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