Troubleshooting
Low water pressure from shower head or handset
Check the main water supply. Ensure the Anti-Calc nozzles are not blocked by limescale; try gently rubbing them. Verify that the 3-way diverter is fully engaged for the selected outlet.
Water drips from the spout when shower is in use
The 3-way diverter may not be fully sealing. Check for any obstructions in the diverter mechanism or consider professional servicing if the issue persists.
Difficulty controlling water temperature
Ensure the ceramic control valve is functioning correctly. If the water is consistently too hot or too cold, professional adjustment or servicing of the valve may be required.
Gold finish appears dull or discolored
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. If the discoloration is persistent, it may indicate an issue with the plating, and professional consultation is advised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This shower set requires concealed installation, meaning the main mixer valve is installed within the wall. It includes a concealed installation mixer, overhead shower, rain shower rail, bath spout, a 1500 mm hose, a handset, and a handset holder. Professional installation is recommended due to the concealed nature of the mixer.
Compatibility: The set is designed for standard plumbing connections. Ensure your water pressure is adequate for optimal performance of both the shower and bath functions. It is compatible with most standard water heating systems.
Care: To maintain the gold finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface. For the Anti-Calc nozzles, gently rub them with a dry cloth after use or use a mild descaling solution if necessary, following the general guidelines for ceramic valves.
