CLEANING
Before cleaning, turn off the unit at the isolation
switch, to avoid the shower being accidentally
switched on.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SHOWERHEAD
CLEAN TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE SHOWER. The hardness of the water
will determine the frequency of cleaning. For
example, if the shower is used every day in a
very hard water area, it may be necessary to
clean the showerhead on a weekly basis.
Sprayplate removal (white version)
Remove the showerhead from flexible hose.
Remove the spray cartridge by locating the
spray key provided into the spray cartridge
recesses and unscrew anti-clockwise (fig.36).
Remove the two small black ‘O’ ring seals from
the rear of the spray cartridge
(fig.37). Rinse
the ‘O’ rings clean. Scrub the spray cartridge
with a small stiff bristle brush (not wire bristles)
to remove limescale deposits (fig.38). Pay
particular attention to exterior grooves on the
spray cartridge.
DO NOT use a pin or similar to poke the holes
otherwise the efficiency of the shower spray will
be impaired. If necessary, immerse and soak the
sprayplate in a proprietory descalent overnight
to remove stubborn deposits.
Make sure all traces of scale have been removed
and thoroughly rinse in clean water afterwards
(fig.39). Brush and thoroughly clean the inside
of the showerhead and rinse out (fig.40).
Replace the two small black ‘O’ ring seals on
the rear of the spray cartridge
(fig.41). A light
smear of petroleum jelly on the ‘O’ ring seals
will ease the fit into their locating grooves.
Refit spray cartridge to showerhead and tighten
with spray key
(fig.42).
