Setup (Installation)
The MONDAWE shower set is designed for wall-mounted installation and uses American standard 1/2 inch NPT threads, compatible with most standard U.S. plumbing connections. Professional installation is recommended.
- Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall is properly prepared for plumbing and mounting the mixing valve.
- Install the Mixing Valve: Carefully install the brass water control mixing valve into the wall. Pay close attention to the depth of the valve to ensure it aligns correctly with the finished wall surface. The protective install plate may not always indicate the precise finished surface depth; independent verification is advised.
- Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the appropriate inlets on the mixing valve.
- Install Shower Arm and Head: Secure the 15.75-inch shower arm to the wall outlet and then attach the 10-inch square rainfall shower head.
- Install Tub Spout: Mount the bathtub spout to its designated wall connection.
- Install Handheld Shower Components: Attach the handheld shower holder to the wall. Connect the 59-inch shower hose to the mixing valve outlet and the handheld shower.
- Test for Leaks: Once all components are installed, slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Address any leaks immediately.
Operating Instructions
Your MONDAWE shower system features a multi-function mixer valve for easy control of water flow and output.
- Water Flow Control: The main handle on the mixing valve controls the water flow. Lift the handle up to turn on the water and increase flow, and push it down to decrease flow and turn off the water.
- Temperature Control: Rotate the main handle left for hot water and right for cold water to adjust the desired temperature.
- Function Diverter: The knob above the main handle is the diverter. Rotate this knob to select your desired water outlet: rainfall shower head, high-pressure handheld shower, or tub spout.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your shower system.
- Cleaning the Finish: To maintain the matte black finish, clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning Nozzles: The rainfall shower head and handheld shower are equipped with self-cleaning silicone jet nozzles. To remove calcium and lime build-up, simply wipe the nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth. This is particularly effective in areas with hard water.
- Hose Maintenance: Periodically check the shower hose for kinks or damage. Ensure it is free from twists to maintain proper water flow.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your shower system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Clogged nozzles; partially closed shut-off valve; debris in the system. | Clean the silicone nozzles by wiping them. Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Flush the system if debris is suspected. |
| Leaks from Connections | Loose connections; damaged O-rings or seals; incorrect thread sealant. | Tighten connections carefully. Inspect and replace any damaged O-rings or seals. Ensure proper use of plumber's tape or thread sealant. |
| Diverter Not Switching Functions | Internal debris; worn diverter cartridge. | Flush the system to remove debris. If the issue persists, the diverter cartridge may need inspection or replacement by a professional. |
