Operating Instructions

The KOHLER 28210-NA Anthem Three-Port Digital Thermostatic Valve operates in conjunction with the KOHLER Anthem Digital Control (sold separately). All temperature and flow adjustments are made via the digital control interface or the KOHLER Konnect app.

1. Power On: Ensure the valve and digital control are powered on. The digital control display should illuminate.
2. Selecting Outlets: Use the digital control to select which of the three connected shower outlets you wish to activate. Each outlet can be controlled independently.
3. Temperature Adjustment: Adjust the desired water temperature using the controls on the Anthem digital interface. The digital thermostatic technology will maintain this temperature precisely.
4. Flow Adjustment: Adjust the water flow rate for each active outlet as desired.
5. Eco Mode: To conserve water, activate the optional Eco Mode. In this mode, only one outlet can be used at a time. Refer to your Anthem digital control manual for specific instructions on enabling Eco Mode.
6. KOHLER Konnect App: For enhanced features and personalized experiences, download and connect the KOHLER Konnect app to your Anthem system. This allows for remote control, preset shower experiences, and system updates.
7. Power Outage Behavior: In the event of a power outage, the valve will shut off for safety. It will resume normal operation once power is restored and the system is reactivated via the digital control.

For detailed operation of the digital control, please refer to the Instructions for Use (IFU) (PDF) for the Anthem Digital Control.

Maintenance

• Software Updates: If using the KOHLER Konnect app, ensure your system's software is up to date. Updates often include performance improvements and bug fixes.
