Instrukcja obsługi

The Backnets Thermostatic Shower Valve offers precise control over water flow and temperature, ensuring a comfortable and safe showering experience.

Figure 3: Control Functions. This image highlights the three main control functions: Push Button for ON/OFF, Non-Slip Design Flow Control, and Temperature Lock set at 100°F.

Kontrola temperatury

• The thermostatic shower valve features a dedicated temperature control knob.
• To adjust the temperature, rotate the lower knob. The valve is designed to precisely set the temperature at 100°F (38°C) to prevent scalding.
• For temperatures above 100°F, you may need to press a safety override button (if present on your specific trim kit) while rotating the knob.
• This constant temperature protection ensures a stable water temperature, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments.

Figure 4: Constant Temperature Protection. This graphic demonstrates how the thermostatic cartridge maintains a consistent 100°F water temperature, preventing sudden changes and scalding.

Flow Control and Diverter Function

• The valve features a 2-way diverter, allowing you to easily control water output to two different shower functions (e.g., overhead shower and handheld spray).
• To turn the water ON or OFF for a specific outlet, press the corresponding push button.
• To adjust the water flow (volume) for an active outlet, rotate the flow control knob. Turning it clockwise typically increases flow, and counter-clockwise decreases it.
• Both functions can be used simultaneously, allowing for flexible showering options.

Figure 5: Simultaneous Functionality. This image demonstrates how to activate and adjust two shower functions concurrently using the push buttons for ON/OFF and rotary knobs for volume control.
