function designed to prevent scale formation in the boiler. It uses a specific cleaning product to keep the boiler free from deposits.
- Alarm: An alert system that can be activated for various reasons, such as during the scale-removal cycle or in case of malfunctions.
Important Technical Specifications
- Steam Bath Temperature: Steam exits at approximately 100°C. Inside the shower enclosure, at full operating power and chest level, the temperature reaches about 45°C, assuming an initial room temperature of 20°C. In high ambient temperatures or during consecutive cycles (e.g., in fitness centers), the internal temperature can exceed 50°C.
- Water Temperature: The maximum temperature of mixed water should not exceed 60°C. Using water above 60°C can damage hydraulic circuits and increase the likelihood of scale formation.
- Scale-Removal Cycle Duration: The cycle lasts approximately 10 hours. During this time, the alarm function is available, but the steam bath is not. Water jet functions remain available.
- Boiler Cleaning: The scale-removal cycle should be run approximately once every 20 steam bath cycles to ensure thorough cleaning of the boiler.
- Water Pressure: The hydraulic system (hot/cold water) requires balanced pressures. Significant pressure differences can hinder correct and quick water temperature adjustment.
- Materials: The shower tray is made of "Techstone," a special synthetic resin. Glass panels are protected by "Crystal Clear" treatment to reduce scale and humidity marks.
Usage Features
- Temperature Adjustment: Before using any function, the water temperature should be set by turning the knob (M) until the notch aligns with the desired value. A safety lock prevents temperatures above 38°C; to exceed this, the button (P) must be pressed.
- Testing Water Temperature: To test the water temperature, turn the diverter dial (G) to the "showerhead" position and open the stop tap (R). Once the desired temperature is achieved, return the dial (G) to the position corresponding to the chosen function.
- Simultaneous Functions: It is possible to use two functions simultaneously by positioning the diverter dial halfway between the two function symbols (a "click" will be heard). For example, to use all massage jets, position the dial between symbols (C) and (D). This will result in a drop in hydraulic pressure and reduced performance of individual jets.
- Steam Bath Operation: Essential oils can be added to the steam outlet. To extract the outlet, pinch the two wing nuts inwards with thumb and forefinger and pull. The steam bath function lasts 40 minutes, but the recommended duration is 20 minutes. It can be switched off at any time by pressing the "I/O" button.
- Scale-Removal Cycle Initiation: To start the scale-removal cycle, prepare the liquid by mixing the powder sachet with approximately 0.75 liters of water. Press and hold button (3) for about 3 seconds; the LED will flash, indicating the start of the cleaning cycle. Pour the liquid into the opening in the side compartment of the fixture panel.
- Safety Precautions: Children should never be left unattended inside the shower enclosure, especially during the steam bath. Avoid placing legs in the path of the steam outlet or at least 40 cm away from the nozzles during a steam bath. Do not turn off the master switch for at least 2 minutes after the steam bath to allow boiler washing and emptying. Do not turn off the master switch until the scale-removal cycle has ended.
Maintenance Features
- Faucets, Aluminum Parts, Seat: After use, simply dry these components. For deeper cleaning, remove impurities with a cloth soaked in soapy water or neutral detergent, rinse with clean water, and dry. Do not use abrasive wipes, powdered detergents, acetone, or other solvents.
- Nozzles (Vertical Hydromassage), Showerheads, Hand Shower: These components feature an anti-limescale membrane that can be cleaned with a sponge. For general cleaning, follow the instructions for faucets.
- Shower Tray: Made of "Techstone," it can be cleaned by simply drying the surface after use. For stains, use a normal detergent or soapy water. For persistent stains, burns, or light scratches, use abrasive detergents, rubbing the affected areas with the rough side of a two-sided sponge in circular movements, then rinse carefully. Do not use sodium hypochlorite-based products (bleach, hydrochloric acid, etc.) or hydroxide-based products (caustic soda, etc.).
- Glass Panels: Protected by "Crystal Clear" treatment, they are easier to clean. After using the shower, rinse the glass panels with water and dry with a cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive pads, creamy, or powdered detergents. For stubborn dirt, use special scale-remover detergents. If water repellency diminishes over time, special products can be applied to restore this characteristic. For specific maintenance, contact a Jacuzzi® Service Centre.
- Thermostatic Valve Cleaning: The thermostatic valve has mesh filters to trap impurities. Over time, these filters can clog, reducing mixer performance. To clean, first turn off the hot and cold water supply to the shower enclosure. Drain water from the mixer unit by turning the diverter dial (S) to "4 bottom jets" and fully opening the stop tap (R), then closing it and returning the dial to its previous position. Remove the cap (T) from the mixer dial, then the screw (V) and the dial (M). Unscrew the cover (C) and remove the mixer dial (G). Extract the thermostatic valve (P). Clean the mesh filters with a small brush and rinse. If scale is present, use specific products. Reassemble components in reverse order, ensuring correct placement of the stop tap dial (R) and that the screw peg (Q) of the thermostatic valve faces downwards into the brass body groove.
For all maintenance and repair operations requiring component replacement, only original Jacuzzi® spare parts must be used to ensure the manufacturer's liability for any damage.
