• After use, be sure to wipe off any
moisture from all parts other than the
basin. Leaving the product with water
drops may result in failure or any
contamination will not be removed.
• When the floor is wet, be sure to wipe
the moisture off. Wet floors increase
the possibility of slipping and falling
or water leaks to the downstairs, thus
resulting in accidents.
The drain cap must be detached from the
drain outlet when the product is not in
use. If the cap is not detached, the cap
may accidentally close, and the water
may overflow the basin from the failure
to notice water discharge, thus resulting
in water leaks.

• A 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.
• The tap may become stiffer when turned depending on the environment or condition that it is used in.
This is due to deterioration of gasket of movable parts or a lack of grease as a result of aging.
Replacement of the gasket or other parts, or a recoating of grease is required.
• When the basin is not being used, turn the tap firmly full right (clockwise) to turn the water off
properly.
Failure to do this may cause water leakage.
• After shampooing, do not cover the drain with the drain cap, towel, or shampoo cape, as hot
water may accidentally come out or accidentally trickle due to an increase in water pressure at
night. This may cause water to spill from the basin, leading to water leakage.
• If the drainage become sluggish, the drainpipe may be clogged with dirt. Discontinue to use
and contact with your closest dealer.
• Operate the tap only after removing metallic objects, such as rings and wristwatches. Failure
to take this precaution may result in contact between the metal and the tap resulting in
scratches or cracks on the plated surface and thereby causing peeling of the plating.
• Before using the product, check that there are no scratches, cracks, or peeling of the plated
surface of the tap. If the plating is peeled off, immediately stop using the product and contact
your closest dealer. Continued operation may result in personal injury.

• The 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 (60°C to 80°C), 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 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 40°C when
the thermostatic 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
(60°C to 80°C), 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 40°C when the temperature of hot water or the pressure of
the water/hot water supply is adjusted and the locking position of the thermostatic control knob is
adjusted. When you want to order an adjustment, contact your closest dealer.
* For safety reasons, this product is designed so that hot water of approximately 53°C or higher is not output.
(Conditions: At the same supply pressure, water temperature is 20°C and hot water temperature is 60°C)
• Return the knob to an appropriate position after use.
Continuing to use the hot water with the knob in the hot position may cause burns.
• Using other equipment that share the same water/hot water supply source at the same time
may cause unstable water temperature.
Do not execute any quick operation of the respective devices.
• Operate the thermostatic control knob only after removing metallic objects, such as rings and
wristwatches. Failure to take this precaution may result in contact between the metal and the
thermostatic control knob resulting in scratches or cracks on the plated surface and thereby
causing peeling of the plating.
• Before using the product, check that there are no scratches, cracks, or peeling of the plated
surface of the thermostatic control knob. If the plating is peeled off, immediately stop using
the product and contact your closest dealer. Continued operation may result in personal
injury.

Turn the thermostatic control knob in the H or C direction to set the
temperature to an appropriate level.
Turning the knob toward H will make the water hotter, and turning
it toward C will make it colder.
To use hot water (40°C or higher), turn the temperature control
knob in the H direction while holding down the stop button.
Turning the knob toward H will make the water hotter, and turning
it toward C will make it colder.

Note
Caution
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 an additional cost.)

<Accumulating the Water>
To accumulate hot water for emulsification of hair color,
rotate the drain cap in the clockwise direction to close
the drain outlet. The amount of water should be below
the level shown by the dotted line in the illustration on
the below (just below the shower hose slot).
When water accumulates and exceeds the dotted line,
water may overflow from the shower hose slot.
To drain the accumulated water, rotate the drain cap in
the counterclockwise direction to open the drain outlet.
The cap is closed.
The cap is open.

<Discharging the Water>
• The amount of water should be below the designated
maximum water level. (See right figure.)
• Do not leave the shower head in the water to ensure that
water doesn't leak out the shower hose slot.
Water may flow back into the water pipe which could
cause issues.
• When the drainage speed slows, there is a possibility that
dust and dirt may have clogged the drainpipe.
• The drain cap must be detached from the drain outlet
when the product is not in use. If the drain cap is not
detached, the drain may accidentally close, and the water
may overflow from the failure to notice water dripping,
thus resulting in water leaks.
