Introduction
Mira Logic Adjustable Shower Fittings
If you experience any difficulty with the installation or operation of your new shower fittings, then please refer to "Fault Diagnosis", before contacting Kohler Mira Limited. Our telephone and fax numbers can be found on the back cover of this guide.
Thank you for purchasing a quality Mira product. To enjoy the full potential of your new product, please take the time to read this guide thoroughly, having done so, keep it handy for future reference.
This Installation and User guide covers the following products:
Mira Logic Exposed Variable Shower Fittings (ev)
An adjustable spray handset with four different spray actions (start, soothe, force and eco*), supplied complete with flexible hose, clamp bracket assembly, slide bar, supports, hose retaining ring/gel holder and wall mounted soap dish. Available in chrome, satin chrome and white/gold finish.
Mira Logic Built-in Variable Shower Fittings (biv)
Offering the same features as the Logic ev but also includes a right angle connector (RAC). Suitable for connection to concealed pipework supplies. Available in chrome, white, satin/chrome and gold finish.
Mira Logic Built-in Rigid Shower Fittings (bir)
An adjustable spray built-in shower head with four different spray actions (start, soothe, force and eco*). Suitable for connection to concealed pipework supplies only. Available in white and chrome finish.
* The eco setting reduces the water flow to give economical use of water, whilst still
giving an adequate shower performance. This setting performs best with most gravity, pumped, and mains pressure unvented systems. On electric showers and some combination boiler systems the economy setting will have no effect, and will give the same spray action as the start setting.

Installation Requirements
Installation must be carried out in accordance with these instructions, and must be conducted by designated, qualified and competent personnel.
1. The hose retaining ring supplied must be used to stop the handset from dropping
below the spill-over level of the bath or shower tray. This will prevent water contamination due to backsiphonage.
2. Installations must comply with UK Water Regulations/ Bye-laws (Scotland), and Building and Plumbing Regulations in force at the time of installation.
3. When installing the shower fittings in a cubicle, position with the spray pointing across rather than toward the opening of the cubicle.
4. When installing the shower fittings over a bath, position with the spray pointing down the centre line of the bath.
5. Avoid layouts where the shower hose will be sharply kinked. This may reduce the life of the hose.
6. Do not fit any form of flow control in the shower outlet.
7. Do not use excessive force when making connections.
8. Do not install the fittings in a position where it could become frozen.
9. The minimum pressure required for a satisfactory spray pattern to form, at the
handset or spray head, is 0.06 bar. For a gravity fed shower installation the minimum head of water required, to accommodate the pressure loss in the pipes and shower control of a typical installation, is 1.0 metre.
For a pump installation the minimum acceptable vertical distance between the base of the cold water storage cistern and the shower head to operate the pump’s flow switches, is typically 0.6 m (600 mm).
High and Low Capacity Nozzle Rings
1. All shower fittings are supplied with low capacity nozzle rings fitted as standard
to the handset or shower head. High capacity nozzle rings, with larger spray holes, are also included in the fittings pack.
The low capacity nozzle rings will be suitable for most shower installations. However for high pressure installations the spray force may be too powerful for comfortable showering. In such situations it is recommended the high capacity nozzle rings are fitted. Refer to Maintenance: 2. Spray plate assembly -
removal and installation for removal and fitting instructions.
2. For gas water heaters which require a higher flow rate to operate correctly, it is
recommended the high capacity nozzle rings are fitted.

Before using your shower
Please take the time to read and understand the operating and safety instructions detailed in this manual.
