Operating Instructions

Your hansgrohe Crometta Hand Shower offers two distinct spray patterns:

• Rain: A full, soft shower rain, ideal for rinsing shampoo.
• IntenseRain: A strong, invigorating spray, perfect for a refreshing start to the day.

Changing Spray Types: To switch between the Rain and IntenseRain spray patterns, simply turn the rotatable spray disc on the shower head. The hand shower's pivot connectors prevent the hose from tangling during use.

Adjusting Shower Holder: The slide inclination angle of the shower holder can be adjusted by 45 degrees, allowing you to position the hand shower for optimal comfort.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hansgrohe Crometta Shower Set.

• QuickClean Technology: The hand shower features hansgrohe QuickClean technology. To remove limescale deposits from the flexible silicone nozzles, simply rub them with your fingertips. This should be done regularly to maintain a consistent spray pattern.
• General Cleaning: Clean the shower set with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaners containing alcohol, hydrochloric acid, formic acid, chlorine bleach, or acetic acid, as these can damage the surfaces.
• Hose Care: Periodically check the shower hose for any signs of wear or damage. The anti-kink design helps prevent tangles and extends its life.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your hansgrohe Crometta Shower Set, consider the following common solutions:

• Reduced Water Flow: Check for limescale buildup in the shower head nozzles (use QuickClean). Ensure the water supply valve is fully open. Verify that the operating pressure is within the specified range (1-6 bar).
• Leaking Connections: Tighten all connections, ensuring that rubber seals are correctly seated and not damaged. Do not overtighten.
• Hose Kinking: The hose is designed to be anti-kink. If kinking occurs, check for improper installation or external obstructions.
• Difficulty Changing Spray: Ensure the spray disc is clean and free of debris that might impede its rotation.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact hansgrohe customer support or a qualified plumber.
