5. Uputstvo za upotrebu

Once installed, the GROHE 47012000 Thermostatic Cartridge operates automatically within your compatible fixture to maintain a desired water temperature. Thermostatic cartridges work by blending hot and cold water to achieve a set temperature, and they react quickly to changes in water pressure or temperature in the supply lines to prevent scalding or sudden cold shocks.

• Izbor temperature: Use the temperature control handle on your fixture to select the desired water temperature. The cartridge will then mix hot and cold water to achieve and maintain this setting.
• Sigurnosno zaustavljanje: Many thermostatic fixtures include a safety stop (often at 38°C / 100°F) to prevent accidental scalding. To exceed this temperature, you typically need to press a button or override a mechanism on the handle.
• Kontrola protoka: The cartridge primarily controls temperature. Water flow is usually controlled by a separate handle or mechanism on the fixture.

6. Održavanje

Proper maintenance can extend the life of your thermostatic cartridge and ensure consistent performance.

• Redovno čišćenje: Periodically clean the exterior of your faucet or shower fixture according to GROHE's recommendations for the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage surfaces.
• Cartridge Cleaning (if necessary): In areas with hard water, mineral deposits can accumulate on the cartridge over time, affecting its performance. If temperature regulation becomes inconsistent, the cartridge may need to be removed and soaked in a descaling solution (e.g., vinegar) to remove mineral buildup. Always rinse thoroughly before reinstalling.
• Temperature Calibration Check: If your water temperature feels inconsistent, check if your fixture requires recalibration. Refer to your fixture's specific manual for instructions.
