contact with your closest dealer.
zA gushing sound may be emitted from the main body depending on the environment or conditions
that it is used in. This sound is due to water flowing fast through pipes as a result of high water
pressure or water volume control, and is not indicative of a defective product. This gushing sound can
be reduced by adjusting the water pressure.
zThe water stop knob may become stiffer when turned depending on the environment or condition
that it is used in. This is due to deterioration of packing of movable parts or a lack of grease as a
result of aging. Replacement of the packing or other parts, or a recoating of grease is required.

Note
* For safety reasons, this product is designed so that hot water of approximately 53Υor higher is not output.
(Conditions: At the same supply pressure, normal water temperature is 20Υand hot water temperature is 60Υ)
zThe water discharge amount may change significantly when controlling the hot water temperature
depending on the operating environment or conditions. This phenomena occurs when the hot
water temperature exceeds the recommended values (60Υto 80Υ), there is significant difference
in the water supply or hot-water supply pressure, or multiple devices are used at the same time-it
is not equipment failure.
zThe temperature of discharged water and the preset temperature may differ depending on the
operating environment or conditions.
(The system is designed so that the temperature of the discharged water will be about 40Υwhen
the temperature control knob is rotated toward the H position and locked in that position.)
This phenomena occurs when the hot water temperature exceeds the recommended values
(60Υto 80Υ), there is significant difference in the water supply or hot-water supply pressure,
or multiple devices are used at the same time it is not equipment failure. The temperature of
discharged water may be set at about 40Υwhen the temperature of hot water or the pressure of
the water/hot water supply is adjusted and the locking position of the temperature control knob is
adjusted. When you want to order an adjustment from us, contact your closest dealer.

<Accumulating the Water>
<Discharging the Water>
The drain cap must be detached from the drain
outlet when the product is not in use. If the lid
is not detached, the lid may accidentally close,
and the water may overflow the basin from the
failure to notice water discharge, thus resulting
in water leaks.
zDo not leave the showerhead in the water. Water may flow back when the water pressure
in the water pipe decreases during a water outage.
zWhen the drainage speed slows, there is a possibility that dust and dirt may have clogged
the drainpipe. Immediately stop using the product and contact your closest dealer.
<Lite or product with the lock tilt function>
Do not move the basin with water in it. Failure to take this precaution may result in overflow of
water from the basin or splashing of water over your closest dealer.
Drain cap
The amount of accumulated hot water may decrease slightly in an amount that does not affect use.
A small amount of water may flow out, which does not affect use. If the decreasing level is
significant, the gasket of the drain cap may have deteriorated or become worn. Replace the drain cap.
(Available at additional cost.)

ŶTrickle stopper rubber
At the end of work each day, wash with water to remove any hair or chemicals.Trickle stopper rubber is a consumable
