Isolate the power at the double pole switch. Note! A slight hissing sound may be heard from the Mira Go during operation. High mains water pressure and high shower temperatures will effect the tone. This is quite normal in use.
Section Maintenance 1. General Read the section “Important Safety Information” first. Providing the shower has been correctly installed and is operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this guide, difficulties should not arise. If any maintenance is required then it must be carried out by a competent tradesperson for whom the maintenance instructions are provided.

The left-hand scale is temperature rise. (Temperature rise = Showering temperature minus the incoming cold water temperature.) Example: For the Mira Go 8.5 kW on full power setting with an incoming water supply at 10°C and a showering temperature at 42°C, the temperature rise is 32°C. The flow rate is therefore, 4 l/min.
