This document outlines the installation and usage of a shower panel, likely a thermostatic shower column with multiple spray functions and integrated controls.
Function Description
The device is a shower panel designed for wall mounting, offering various water outlets and temperature control. It features a main showerhead, a handheld shower, and body jets, providing a comprehensive showering experience. The panel incorporates a thermostatic mixer, allowing users to set and maintain a desired water temperature, typically with a safety stop at 38°C to prevent scalding. The different water outlets can be selected and controlled via rotary knobs on the panel.
Important Technical Specifications
- SKU: 142370+147716+142995-142996
- Batch Nr: 2000706033
- Power Source: Requires a 9V battery (not included) for certain functions, likely related to an LED display or specific electronic controls.
- Installation Dimensions: The mounting bracket requires specific spacing for screws (Fx4) and wall plugs (Hx2). The main mounting points for the panel are approximately 78cm apart vertically, with additional support points at 3cm and 3cm below the top mounting. The overall height of the panel suggests it's designed to cover a vertical span of approximately 90-110cm from the floor to the top of the panel.
- Water Connections: The panel connects to hot and cold water supplies. The installation diagrams show connections for water inlet pipes and an outlet for the handheld shower hose.
- Thermostatic Control: Features a thermostatic cartridge with a safety stop at 38°C. The temperature control knob allows adjustment from a cold setting (50°C) up to a maximum of 50°C, with the 38°C mark serving as a common default or safety limit.
- Shower Components:
- Main Showerhead (A): A rectangular, fixed overhead shower.
- Handheld Shower (B): A separate shower wand with a flexible hose.
- Body Jets (C): Integrated spray nozzles on the panel for a massage effect.
- Hose (D): A flexible hose, likely for the handheld shower, with a length of 1.5m.
- Shower Hose Connection (E): The connection point for the handheld shower hose.
- Mounting Brackets (G): Used to secure the panel to the wall.
- Wall Plugs (Hx2) and Screws (Fx4): Hardware for mounting.
Usage Features
- Temperature Control: The thermostatic mixer allows precise temperature setting. To adjust the temperature, the user typically rotates a knob. To exceed the 38°C safety stop, a button or mechanism must be pressed while turning the knob further (indicated by the "↓(1)" and "(2)" arrows in the temperature adjustment diagram, suggesting a push-and-turn action). This prevents accidental scalding.
- Water Outlet Selection: A separate rotary knob (C in the installation diagrams) is used to select between the different shower functions: main showerhead, handheld shower, and body jets.
- Handheld Shower: The handheld shower (B) can be removed from its holder (D) for flexible use and then returned.
- Easy Installation: The panel is designed for wall mounting using provided brackets and hardware. The installation process involves connecting water lines, securing the panel to the wall, and attaching the handheld shower hose.
- Battery-Powered Functionality: The 9V battery powers specific electronic features, which could include an LED display for temperature, a timer, or other smart functions.
Maintenance Features
- Battery Replacement: The device requires a 9V battery. The manual explicitly states that non-rechargeable batteries should not be recharged and that batteries must be inserted with the correct polarity. Exhausted batteries should be removed promptly. This implies that the battery compartment is accessible for replacement.
- Cleaning: While not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpts, shower panels typically require regular cleaning to prevent limescale buildup on nozzles and surfaces. The materials used (likely stainless steel or chrome-plated plastic) suggest standard bathroom cleaning practices.
- Thermostatic Cartridge Maintenance: Thermostatic mixers may occasionally require descaling or replacement of the cartridge if temperature control becomes erratic. The design suggests the internal components are serviceable, though specific instructions are not provided in these pages.
- Hose and Nozzle Maintenance: Hoses and shower nozzles may need periodic cleaning or replacement if they become clogged or damaged. The handheld shower (B) and its hose (D) are separate components, allowing for easier replacement if needed.
- Warning and Safety Instructions: The manual emphasizes personal safety, including correct battery insertion, removal of exhausted batteries, and avoiding short-circuiting supply terminals. These instructions are crucial for safe operation and longevity of the device.
