5. Operating Instructions

The Hansgrohe Ecostat 13115000 features two extra-long handles for intuitive control of water flow and temperature.

• Flow Control: Use the handle on the right (typically) to adjust the water flow rate and to switch between the bath spout and hand shower outlets. Turn the handle to increase or decrease flow.
• Temperature Control: Use the handle on the left (typically) to set the desired water temperature. Rotate the handle to adjust. The safety stop at 40°C (104°F) prevents temperatures from exceeding this limit without intentional override. To exceed 40°C, press the safety button on the handle and continue rotating.
• Outlet Selection: The mixer is designed to run two outlets. The flow control handle allows you to select between the bath spout and a connected hand shower.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your thermostatic bath mixer.

• Cleaning: Clean the mixer regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaners containing alcohol, acids, or abrasive particles, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• QuickClean Technology: The mixer features QuickClean technology for easy limescale removal. Simply rub the silicone nozzles on the bath spout or hand shower (if connected) to dislodge limescale deposits.
• Filter Maintenance: Periodically check and clean the filters located in the S-connections to ensure unrestricted water flow.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your thermostatic bath mixer, consider the following common solutions:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect and clean the filters in the S-connections for blockages. Ensure your water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1 bar.
• Inconsistent Temperature: Verify that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected. If the temperature is not stable, the thermostat may need recalibration (refer to the detailed assembly instructions). Ensure sufficient hot water supply.
• Leaks: Check all connections for tightness. If leaks persist, professional assistance may be required.
• No Water: Confirm that the main water supply to your home is active. Check for any closed shut-off valves.

For persistent problems, contact a qualified plumber or Hansgrohe customer support.
