Advice to Users

1.Electric showers work by taking in cold water and passing it over the heating elements contained in the tank inside the shower.

2.The showering temperature is adjusted by turning the temperature control knob, which varies the flow of cold water across the elements. The slower the rate of flow, the warmer the water, and vice versa. The holes in the spray plate of the shower handset should always be kept clean to maintain a consistent flow and stable shower temperatures.

3.The appliance is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water pressure fluctuations. These fluctuations can be caused by taps being turned on or off, or toilets being flushed. Under such conditions, average shower temperatures will be held within a 6°C range, provided that the minimum required pressure is maintained.

4.Seasonal changes in the temperature of the incoming cold water supply and/ or fluctuations in mains electrical voltage will effect the temperature of the water. Adjust the temperature knob as necessary to compensate.

5.The shower requires a minimum maintained/running pressure of 0.7 bar to operate. At pressures above 0.7 bar, the shower will minimise the temperature fluctuations caused when other draw-off points are used. If the flow rate drops below an acceptable level, the heating element inside the shower will turn off, resulting in a cold shower.

6.If the water temperature reaches an unsafe level, the thermal switch assembly turns off the heating elements. As the water temperature falls the elements will be turned on. The switch will cycle on/off/on if the flow rate is not increased and the temperature of the shower reduced.

7.Check the shower temperature before entering the shower. The previous user may have selected a different temperature setting.

8.When the shower is first turned on, or the temperature setting is changed, there will be a slight delay before the water temperature changes.
