10. the appliance Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision GENERAL ADVICE TO USERS The following points will help you understand how the shower operates a The electric heating elements operate at a constant rate at your chosen power setting It is the rate of the water passing through the heater can which determines the water temperature The slower the flow the hotter the water becomes the faster the flow the cooler the water b During winter the mains water supply will be cooler than in the summer The flow rate will vary between seasons at any one temperature setting At different times of the year you may have to adjust the position of the temperature control to maintain your desired temperature setting c The stabiliser valve minimises variations in shower temperature during mains water pressure changes If changes in shower temperature are experienced during normal use it will most likely be caused by the water pressure falling near to or below the minimum level The drop in pressure may be due to water being drawn off at other points in the house whilst the shower is in use If pressure drops appreciably below the minimum the heating elements will automatically cut out NOTE f ever the water becomes too hot and you cannot obtain cooler water first check that the sprayplate in the showerhead has not become blocked DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo bottles
