5. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing the kielle Oudee Thermostatic Shower Set. Professional installation is highly recommended.
5.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Water Supply: Ensure hot and cold water supply lines are available at the installation point. The thermostatic mixer requires both.
- Wall Preparation: The installation surface must be clean, flat, and structurally sound to support the weight of the shower set.
- Tools Required: Gather necessary tools such as a drill, level, measuring tape, wrench, screwdriver, and sealant.
5.2 Installation Steps
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve and turn off the water supply to the bathroom.
- Mount the Thermostatic Mixer:
- Mark the desired height for the mixer on the wall.
- Install the eccentric connectors into the wall water outlets, ensuring they are level and at the correct distance for the mixer.
- Attach the thermostatic mixer to the eccentric connectors, using sealing washers and tightening securely.
- Install the Riser Rail:
- Position the riser rail above the mixer and mark the drilling points for the wall brackets.
- Drill holes, insert wall plugs, and secure the brackets to the wall.
- Attach the riser rail to the brackets.
- Attach the Overhead Shower Head:
- Connect the overhead shower arm to the top of the riser rail.
- Attach the 260mm overhead shower head to the shower arm. Ensure all connections are sealed.
- Connect the Hand Shower and Hose:
- Connect one end of the shower hose to the outlet on the thermostatic mixer.
- Connect the other end of the hose to the hand shower.
- Place the hand shower in its adjustable holder on the riser rail.

6. Operating Instructions
The kielle Oudee Thermostatic Shower Set is designed for ease of use and precise temperature control.
6.1 Temperature Control
- The thermostatic mixer features a single handle for temperature adjustment.
- Rotate the handle to the left for hotter water and to the right for colder water.
- Most thermostatic mixers have a safety stop (often at 38°C / 100°F) to prevent accidental scalding. To exceed this temperature, you typically need to press a button or override the stop while turning the handle further.
6.2 Water Flow and Outlet Selection
- The mixer also controls the water flow and switches between the overhead shower and the hand shower.
- Typically, a diverter knob or button on the mixer allows you to select the desired water outlet.
- Overhead Shower: Provides a wide, rain-like spray for a full body shower experience.
- Hand Shower: Offers flexibility for targeted rinsing. The hand shower features 3 distinct jet functions. These can usually be selected by rotating the spray plate or pressing a button on the hand shower head.
- SilkFlow: A gentle, soft spray for a relaxing experience.
- MistFlow: A fine, invigorating mist spray.
- Standard Spray: A powerful, focused spray for effective rinsing.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your kielle Oudee shower set.
- Cleaning the Chrome Finish:
- Use a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome finishes.
- Wipe the surfaces gently and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Do not use: Abrasive sponges, scouring pads, harsh detergents, acid-based cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the chrome.
- Cleaning Shower Heads:
- Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in the nozzles of the shower heads.
- Many modern shower heads feature flexible silicone nozzles that can be easily cleaned by gently rubbing them with your finger to dislodge deposits.
- For more stubborn deposits, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used. Soak the shower head (if detachable) or spray the solution onto the nozzles, let it sit for a short period, then rinse thoroughly.
- Thermostatic Cartridge: If you notice inconsistent temperature control, the thermostatic cartridge may need cleaning or replacement. This should be done by a qualified plumber.
