Operating Instructions
Your Cornat TECBE3302 shower system offers versatile showering options:
Diverter Function

Overhead Shower Head
- Jet Type: Provides a uniform and rich normal jet.
- Adjustable Tilt: The shower head can be tilted to your preferred angle using the smooth-running ball joint.

Hand Shower
The hand shower offers three distinct jet types, easily changed with a one-handed push button:
- Normal Jet: Uniform and rich water flow.
- Spray Jet: Dynamic water jets from individual nozzles.
- Normal/Spray Jet: A combination of both jet types.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your shower system.
- Cleaning the Nozzles: Both the overhead shower head and hand shower feature anti-limescale silicone nozzles. To remove limescale deposits, simply rub the nozzles with your fingers. This helps maintain an even jet pattern.
- Surface Cleaning: Clean the black matte finish with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface.
- Hose Care: Periodically check the shower hose and connection hose for any signs of wear or damage.
