Operating Instructions
Your Hansa Multi Function Shower System offers versatile control over your showering experience.
- Water Flow Control: Use the main handle or knob to turn the water on/off and adjust the flow intensity.
- Temperature Adjustment: Rotate the temperature control knob to achieve your desired water temperature. For safety, some models may have a temperature stop to prevent scalding.
- Diverter Function: The diverter knob or lever allows you to switch water flow between the overhead shower and the handheld shower. Turn it to the desired position.
- Handheld Shower Adjustment: The handheld shower head can be removed from its holder for targeted rinsing and can often be adjusted in height on the slide bar.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will preserve the appearance and functionality of your shower system.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome fixtures. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots.
- Cleaning Shower Heads: Periodically clean the nozzles of both the overhead and handheld shower heads to remove mineral deposits. Many shower heads feature flexible silicone nozzles that can be rubbed to dislodge buildup. For stubborn deposits, soak the shower head in a solution of white vinegar and water.
- Check for Leaks: Regularly inspect all connections for signs of leaks. Tighten connections as needed, but do not overtighten.
