Temperature Control:

• The integrated ShowerTablet 600 thermostat allows you to set and maintain your desired water temperature.
• Turn the temperature control knob (typically on the right) to adjust the water temperature. The thermostat will quickly regulate to prevent sudden changes in temperature, even with pressure fluctuations.
• A safety stop is usually present at 38°C (100.4°F) to prevent accidental scalding. Press the override button to exceed this temperature.

Water Flow and Jet Type Selection:

• Use the flow control knob (typically on the left) to turn the water on/off and adjust the intensity.
• To switch between the overhead shower and the hand shower, use the diverter function on the flow control knob or a dedicated button, depending on your specific model configuration.
• For the hand shower, press the Select button on the shower head itself to cycle through the three available jet types:
  • RainAir: A soft, air-enriched rain spray.
  • Gentle Rain: A fine, soft rain spray.
  • Whirl Massage Jet: A concentrated, rotating spray for massage.
• The hand shower holder can be adjusted by 90° tilt and swiveled horizontally and vertically along the riser for optimal positioning.

5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hansgrohe Raindance E 300 Showerpipe.

Cleaning the Shower Heads (QuickClean):

• Both the overhead and hand showers are equipped with hansgrohe's QuickClean function.
• To remove limescale deposits from the silicone nozzles, simply rub them gently with your finger. This dislodges the limescale, restoring the spray pattern.

General Cleaning:

• Clean the chrome surfaces and the ShowerTablet shelf with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or cleaners containing acids, alcohol, or chlorine, as these can damage the finish.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your hansgrohe Raindance E 300 Showerpipe, please review the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Water Flow or Low Pressure:
  • Check if the main water supply to your bathroom is open.
  • Ensure the flow control knob on the thermostat is fully open.
  • Clean the shower nozzles using the QuickClean function to remove any limescale blockages.
  • Inspect the shower hose for kinks or damage.
• Inconsistent Water Temperature:
  • Verify that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and functioning.
  • Ensure the thermostat is set to the desired temperature.
  • If the issue persists, the thermostat cartridge may require calibration or replacement by a qualified professional.
• Leaking:
  • Check all connections for tightness. Do not overtighten.
  • Inspect seals and O-rings for wear or damage.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact hansgrohe customer support or a qualified plumber.
