Operation
Temperature Control
The thermostatic mixer allows you to set and maintain a desired water temperature. Rotate the main handle to adjust the temperature. The safety lock at 40°C (104°F) prevents the temperature from being accidentally set too high. To exceed this temperature, a button on the handle must be pressed while rotating past the safety stop.
Outlet Selection (hansgrohe Select)
This mixer is designed for two outlets. To switch between the outlets, simply press the corresponding Select button. Pressing the button will activate or deactivate the specific outlet. This allows for intuitive control, even with soapy hands.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your hansgrohe ShowerSelect S mixer, follow these guidelines:
- Clean the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Avoid using cleaners containing acids, chlorine, or abrasive particles, as these can damage the finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your thermostatic mixer, consider the following:
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: Check the hot and cold water supply lines for adequate pressure. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is not obstructed by debris.
- Low Flow Rate: Verify that the main water supply is fully open. Check for any blockages in the water lines or the mixer itself.
- Difficulty Switching Outlets: Ensure the Select buttons are not obstructed and are operating freely.
For complex issues or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, it is recommended to contact a qualified plumber or hansgrohe customer support.
