ADVICE TO USERS

Advice to users
IMPORTANT: The unit must be mounted on
a flat surface which covers the full width
and length of the backplate. It is important
I-002-A
that the wall surface is flat otherwise
difficulty may be encountered when fitting
the cover and subsequent operation of the
unit may be impaired.
The following points will help you understand
how the shower operates:
a. The electric heating elements operate at a
constant rate at your chosen power setting. It is the
rate of the water passing through the heater can
which determines the water temperature. (The
slower the flow, the hotter the water becomes; the
faster the flow, the cooler the water).
b. During winter the mains water supply will be
cooler than in the summer, so the flow rate will
vary between seasons at any one temperature
setting. At different times of the year you may
have to adjust the position of the temperature
control to maintain your desired temperature
setting.
c. The stabiliser valve minimises variations in
shower temperature during mains water pressure
changes. If changes in shower temperature are
experienced during normal use, it will most
likely be caused by the water pressure falling
near to or below the minimum level. The drop
in pressure may be due to water being drawn
off at other points in the house whilst the
shower is in use. If pressure drops appreciably
below the minimum, the heating elements will
automatically cut out.
If ever the water becomes too hot and you
cannot obtain cooler water, first check that the
sprayplate in the showerhead has not become
blocked.
DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo
bottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seep
through the joint between the cover and
backplate, and possibly damage the sealing
rubber.
