cleaner may be used on external surfaces
of the handset. Rub-clean showerheads
may be rubbed lightly to remove scale as
required. Over time build-up of limescale
requires the showerhead to be cleaned
more thoroughly, as follows.
1) Use a liquid non-abrasive bathroom
cleaner on external surfaces of the
handset.
2) Engage the key into the spray cartridge
recesses and turn anti-clockwise to
unscrew.
3) Remove the two small black 'O' rings
from the rear of the spray cartridge,
and rinse the 'O' rings clean.
4) Brush the spray plate with a stiff bristled
brush, if necessary immerse and soak
the spray plate for several hours in a
proprietary limescale remover. Rinse off
all traces of limescale and limescale
remover from the showerhead.
5) Replace the two black 'O' rings on the
rear of the spray cartridge and refit the
cartridge to the showerhead tightening
with the key.'
SECTION 6
Trouble shooting
Before calling our customer service
department please use the table to
determine likely causes of the problem:
NOTE Under normal operation the shower
heats the water as it passes through the
unit. The temperature of the water is
affected by the temperature of the water
in the mains cold water supply and the

speed with which the water flows through
the unit. It is therefore normal for the water
coming out of the shower to change
temperature through summer and winter
months where the mains water
temperature changes. It is also normal
for the water temperature to vary when
other water appliances are being use in
the home as these vary the water flow to
the shower unit. Do not under any
circumstances cover the showerhead
or prevent or restrict water leaving the
showerhead or unit. It is important to keep
the showerhead clean, removing all lime
scale and any other dirt blocking the
holes of the showerhead. The showerhead
must be cleaned as described in section
5 'looking after your shower'.
SECTION 7
Maintenance
Disconnect from mains electricity supply
before removing front cover.
All maintenance should only be carried
out by a qualified service engineer.
