REMEMBER
• Our mixers must be installed by professional installers in accordance with current regulations
and recommendations in your country, and the specifications of the fluid engineer.
• Sizing the pipes correctly will avoid problems of flow rate, pressure loss and water hammer
(see calculation table in our brochure and online at www.delabie.com).
• Protect the installation with filters, water hammer absorbers and pressure reducers to reduce
the frequency of maintenance (recommended pressure from 1 to 5 bar (100 to 500 kPa) maximum).
• Install stopcocks close to the mixer to facilitate maintenance.
• The pipework, filters, non-return valves, stopcocks, bib taps, cartridge and all sanitary fittings should
be checked at least once a year, and more frequently if necessary.
THERMAL SHOCK
• It is possible to activate a thermal shock at the temperature of the hot water in the system:
- Open the valve using the control lever (Fig. BA).
- Loosen the grub screw V without fully removing it, using a 2.5mm Allen key, and remove the control
lever (Fig. BC).
- Using the 2.5mm Allen key, turn the screw on the spindle as far as possible to achieve
the temperature of the hot water in the system (approx. 3 turns) (Fig. BD) (collect the water from
the shower head) for 30 minutes.
• Once the thermal shock is complete do not forget to recalibrate the mixer to a maximum temperature
of 39°C.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
• Cleaning chrome, aluminium and stainless steel: do not use abrasive, chlorine or any other acid-
based cleaning products. Clean with mild soapy water using a cloth or a sponge.
• Frost protection: drain the pipes and operate the mixer/tap/valve several times to drain any
remaining water.
In the event of prolonged exposure to frost, we recommend taking the mechanisms apart and storing
them indoors.
