Operating Instructions

The Cool-Touch feature ensures that the surface of the thermostat remains cool to the touch, preventing accidental burns during use.
Note: While the thermostat maintains a set temperature, the indicated temperature on the control may not always precisely match the actual water temperature. Adjust to your comfort level.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your CORNAT PAR3 3094 Parla CT Thermostat.
- Cleaning the Finish: The polished chrome finish should be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome fixtures. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- General Care: Periodically check all connections for tightness to prevent leaks. If the water flow or temperature control becomes stiff, consult a professional plumber.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your thermostat, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Inaccurate Temperature Display | The thermostat maintains the set temperature, but the dial indication may not be exact. Adjust to your preferred comfort level rather than relying solely on the numerical display. |
| Difficulty Turning Handles | Mineral buildup or internal wear can cause handles to become stiff. Ensure hands are dry for better grip. If persistent, professional inspection may be required. |
| Initial Hot Water Surge After Pause | After pausing water flow, a brief surge of very hot water may occur upon restarting. Exercise caution and allow water to stabilize before stepping into the stream. |
| Water Leaks | Check all connections for tightness. If leaks persist, turn off the water supply and contact a qualified plumber. |
