5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Temperature Control (ExactTemp Valve)

• The main lever handle controls the water temperature. Rotate the handle to adjust the temperature to your desired setting.
• The ExactTemp valve maintains a consistent water temperature, even with fluctuations in water pressure from other household fixtures.

5.2 Water Flow Control (Volume Controls)

• Each of the four smaller lever handles controls the on/off function and water volume for a specific shower component (rainshower, handheld, or individual body sprays).
• Turn a handle to the ON position to activate the corresponding shower component. Continue turning to increase water volume.
• Turn a handle to the OFF position to stop water flow from that component.
• You can use multiple components simultaneously, adjusting their individual volumes as desired.

5.3 Handheld Shower Adjustment

• The handheld shower can be removed from its holder on the slide bar for flexible use.
• Adjust the height of the handheld shower by pressing the release button on the holder and sliding it up or down the bar.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Moen Vertical Spa Kit's brushed nickel finish.

• Clean the finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes containing alcohol, ammonia, bleach, or abrasive agents, as these can damage the finish.
• Regularly clean the nozzles of the shower heads and body sprays to prevent mineral buildup. Many Moen shower heads feature rubber nozzles that can be easily wiped clean.
