Safety warnings and precautions
Main risks
- Burns from excessively hot water or sudden temperature changes.
- Leaks or drips due to incorrect installation or deteriorated seals, with a risk of water damage and mould.
- Detachment of the hose or the outlet if not properly secured, causing uncontrolled sprays or knocks.
- Slips due to splashes outside the shower area or water pooling on the floor.
- Limescale build-up that alters the flow rate and causes irregular sprays and splashing.
- Minor cuts or pinches when handling metal parts and tools.
Safe use
- Turn off the water supply before installing, replacing or adjusting the shower outlet.
- Check the compatibility of threads, seals and the hose; do not force the threading.
- Screw on by hand and tighten only as necessary; avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to threads and seals.
- Use seals in good condition and the sealing method specified for the product; do not install without a washer if the model requires one.
- Turn the water on gradually after installation and check for possible drips and the temperature.
- Direct the spray towards the inside of the shower and adjust the flow to minimise splashing.
- Avoid pulling on the hose or using the outlet as a support point; use the holder provided for the shower handset.
- Adjust the mixer temperature to avoid excessively hot water.
Storage and maintenance
- If not installed, keep the product in its original packaging, in a dry place and protected from knocks.
- Clean with a soft cloth and neutral soap; avoid scouring pads, acids, bleach and abrasive products.
- Periodically check for play or leaks; replace worn seals and O-rings.
- Remove limescale periodically with suitable products and rinse well afterwards.
- Check the condition of the hose and the connection point; replace any damaged or cracked parts.
- After building work or water shut-offs, let the water run for a few seconds to purge sediment before use.
- Dry walls and floor after showering to reduce the risk of slips and stains.
Restrictions of use
- Do not use the shower outlet as a handle, support or anchoring point for loads.
- Do not modify the product or use adapters or extensions not intended for the connection.
- Do not use the product if you detect cracks, damaged threads, corrosion or movement in the wall.
- Do not exceed the pressure or temperature recommended by the manufacturer.
- Keep children and people with reduced mobility or thermal sensitivity under supervision to prevent burns.
- Avoid use with water containing sediment or sand without prior filtration, as it may damage seals and mechanisms.
