5. Betjeningsvejledning

The GROHE 26449000 is a concealed body and does not have direct operating controls. Its function is to provide the internal plumbing for a compatible GROHE thermostatic mixer trim set. Once the trim set is installed, refer to the instruction manual provided with your specific GROHE trim set for operating instructions, including temperature control, flow adjustment, and diverter functions.

Ensure that the trim set is correctly installed onto the concealed body according to its specific instructions to guarantee proper functionality and prevent leaks.

6. Vedligeholdelse

As a concealed unit, the GROHE 26449000 requires minimal maintenance once properly installed. However, regular checks of the visible trim set and general plumbing can help ensure longevity.

• Lækagedetektion: Periodically check for any signs of water leakage around the trim set or in adjacent wall areas. Address any leaks promptly.
• Vandkvalitet: In areas with hard water, mineral deposits can affect the performance of the thermostatic cartridge (located in the trim set). Regular flushing or professional descaling may be required for the trim set.
• Professionel inspektion: Consider a professional plumbing inspection every few years to ensure all concealed components are functioning correctly and to prevent potential issues.

7. Fejlfinding

Most issues related to a concealed shower system typically stem from the visible trim set or external plumbing. However, here are some general troubleshooting tips:

• Ingen vandgennemstrømning:
  • Check if the main water supply to the property or bathroom is turned on.
  • Ensure the trim set's controls are in the "on" position.
  • Verify that any shut-off valves for the concealed body are fully open.
• Lavt vandtryk:
  • Check the main water pressure to your home.
  • Inspect the trim set's filters or aerators for blockages.
  • Ensure all connections to the concealed body are fully open and not restricted.
• Temperature Fluctuations (if using a thermostatic trim set):
  • This is usually an issue with the thermostatic cartridge in the trim set. Refer to the trim set's manual.
  • Ensure hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the concealed body (hot on left, cold on right, typically).
• Lækager:
  • If leaks are visible around the trim set, check its seals and connections.
  • If water appears in the wall or floor, this indicates a leak in the concealed body or its connections. Immediately turn off the water supply and contact a qualified plumber.
