4. Configuration (Installation)

Outils dont vous pourriez avoir besoin : Adjustable wrench, plumber's tape (thread seal tape).

1. Couper l'arrivée d'eau : Locate the main water shut-off valve for your shower and turn it off.
2. Retirer l'ancien pommeau de douche (le cas échéant) : 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. Appliquer du ruban téflonné : 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. Raccordement du tuyau de douche : 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. Test de fuites : 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. Mode d'emploi

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).

• Activation/désactivation : Use your shower's main faucet handle to turn the water flow on or off.
• Modification des paramètres de pulvérisation : 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.

6. Entretien

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

• Nettoyage de la finition : 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.
• Buses de nettoyage : 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.
• Deep Cleaning (Descaling): 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.
