4. Operating Instructions
Operating your Delta Faucet SimpleSteam system is straightforward using the digital control.
4.1 How the System Works
- Steam Control: Use the digital control to adjust the temperature and turn the steam system on or off. The screen displays the current temperature of the shower area until it reaches your set temperature.
- Steam Generator: Coils inside the generator heat and boil water, producing steam. This steam is then sent through the steam head into the shower enclosure.
