The system allows for a reduction of flow rate by up to 30% if desired, contributing to water conservation.
3.3 SafetyStop Feature
For enhanced safety, hot water is released only after pressing a dedicated SafetyStop button. This prevents accidental scalding, especially important for households with children.
Figure 6: The SafetyStop feature ensures safe temperature increase by requiring a button press to exceed 40°C.
3.4 Rotatable Bath Spout
The flat bath spout can be easily folded away when not in use, providing more space in your bathtub area.

4. Maintenance
To maintain the brilliant chrome finish and ensure optimal performance of your Hansgrohe ShowerTablet Select 400, follow these cleaning guidelines:
4.1 Cleaning the Surface
- Use only mild cleaning agents specifically designed for bathroom fixtures.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
4.2 CoolContact Technology
The CoolContact technology ensures that the surface of the thermostat remains pleasantly cool during operation, preventing accidental burns. This also contributes to easier cleaning as mineral deposits are less likely to bake onto a cool surface.

5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your bath thermostat.
5.1 Low Water Flow or Pressure
- Check water supply: Ensure main water valves are fully open.
- Clean aerator/spout: Mineral deposits can restrict flow. Carefully remove and clean the aerator or spout opening.
- Inspect supply lines: Kinks or blockages in the supply lines can reduce pressure.
5.2 Inconsistent Water Temperature
- Verify hot water supply: Ensure your water heater is functioning correctly and providing sufficient hot water.
- Recalibrate thermostat: If the temperature is consistently too hot or cold, the thermostat may need recalibration. Consult a qualified plumber or the detailed installation instructions for this procedure.
- Check SafetyStop: Ensure the SafetyStop button is pressed if you intend to exceed the preset temperature limit.
5.3 Leaks from Connections
- Tighten connections: Gently tighten the S-connectors and other connections. Do not overtighten.
- Check seals: Ensure all gaskets and O-rings are properly seated and not damaged. Replace if necessary.
5.4 Unusual Noise During Operation
- The thermostat features a built-in silencer to reduce flow noise. If unusual or excessive noise occurs, check for loose pipes or obstructions in the water lines.
- High water pressure can sometimes cause noise. Consider installing a pressure reducer if your household water pressure is consistently high.
