Operating Instructions
Your GROHE Vitalio Comfort 110 Hand Shower offers three distinct spray patterns, easily selectable via the innovative GROHE SmartSwitch dial diverter located on the back of the shower head.
- Rain Spray: Provides a soft, delicate spray pattern, mimicking natural rainfall for a soothing experience.
- Jet Spray: Delivers a strong, focused stream, ideal for invigorating showers or for rinsing hair thoroughly. This powerful spray can also be used for cleaning the shower area.
- Massage Spray: Features a pulsating water flow designed to relieve tension in muscles, particularly in the head, neck, and shoulders.
To switch between spray patterns, simply turn the GROHE SmartSwitch dial on the rear of the shower head to your desired setting.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GROHE Vitalio Comfort 110 Hand Shower.
- Cleaning the Finish: The GROHE Long-Life finish is durable and easy to clean. Use a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for bathroom fixtures. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or solvents, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Limescale Removal (SpeedClean): The shower features GROHE SpeedClean silicone nozzles. To remove limescale and dirt, simply wipe the nozzles with your finger or a soft brush. This flexible material allows for easy dislodging of mineral deposits.
- ShockProof Protection: The integrated ShockProof silicone ring protects the hand shower from damage if accidentally dropped, and also safeguards your shower tray or bathtub.

- Leaking Connections:
