4.1 Initial set up of the shower
1. Turn the handle to FULL ON HOT position.
NOTE: Filling in the water with the handle on the “full on hot” position ensures no air pockets
are trapped in shower.
2. Attach garden hose to hose connector. Turn on water supply to the garden hose to fill the
shower. It will take 4-6 minutes to fill up the shower.
3. When water flows from shower head, turn handle off. Turning the handle off makes the
water begin to heat up in the tubes.

fully heat up water.
5. Water temperature in shower can reach up to 60°C in strong sunshine.
•WARNING: To avoid scald, pay attention to turn the handle to COOL WATER (blue) position
before using the shower. Then set to desired temperature.

draining out.

•When initially using the shower please let water run for several minutes and clean the
inner parts of the shower with running water in order to get rid of plastic and oil smell.
