User Instructions Turn the temperature control knob to change the tem- perature. Turn it clockwise to make the water cooler, counter-clockwise to make the water warmer.

Cleaning the Handshower The handshower uses the Rubit™ cleaning system. If scale deposits are noticed in the spray channels, rub across the channels with a finger or a sponge to dislodge them. If necessary, pour about 3/4” of a commercial scale remover, such as Lime-Away or CLR, into a shallow dish.
