Advice to Users
Note! Read the Important Safety Information section first.
DO NOT operate this appliance if water leaks from this appliance.
Warning! Do not switch on if there is a possibility that the water in the appliance
is frozen.
Warning! The shower head must be de-scaled regularly. Lack of regular shower
head cleaning will lead to poor performance and cause early failure of the appliance.
Refer to the Shower Fittings User Guide for more information.
1.
Electric showers work by taking in cold water and passing it over the heating
elements contained in the tank inside the shower.
2.
The showering temperature is adjusted by turning the temperature control knob,
which varies the flow of cold water across the elements. The slower the rate of
flow, the warmer the water, and vice versa. The holes in the spray plate of the
shower handset should always be kept clean to maintain a consistent flow and
stable shower temperatures.
3.
The appliance is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water
pressure fluctuations. These fluctuations can be caused by taps being turned
on or off, or toilets being flushed. Under such conditions, average shower
temperatures will be held within a 6 °C range, provided that the minimum required
pressure is maintained.
4.
Seasonal changes in the temperature of the incoming cold water supply and/or
fluctuations in mains electrical voltage will effect the temperature of the water.
Adjust the temperature knob as necessary to compensate.
5.
The shower requires a minimum pressure of 70 kPa (0.7 bar) to operate (100 kPa
(1 bar) is required for 10.8 kW). At pressures above 70 kPa (0.7 bar), the shower
will minimise the temperature fluctuations caused when other draw-off points
are used. If the flow rate drops below an acceptable level, the heating element
inside the shower will turn off, resulting in a cold shower.
6.
If the water temperature reaches an unsafe level, then the thermal switch will turn
off the heating element inside the shower. The heating element will be turned
back on when the water temperature drops. The thermal switch will cycle on/
off/on unless the flow rate is increased and the temperature of the shower is
reduced. This will result in a fluctuating shower temperature.
7.
Check the shower temperature before entering the shower. The previous user
may have selected a different temperature setting.
8.
When the shower is first turned on, or the temperature setting is changed, there
will be a slight delay before the water temperature changes.
