5. Installation (Setup)
This shower set is designed for wall mounting. Professional installation is recommended. Ensure you have the necessary tools before starting (e.g., drill, wrench, level, sealant).
- Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off the main water supply. Clear the installation area and ensure the wall surface is clean and suitable for mounting.
- Mark Drilling Points: Position the shower bar against the wall at the desired height. Use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the drilling points for the wall mounting brackets.
- Drill Holes and Install Brackets: Drill holes at the marked points. Insert wall plugs (if necessary) and securely fasten the mounting brackets to the wall.
- Connect the Mixer: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the single-lever mixer. Ensure all connections are sealed properly with plumber's tape or sealant to prevent leaks.
- Mount the Shower Bar and Components: Attach the shower bar to the wall brackets. Install the overhead shower head onto the top arm of the shower bar. Connect the flexible hose for the handheld shower to the mixer and attach the handheld shower to its holder on the bar.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any leaks. Tighten connections as needed.
6. Operating Instructions
The IMEX DELOS BDD055 shower set features a single-lever mixer for controlling both water flow and temperature.
- Water Flow Control: Lift the lever upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to decrease or stop the flow.
- Temperature Control: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. Adjust the position to achieve your desired water temperature.
- Shower Head Selection: The shower set typically includes a diverter knob or button to switch water flow between the overhead shower and the handheld shower. Rotate or press the diverter to select your preferred shower outlet.
7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your brushed rose gold shower set.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the surface regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaners containing alcohol, ammonia, bleach, or phosphoric acid, as these can damage the brushed rose gold finish.
- Nozzle Cleaning: Periodically clean the nozzles of both shower heads to remove limescale buildup. Many modern shower heads feature flexible silicone nozzles that can be easily cleaned by rubbing them with your finger.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower set, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leakage | Loose connections, worn washers/seals. | Check and tighten all connections. Replace worn washers or seals. |
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged shower head nozzles, partially closed stopcock, debris in pipes. | Clean shower head nozzles. Ensure stopcocks are fully open. Consult a plumber if issue persists. |
| Inconsistent Water Temperature | Issues with water heater, mixer cartridge fault. | Check water heater settings. If the problem persists, the mixer cartridge may need replacement by a professional. |
