The Mira Event is one part of an entire plumbing system. The fitting of a pump
places additional requirements on the plumbing system. Some systems may require
plumbing modifications to allow them to cope with higher flow rates.
Providing the Mira Event has been correctly installed and is operated as advised,
difficulties should not arise. Fault diagnosis and maintenance must be carried out by
a competent person for whom the fault diagnosis table is provided.
In the event of any of the following tests failing, re-check as appropriate before
contacting the Caradon Mira Customer Support Department (Refer to Back Cover).
