OPERATING FUNCTIONS
Power on indicator (fig.23)
When the electricity supply to the shower is
switched on at the isolating switch, the
POWER
indicator will light.
Low pressure indicator (fig.23)
If this indicator lights, this means the water
pressure has fallen below the minimum required
for correct operation of the shower, resulting in
the low pressure cut-out operating. This switches
off power to the heating elements preventing
any undue temperature rises (water will continue
to flow). Power will automatically be restored
when adequate water pressure returns.
Selector mode indicators (fig.23)
Next to each control button there is an
indicator that lights when the button is pressed,
indicating which shower mode is in operation.
Phased shutdown
In use, when the STOP button is pressed,
power is switched off to the elements. Water
will continue to flow for a few seconds, flushing
out any remaining hot water. This makes sure
the next immediate user will not receive a slug
of hot water if standing under the showerhead
when starting the shower.
Temperature limiter
During normal operation if an overheat
temperature is sensed, power to the elements
will be reduced. Water will continue to flow.
When the temperature has cooled sufficiently,
power to the elements will be automatically
restored to the previous setting at the time of
interruption.
Safety cut-out
The unit is fitted with a non-resettable
thermal cut-out safety device. In the event of
abnormal operation which could cause unsafe
temperatures within the unit, the device will
disconnect the heating elements. It will require a
visit from a qualified engineer to determine the
nature of the fault and replace the safety device,
once the unit has been repaired.
WARNING!
After any servicing of mains water
supply, always make sure the unit is
started on COLD in order to purge
any air in the pipework.
