5. Operating Instructions

Your Schulte shower cabin features a multi-functional shower column for a customized showering experience.

5.1 Water Flow and Temperature Control

• Use the mechanical mixer tap on the shower column to adjust water temperature and flow. Turn the handle to select desired temperature (typically left for hot, right for cold).
• The other control knob allows you to divert water flow to the overhead shower, hand shower, or massage jets.

5.2 Shower Functions

• Overhead Shower: Select this function for a wide, rain-like spray.
• Hand Shower: Detach the hand shower from its holder. Adjust the spray pattern by rotating the shower head or pressing a button (depending on the model) to cycle through the 3 available jet types.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your shower cabin.

6.1 Cleaning Glass Surfaces

• Clean glass panels regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner.
• For stubborn water spots, use a vinegar-based solution (diluted) and rinse thoroughly.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or scouring powders, as these can scratch the glass or damage the black finish of the profiles.

6.2 Cleaning Profiles and Fixtures

• Wipe down black profiles, the shower column, and other fixtures with a soft, damp cloth.
• Use a mild soap solution if necessary, then rinse and dry to prevent water spots.
• Periodically check and clean the nozzles of the overhead shower, hand shower, and massage jets to remove limescale buildup. Many modern shower heads have flexible silicone nozzles that can be easily cleaned by rubbing them.

6.3 Drainage System

• Regularly clean the shower tray and drain cover to prevent hair and soap scum buildup, which can lead to blockages.
• Ensure the drainage system is free of obstructions for efficient water evacuation.
