5. Funzionamento
Operating your BERNSTEIN 4011 BASIC shower system is straightforward:
- Controllo del flusso d'acqua: The left knob typically controls the water flow and diverts water between the overhead shower and the hand shower. Turn it to increase/decrease flow or select your desired outlet.
- Controllo della temperatura: The right knob controls the water temperature. Rotate it to adjust the temperature. The safety stop at 38°C prevents accidental scalding. To exceed 38°C, press the safety button and continue turning the knob.
- Hand Shower Spray Patterns: The hand shower features multiple spray patterns. Rotate the spray plate on the hand shower head to cycle through the available patterns.
- Hand Shower Height/Angle: The hand shower holder can be adjusted up or down the shower rail and tilted to your preferred angle.
6. Manutenzione e pulizia
Una pulizia e una manutenzione regolari garantiranno la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del tuo sistema doccia.
- Pulizia generale: Clean the surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Evitare detergenti aggressivi: Non utilizzare spugne abrasive, pagliette o detergenti contenenti alcol, ammoniaca, candeggina o acido fosforico, poiché potrebbero danneggiare la finitura.
- Rimozione del calcare: For limescale deposits on shower heads, gently rub the silicone nozzles to dislodge scale. For stubborn deposits, use a descaling solution specifically designed for bathroom fixtures, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Cartuccia termostatica: If temperature control becomes erratic, the thermostatic cartridge may need cleaning or replacement. This should be done by a qualified professional.
