Commissioning Maximum Temperature Setting Before using the shower, the maximum temperature must be checked to make sure that it is at a safe level. It has been preset to a safe showering temperature under ideal conditions at the factory, appropriate for most systems. However, site conditions and personal preference may make it necessary to reset this temperature.
Cleaning Cleaning Many household and commercial cleaners, including hand and surface cleaning wipes contain abrasives and chemical substances that can damage plastics, plating and printing and should not be used. These finishes should be cleaned with a mild washing up detergent or soap solution, and then wiped dry using a soft cloth. Important! The showerhead must be de scaled regularly, keeping the showerhead clean and free from lime scale will ensure that your shower and showerhead continue to perform to their maximum.
Fault Diagnosis If you require a Mira trained service engineer or agent, refer to ‘Customer Service’. Symptom Cause / R ectification Water too hot or too cold Inlets reversed (hot supply to cold supply).Rework inlet pipework. Check filters for any blockage. Check the maximum temperature setting (If you have a combination type boiler it may not be producing sufficient hot water at the desired flow rate).
