5. Operating Instructions
The MFLASMF Concealed Shower System features a single control valve for water flow, temperature, and diverter functions.
Figure 5.1: Close-up of the matte black control valve, showing the main handle for temperature and flow, and the diverter knob for selecting shower functions.
- Water Flow and Temperature: The main handle controls both water flow and temperature. Rotate the handle to adjust the temperature (typically 'H' for hot, 'C' for cold) and pull it outwards to increase flow.
- Diverter Function: The smaller knob on the valve acts as a diverter. Rotate this knob to switch water flow between the 10-inch rain shower head, the handheld shower, and the tub spout.
- Self-Cleaning Nozzles: The rain shower head features soft silicone jets that prevent limescale buildup. Gently rub the nozzles with your finger to dislodge any mineral deposits.
6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MFLASMF Shower System.
- Cleaning the Finish: Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water to clean the matte black finish. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or any products containing bleach or alcohol, as these can damage the finish.
- Nozzle Maintenance: Periodically rub the silicone nozzles on the rain shower head to remove any mineral deposits and maintain consistent spray patterns.
- Check for Leaks: Regularly inspect all connections for any signs of leaks and address them promptly.
