Section 2 Advice T o
Users
The following points will help you have a greater
understanding of how your handwash works:
• The electric heating element opera tes at a
constant rate.
The required water temperature is achieved
by adjusting the rate of water flow via the
control knob.
The higher the water flow the lower the
temperature a n d vice versa.
The temperature of the water supp l ied from
the mains can vary considerably throughout
the year from 5 to 20° C.
This means that in the winter, flow rate will be
less than in the summer to achieve the same
outlet temperature.
• Your handwash is designed to work within a
range of water pressures, if the pressure fa lls
below the minimum pressure required, it is
likely that the pressure switch wil l turn off the
power to the heating element, resulting in
cold water being produced by the unit.
(see page 3 for details)
Plan your own installation car efully.
Check on the nearest and most r eadily accessible
rising mains water supply.
