Installation Considerations

For best results, Hansgrohe recommends that this unit be installed by a licensed, professional plumber.
Please read over these instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. Make sure that you have all tools and supplies needed to complete the installation.

The shut-off device is not a positive shutoff. Water will continue to trickle from the handshower when it is in the “off” position.

The shut-off function is for short-term use while showering. When finished showering, turn the water off at the valve.

To prevent scald injury, the maximum output temperature of the shower mixing valve (not included) must be no higher than 120°F (49°C). In Massachusetts, the maximum output temperature can be no higher than 112°F (44°C).
Keep this booklet and the receipt (or other proof of date and place of purchase) for this product in a safe place. The receipt is required should it be necessary to request warranty parts.

Cleaning Recommendation for Hansgrohe Products

Modern bathroom faucets, kitchen faucets and shower products are made from different materials to comply with the needs of the market with regard to design and functionality. To avoid damage to the product, it is necessary to take proper care of it.

For best results:

Prevent the buildup of mineral scale and /or soap residue by cleaning your Hansgrohe product(s) when needed.
Select a cleaning agent specifically intended for the type of product.
Do not use these types of cleaners as they will cause damage to your Hansgrohe product:
X Any cleaning agent containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid, lye, or acetic acid.

X Steam cleaners.
X “No rinse” cleaning agents.
Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the cleaning agent.
Do not mix cleaning agents, unless directed by the manufacturer.

Always rinse your Hansgrohe product thoroughly with clear water and polish dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.

Important
