5. Operating Instructions
Your CASAINC Shower System is designed for intuitive operation, allowing you to easily switch between the rain shower head and the handheld spray, and control water temperature and flow.
5.1. Water Flow and Temperature Control
The main handle controls both water flow and temperature. Rotate the handle to adjust the temperature from cold to hot. Lift the handle to increase water flow, and push it down to decrease or turn off the flow.
5.2. Function Diverter
The smaller knob above the main handle is the diverter. Turn this knob to switch between the overhead rain shower head and the handheld spray. Ensure the water is flowing before switching functions to avoid sudden pressure changes.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CASAINC Shower System. The brushed nickel finish is designed to be durable and resistant to fingerprints.
6.1. Cleaning the Finish
- Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
6.2. Cleaning Shower Head Nozzles
The shower head features self-cleaning nozzles. To remove mineral deposits or clogs:
- Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any buildup.
- For stubborn deposits, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be used. Soak the shower head (if removable) or apply the solution to the nozzles for a few minutes before scrubbing and rinsing.
