How to use the basic functions of a shower stall
Strict compliance with the basic requirements for proper operation is the key to trouble-free and durable operation. Therefore, before starting hygiene procedures, you must carefully study the attached instructions. Then check the operation of the booth in trial mode.
Usually, using even modern models with extensive capabilities does not cause any particular difficulties. In this case, it is worth paying special attention to some of the functions and modes that the most expensive cabins have, for example, hydromassage, steam generator or aromatherapy. There are basic rules for using touch control panels:
- turning on any of the functions is accompanied by green illumination of the corresponding buttons;
- if the option was disabled, a red indicator will indicate this;
- To turn on the device, you need to press the corresponding area on the touch panel.
Attention! Do not expose the touch control panel directly to water. If water gets on its internal elements, the panel may completely fail or begin to work incorrectly.
Turn on the watering can
Most modern shower stalls are equipped with single-lever faucet models. To turn on the water, the lever must be pulled towards you. You can adjust the temperature by turning the handle to the right or left.
Reference. When choosing a suitable shower stall model, pay attention to the diameter of the shower head. The narrow version is not very convenient to use, and from a wide watering can, water will drain for a long time after use.
Turn on the overhead shower
An overhead or rain shower does not differ in appearance from a traditional watering can. The main difference is its large size and location. Turning it on allows you to create the effect of tropical rain.
This is achieved by the structure and distribution of water flows through a grate located on the shower ceiling. Thanks to this system, water is mixed with air bubbles. This creates the effect of raindrops.
You can enable this option by pressing the corresponding button on the touch control panel.
How to turn on the hydromassage
Hydromassage is not only a pleasant option, but also useful. However, it is worth keeping in mind that it cannot replace a full massage procedure.
It is turned on by pressing the “Nozzles” button.
The intensity of the nozzles is regulated by additional pressing.The third press will turn on the nozzles at the bottom of the structure. And if you press four times, all elements of the hydromassage will turn on simultaneously.
We start ventilation
The shower stall is a closed space, so the humidity level in it quickly rises. In the absence of ventilation, mold or mildew will form on the surface over time.
"Turkish bath"
Some models of shower cabins have a steam generator. It allows you to use the Turkish Bath option. If you press the “Steam” button, the generator will begin to fill the cabin space with warm steam. It will indicate that there is no water in the system with a red indicator.
Additional features of the shower cabin
Most modern models are equipped with the following options:
- playback of audio files, radio;
- aromatherapy;
- ability to use built-in telephony.
To use aromatherapy, first open a special box and place your favorite essential oils or essences in it. When you turn on the steam generator, the “Aromatherapy” option will automatically work.
The microphone and speaker built into the booth are not of good quality, so they cannot ensure proper transmission of sound signals. In addition, telephony receives the signal quite poorly.
There are also corresponding buttons for them on the dashboard. It should be borne in mind that when using telephony, the nozzles and ozonizer will stop functioning.
The nuances of using a shower stall
Following simple recommendations will not only make using the shower more comfortable, but will also extend its service life:
- Before use, check that there is power supply.
- The control panel requires careful handling. There is no need to press the buttons too hard. If it fails, contact a service center.
- Make sure the ventilation system is working properly. Otherwise, fungus or mold may develop on the surface.
- If acrylic is used as a coating material, the water temperature should not exceed 60 degrees.
Features of cabin care
The weakest element of the design is the pallet. To avoid damaging it, do not jump or drop heavy or sharp objects.
Particular attention must be paid to the wheels of sliding doors. Refrain from sudden movements when opening the booth. Otherwise, you will need to replace the doors, which is quite expensive. To keep them presentable, wipe them with a soft cloth after each use.
If the booth is equipped with an ozonation option, then it can be used to disinfect surfaces. To do this, purchase a special antimicrobial agent. The tray can be tidied up using toothpaste.
Do not use powders or other cleaning products that contain harsh abrasive particles. It is advisable to care for the shower stall with soft gels or creams.
Don't forget about rubber structural elements. Over time, mold or mildew may form on their surface. Therefore, they should be cleaned thoroughly.
If you follow all the recommendations, as well as timely care, the shower stall will delight you for many years, allowing you to carry out hygiene procedures with complete comfort.
