TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Temperature limiter:
• All hospital mixers are fitted with the maximum temperature limiter pre-set at the factory.
For the UK and Ireland we recommend installing an appropriate, approved thermostatic mixing valve
(TMV) to provide safe, anti-scald hot water.
Where thermostatic mixing valves are installed the temperature limiter
MUST BE REMOVED from all point-of-use mixers.
• Recommended maximum temperature settings for UK healthcare applications are: bidets 38°C,
washbasins and showers 41°C. For all other countries please refer to the relevant hot water safety guidelines.
Adjusting the mixed water temperature limiter:
To adjust the pre-set maximum temperature, unclip and reposition the index ring located
beneath the control lever.
• The position of the index ring will limit the water temperature at the mixer outlet.
• To access the cartridge (Fig. E), remove the control lever by removing the cover cap a,
unscrew the grub screw b using a 2.5mm Allen key, and unscrew the collar c from the mixer body.
• To change the hot water (HW) setting (Fig. F-1), unclip the index ring a and turn clockwise to lower
the temperature, or anti-clockwise to increase it. Replace the index ring and check the temperature
at the mixed water outlet to achieve the desired maximum temperature.
• To return to the maximum hot water position (Fig. F-2), align the marker on the index ring b
with the marker on the cartridge c.
• For model 2538, change the hot water setting as follows: unclip the index ring a
from its initial setting (Fig. F-1) and turn anti-clockwise to reduce the hot water temperature,
or clockwise to increase the temperature.
MAINTENANCE
• Check the operation of the pressure-balancing cartridge and the anti-scalding safety at least
once a year, and more frequently if necessary. In case of malfunction, replace the cartridge.
• Non-return valves and filters must be checked at least once a year and more often if the water quality
necessitates. In the event of malfunction, de-scale or replace worn or damaged parts.
Note: In the event of a leak on the mixers with swivel spouts, replace the 2 waterproof lip seals.
CLEANING & SERVICING
• Cleaning chrome: Do not use abrasive, chlorine or any other acid-based cleaning products.
Clean with mild soapy water using a cloth or a sponge.
• Frost protection: Drain the pipes and operate the mixer several times to drain any remaining water.
REMEMBER:
• Our mixers/taps must be installed by professional installers in accordance with current regulations
and recommendations in your country, and the specifications of the fluid engineer.
• Sizing the pipes correctly will avoid problems of flow rate, pressure loss and unwanted noise.
• Protect the installation with filters, water-hammer absorbers and pressure reducers to reduce
the frequency of maintenance.
• Install stopcocks close to the mixer to facilitate maintenance.
• The pipe work, stopcocks, bib taps and all sanitary fittings should be checked at least once a year,
and more frequently if necessary.
