InsTaLLaTIon suitable Plumbing systems gravity Fed: The thermostatic mixer must be fed from a cold water cistern (usually fitted in the loft space) and a hot water cylinder (usually fitted in the airing cupboard) providing nominally equal pressures. gas Heated system: The thermostatic mixer can be installed with a combination boiler.

Decide on a suitable position for the mixer. The position of the mixer and the shower fittings must provide a minimum gap of 25 mm between the spill-over level of the shower Hose retaining ring tray/bath and the handset (refer to illustration).
solid Wall Installation For solid wall installations the thermostatic bar valve can be supported by the pipework provided that it is securely fixed to the wall. Alternatively for unfixed rear entry pipework the wall mounting bracket can be used. For installation onto a stud partition, laminated panel, or onto unfixed rear-entry pipework (using the wall mounting bracket) refer to section: 'stud Partition, Laminated Panel, or Unfixed Rear-entry Pipework Installation'.

Caution! Make sure that the supply pipework is flushed before installing the bar valve. Sealing Washer assemble the bar valve with a sealing / Filter washer/filter in each inlet and attach to the offset connectors. note! Connections are: Hot-Left, Cold-right. Tighten the connections using a suitable spanner.
Stud Partition, Laminated Panel, or Unfixed Rear-entry Pipework Installation For all installations using the Wall Mounting Bracket: Install the pipework, make sure that 150 ± 24 mm it is set at the correct distance apart Pipe Centres in Wall (150 ± 24 mm) and solidly fixed. Screw the mounting brackets onto the offset connectors.

Tighten the offset connectors using a spanner on the spanner flats. Make sure that the connectors are level and set at the correct distance apart, using the bar valve as a guide to spacing. Fix the mounting bracket to the wall through the small hole, using the appropriate wall fixings for the type of wall (not supplied).
CoMMIssIonIng Maximum Temperature Setting Before using the shower, the maximum temperature must be checked to make sure that it is at a safe level. It has been preset to a safe showering temperature under ideal conditions at the factory, appropriate for most systems. However, site conditions and personal preference may make it necessary to reset this temperature.
oPeraTIon adjusting the Temperature The temperature is controlled by rotating the temperature selector knob. For safety reasons, the temperature is limited by an override stop. To obtain a higher temperature, press the override button on the temperature selector knob and continue to rotate the knob.
MaInTenanCe Fault Diagnosis If you require a Mira trained service engineer or agent, refer to section: ‘Customer services’. symptom Cause / Rectification only hot or cold water Inlets reversed (hot supply to cold supply). Rework inlet from the mixer outlet. pipework. outlet temperature too No hot or cold water reaching the mixer.
Lubricants Silicone based lubricants must only be used on the rubber seals. Caution! Oil based or other lubricant types may cause rapid deterioration of seals. Cleaning The chrome plated parts should be cleaned using a mild washing up detergent or soap solution, rinsed and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Our Service Force is available to provide a quality service Damage or defects arising from incorrect installation, at a reasonable cost. You will have the assurance of a Mira improper use or lack of maintenance, including build-up trained engineer/agent, genuine Mira spare parts and a of limescale.
