Operating Instructions

Water Temperature Control

The thermostat fitting allows for precise temperature control. Use the temperature selection handle to set your desired water temperature. The integrated hot water lock at 38°C prevents accidental scalding. To exceed 38°C, you must consciously override this safety feature by pressing a button or turning past a stop on the handle.

Water Flow and Jet Type Selection

The hand shower offers three distinct jet types:

• Normal Jet: Provides an even and consistent water flow for daily rinsing.
• Soft Jet: Air-enriched for a noticeably softer and gentler water experience.
• Massage Jet: A pressurized jet with a massage function, designed to promote physical regeneration and relaxation.

To change the jet type, rotate the selector on the hand shower. The water flow can be adjusted using the flow control handle on the thermostat fitting.

Adjusting Hand Shower Height

The hand shower holder on the wall bar is infinitely adjustable. Simply slide the holder up or down the bar to set the desired height for comfortable use. The slider control makes it easy to adjust and secure the hand shower in place.

Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Cornat Shower System.

Cleaning the Surfaces

• Clean chrome-plated surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for bathroom fixtures.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the high-gloss finish.
• Do not use: Abrasive sponges, scouring pads, harsh chemicals, acid-based cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the chrome finish.

Descaling the Hand Shower Nozzles

The hand shower is equipped with flexible silicone nozzles for easy descaling. To remove limescale buildup:

• Simply rub the silicone nozzles with your fingers to dislodge any limescale deposits.
• For stubborn deposits, you may use a soft brush or a mild descaling solution, ensuring it is safe for chrome and silicone.
• Regular descaling ensures an unobstructed and full water beam.
