Setup and Installation
- Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off the main water supply to your shower. Clear the area where the shower bar will be installed.
- Mark Drilling Points: Position the shower bar on the wall at the desired height. Use a pencil to mark the locations for the two wall mount brackets. The maximum distance between the holes is 61 cm. The mounting points are adjustable, allowing you to use existing drill holes if suitable.
- Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type, drill holes at the marked points. Insert the wall plugs into the drilled holes.
- Attach Wall Mount Brackets: Secure the wall mount brackets to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure they are firmly attached and level.
- Install Shower Bar: Slide the shower bar onto the secured wall mount brackets. Tighten any retaining screws to hold the bar in place.
- Connect Flexible Hose: Attach one end of the flexible hose to your shower mixer outlet and the other end to the RYCO shower head. Ensure sealing washers are correctly placed to prevent leaks. Hand-tighten connections, then use a wrench for a final snug fit, being careful not to overtighten. The hose features an anti-twist design.
- Mount Shower Head: Place the RYCO shower head into the adjustable holder on the shower bar. The holder can be adjusted up and down to suit different user heights.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections further.

Operating Instructions
The SENSEA RYCO shower head offers three distinct spray patterns for a personalized shower experience:
- Rain: A gentle, wide spray for a relaxing shower.
- Tonic: A more focused, invigorating spray.
- Massage: A powerful, pulsating spray for muscle relaxation.
To change the spray pattern, rotate the dial on the face of the shower head. The integrated flow regulator allows you to save up to 15% water compared to conventional shower heads and can temporarily interrupt or vary the water flow without changing the set temperature.
