Troubleshooting
Water temperature is inconsistent
Check that your water pressure meets the minimum 1 Bar requirement. Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is not blocked by debris; clean the filter if necessary. Verify the maximum temperature setting during installation.
Low water flow from shower head or bath spout
Clean the dirt filter included with the mixer. Check for any kinks or blockages in the hoses connecting to the shower head or bath spout. Ensure your water pressure is adequate.
Safety stop at 40°C is not functioning
This is a critical safety feature. If it is not functioning correctly, discontinue use and consult the manufacturer's installation guide or contact customer support immediately. There may be an issue with the internal thermostatic mechanism.
Mixer leaks from connections
