4. Operating Instructions
The WELLFOR shower system features a thermostatic mixing valve and a 3-function diverter for precise control.
4.1. Temperature Control (Thermostatic Valve)
- The main knob controls the water temperature. Rotate it to adjust.
- The valve is preset to 38°C (100°F) for safety. To increase the temperature beyond 38°C, press and hold the safety override button on the knob while rotating it to the desired hotter setting.
- The thermostatic valve maintains a stable water temperature, preventing sudden changes due to pressure fluctuations.

4.2. Water Flow and Diverter Functions
- The three smaller knobs above the temperature control are the 3-function diverters.
- Each knob controls a specific shower outlet: Rainfall Shower, and Hand Shower.
- Rotate each knob to turn on/off or adjust the flow to the corresponding shower function. Multiple functions can be active simultaneously.
- The flow rate for each function is adjustable.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your shower system.
- Cleaning: Clean the shower head, hand shower, and control panel regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Silicone Nozzles: The rainfall shower head and hand shower feature easy-clean silicone nozzles. Periodically rub these nozzles to dislodge any mineral buildup and maintain consistent water flow.
- Thermostatic Valve: If temperature consistency issues arise, consult a professional plumber to inspect the thermostatic cartridge for mineral buildup or wear.
