KOHLER Mira Beat and Nectar Shower Fittings Instruction Manual

These instructions must be left with the user

Overview

Mira Beat

Mira Nectar

GENERAL

Make sure that the shower fittings are installed by a competent installer.
Installations must comply with Water Regulations (Bye-Laws, Scotland), and any other Local Regulations and Building Regulations in force at the time of installation.
The shower fittings should be positioned at a convenient height for all the family. Position the fittings to spray across rather than towards the opening of the cubicle and also away from the shower control. Avoid layouts where the shower hose willbe sharply kinked. This may reduce the life of the hose.
A hose retaining ring is supplied to prevent the showerhead from dropping below the spill over level of the bath or shower, which could lead to contamination from back-siphonage.
The position of the shower and shower fittings must provide a minimum gap of 25 mm between the showerhead and the spill over level of any bath, shower tray or basin and 30 mm between the showerhead and the spill over level of any toilet or bidet.
Do not fit any form of flow control in the outlet pipe work if the shower fittings are installed in conjunction with a product that requires the fittings to act as a vent (e.g. an electric shower).
Wall screws and wall plugs are supplied with this product.
Special consideration should be given to the fixing arrangements when installing onto a dry lined, stud partition, shower cubicle or laminated panel wall structures. Installers may wish to obtain alternative proprietary cavity fixings, or choose other options, however, these methods of fixing are beyond the scope of this guide.

INSTALLATION

We recommend that the slide bar is installed with the ends flush. Mark the wall fixing positions and drill two holes to suit the wall fixings.
Caution! Do not drill into cables or pipes in the wall.
Note! For new installation optimum fixing centres 630 mm.
Replacement installation fixing centres 630 mm maximum.
Install the wall plugs and the mounting brackets and secure with the wall screws.
Note! Check for vertical alignment before tightening. The mounting brackets are slotted to aid this alignment. Then fully tighten.
Install the clamp bracket, the hose retaining ring and the slide bar supports to the slide bar.
Make sure that the wall screws are flush with the inside edge of the mounting brackets.
Fit the slide bar supports over the mounting brackets, then adjust the slide bar vertically ensuring an equal length of slide bar protrudes from the top and bottom mounting bracket (or flush with the end of the slide bar for new installations).
Remove the slide bar assembly carefully, preventing any further movement between the slide bar and the slide bar supports.
Tighten the two slide bar clamping screws no more than half a turn to secure the slide bar supports to the slide bar.
Caution! Overtightening these screws will cause damage.
Install the slide bar assembly onto the mounting brackets.
Tighten the 2 x M4 screws with the supplied 3 mm hexagonal key.
Caution! Do not force assembly on to the mounting brackets, re-align a slide bar support if required.

Hose and Showerhead Installation

Fit a hose seal into the conical nut and screw onto the outlet of the shower.
Caution! Do not over tighten.
Feed the hose through the hose retaining ring.
Fit a hose seal into the conical nut and screw onto the showerhead.
Caution! Do not over tighten.
Place the showerhead assembly into the clamp bracket assembly.

Note! Do not overtighten the screws

Hose and Showerhead Installation

USER MAINTENANCE

Cleaning
Many household cleaners contain abrasives and chemical substances, and should not be used for cleaning plated or plastic fittings. These finishes should be cleaned with a mild washing up detergent or soap solution, and then wiped dry using a soft cloth.

De-scaling the Showerhead
Important! Keeping the showerhead clean and free from limescale will ensure that your shower and showerhead continue to perform to their maximum. A blocked showerhead can restrict the flow rate and may cause damage to your shower.

Use your thumb or a soft cloth to wipe any limescale from the soft nozzles

Inspecting the Hose
Important! The shower hose should be inspected periodically for damage or internal collapse, internal collapse can restrict the flow rate from the showerhead and may cause damage to the shower.
Remove the shower hose from the shower, inspect and replace the hose if necessary.

Unscrew the hose from the showerhead and the shower outlet.
Inspect the hose.
