ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE LIMITER AND WATER FLOW ON THE VALVE

handle can be turned to the hot side of the valve. The limiter is typically set at the factory to allow only

amount of hot water that is allowed through the valve.
1. Unscrew the screw (N) using a Phillips screwdriver (not
included) and remove the inverter (K). Then unscrew
