Operating Instructions

The Hansgrohe MyFox thermostatic mixer tap offers precise control over water temperature and flow.

Temperature Control:

• The right handle controls the water temperature. Rotate it to adjust the temperature.
• The tap features a SafetyStop function, which prevents temperature selections above 40°C (104°F) by default. To exceed 40°C, you must press a button on the handle while rotating it. This feature helps prevent accidental scalding.
• A separate safety function allows you to preset a desired maximum temperature for added safety.
• The thermostatic element quickly compensates for temperature or pressure deviations, ensuring a consistent water temperature.

• The selector for shower or bath is integrated into this handle, allowing you to switch between the bath spout and a connected shower head.
• The EcoStop function allows for water savings of up to 50% by providing a reduced flow rate option, promoting responsible water and energy use.
