Hi Alan,

Here you will find how to reset the temperature on the cartridge -

Temperature for Adjustment (Bar showers)

This cartridge is factory set at 38°C. This can however be adjusted for personal preference. To do this
follow the steps below.
1. Remove the end cap from the temperature handle and unscrew the retaining screw.
2. Pull the temperature handle off from the spline of the thermostatic cartridge.
3. Turn the flow of water on fully using the flow control handle.
4. Turn the spindle of the thermostatic cartridge anti-clockwise to make the shower hotter and
clockwise to make it cooler until the desired temperature has been reached.
5. Replace the temperature control handle so that the stop is in the maximum position.
6. Replace the centre retaining screw and push the end cap back on.

Note: We advise in hard water areas that the shower Note: is maintained regularly to enhance performance.
