Troubleshooting
Water temperature is not consistent.
Verify that your water system meets the minimum 1 Bar pressure requirement. Check for any obstructions in the shower head or hoses. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is functioning correctly (refer to detailed manual if issues persist).
Low water flow from the shower head.
Check for blockages in the shower head filter or the connection hoses. Ensure the main water supply is adequate and the pressure meets the minimum requirement.
Safety stop (40°C) is not engaging or is engaging too early.
This may indicate an issue with the thermostatic cartridge. Consult the product manual for specific reset procedures or contact customer support for assistance.
