Power Settings:
- Cold: Water flows without heating.
- Economy (blue indicator): Uses one heating element for lower power consumption.
- High (red indicator): Uses all heating elements for maximum heat.
Power On Indicator (red): Lights up when electricity supply is switched on.
Low Pressure Indication (red flashing): Indicates insufficient water pressure, causing power to heating elements to switch off. The shower will operate on the COLD setting until adequate pressure is restored.
Phased Shutdown: After pressing the Start/Stop button, water continues to flow for a few seconds to flush out remaining hot water, preventing a slug of hot water for the next user.
Safety Cut-out: An over-temperature safety device that disconnects heating elements in case of abnormal operation causing unsafe temperatures.
User Maintenance: Cleaning the showerhead regularly with descalent is recommended to prevent scale and debris build-up, which can restrict flow and affect performance.

Maintenance Features:

Filter Cleaning: The inlet filter should be periodically cleaned to maintain performance. This involves switching off electricity and water supplies, removing the cover, unscrewing the filter cap, inspecting and cleaning the filter and 'O' ring, and reassembling.
