4. Einrichtung (Installation)

Benötigte Werkzeuge: Adjustable wrench, plumber's tape (thread seal tape).

1. Wasserzufuhr abstellen: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your shower and turn it off.
2. Alten Duschkopf entfernen (falls zutreffend): Unscrew your existing showerhead from the shower arm. Use an adjustable wrench if necessary. Clean any old plumber's tape or debris from the shower arm threads.
3. Klempnerband anbringen: Wrap plumber's tape clockwise around the threads of the shower arm 3-4 times. This helps prevent leaks.
4. Install Shower Holder/Bracket: If your hand shower includes a wall-mounted bracket, follow its specific instructions for mounting. If it's an arm-mounted diverter, screw it onto the shower arm. Ensure it is hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a final quarter turn, being careful not to overtighten.
5. Duschschlauch anschließen: Attach one end of the shower hose to the shower holder/bracket and the other end to the PROFLO PFHS213 hand shower. Ensure washers are properly seated in both ends of the hose. Hand-tighten connections, then use a wrench for a final snug fit.
6. Auf Dichtheit prüfen: Turn the main water supply back on slowly. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections slightly more or reapply plumber's tape.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

The PROFLO PFHS213 hand shower features multiple spray settings for a customized showering experience. It operates at a flow rate of 1.0 Gallon Per Minute (GPM).

• Ein-/Ausschalten: Use your shower's main faucet handle to turn the water flow on or off.
• Sprüheinstellungen ändern: The hand shower has 3 distinct settings. To change the spray pattern, rotate the spray face or a dedicated lever/button on the showerhead (depending on the specific design of the PFHS213). Cycle through the settings until you find your desired spray.

• Fixed Use: Place the hand shower back into its holder for a traditional overhead shower experience.

6. Wartung

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PROFLO PFHS213 hand shower.

• Reinigung der Oberfläche: Clean the chrome-plated finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Düsenreinigung: Over time, mineral deposits can build up in the spray nozzles. Many modern showerheads feature flexible rubber nozzles that can be easily cleaned by gently rubbing them with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge deposits.
• Tiefenreinigung (Entkalkung): For stubborn mineral buildup, soak the showerhead in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for 30 minutes to an hour. Rinse thoroughly afterward. Do not soak for extended periods, as vinegar can be corrosive.
