Operating Instructions

The Ecostat S Thermostatic Mixer provides precise control over water temperature.

Temperature Control:

• Rotate the temperature handle to adjust the water temperature.
• The integrated safety stop is set at 40°C (104°F) to prevent accidental scalding. To exceed this temperature, you must consciously override the safety stop by pressing a button or turning the handle past the stop point (refer to the specific product diagram for your model).

Flow Rate:

The flow rate of the mixer is dependent on the water pressure. This model is designed for a flow rate of up to 37 liters per minute (l/min) at 3 bar pressure.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Hansgrohe Ecostat S Thermostatic Mixer, follow these maintenance guidelines:
