A thermostatic valve controls the temperature inside your home— if it is not adjusted regularly, it can cause problems such as cold drafts or too much heat. A properly functioning thermostat helps save energy and reduce heating costs. In addition, it can prevent damage to your home.

The Hansgrohe thermostatic valve is easy to use—here is a guide:

How does the Hansgrohe Thermostatic Valve Work?

Hansgrohe thermostatic valves are designed to help regulate the flow of water in your bathroom fixtures. The thermostats are designed to maintain an ideal temperature between 60°F and 120°F (15°C-49°C).

The thermostat works like a switch that turns the water on and off. It senses the temperature of the incoming water and adjusts the flow accordingly. When the temperature changes, the thermostat automatically switches the water back on or off.

How to Install the Hansgrohe Thermostatic Valve

1. Remove the old valve cover plate using a screwdriver. You may need to pry up the screws with a flathead screwdriver.
2. Remove the old thermostatic valve from its mounting bracket.
3. Replace the thermostatic valve. Make sure you have removed any wires before you replace the valve.
4. Replace the valve cover plate. Use a screwdriver to secure the new cover plate into place.
5. Test the new thermostatic valve by turning the knob clockwise until the desired temperature setting appears. Turn the knob counterclockwise to turn the water back on.

How to Adjust the Temperature Settings

If the temperature setting does not appear when you turn the knob, try adjusting the adjustment dial located on top of the thermostatic valve.

This should bring the temperature up or down.

If adjusting the dial doesn't solve the problem, check the wiring connections between the thermostatic valve and the fixture.

How to Clean Your Thermostat

To clean your thermostat, first, remove the cap from the bottom of the unit. Then wipe out the interior with a damp cloth. Next, spray some water into the cavity where the thermostat sits. Let the water sit there for about 10 minutes. Finally, dry the area thoroughly.

How to Set the Time

To set the time, press the reset button located at the base of the timer.

To change the time settings, follow these steps:

1. Press the reset button.
2. Select the desired time from the menu.
3. Press the start/stop button.
4. Wait for the display to show the selected time.
5. Press the reset button again.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 until the correct time is displayed.

How to Change the Water Flow Rate

You can increase the water flow rate by pressing the control pad. To decrease the water flow rate, hold down the control pad.

How to Reset the Timer

Press the reset button located at the base of the timer. This resets all the functions of the thermostat including the time and water flow rate.

How to Check the Operation Status of the Thermostat

Checking the operation status of the thermostat can be done by following these steps:

1. Press the reset button located at bottom of the thermostat
2. Select the desired function from the menu
3. Wait for the display to show "Function Selected"
4. Press the start/stop button

The thermostat will now operate according to the selected function. If it still does not work, contact the manufacturer.

Some important things to note about the Hansgrohe thermostat valve are:

1. The thermostat uses a 24-volt DC power supply. It has no AC voltage input. Therefore, an external transformer must be used if the thermostat is being installed in an existing system.
2. The thermostats come with a 12-volt battery pack that provides backup power during periods of low electrical current. When the thermostat detects a loss of power, it automatically switches over to the backup battery.
3. The thermo-sensor (thermistor) is housed inside the thermostat housing. The thermistor senses the temperature of the incoming water and turns off the water heater when the water reaches the desired temperature.
4. The thermo-sensors have built-in memory so they don’t need to be replaced after each use. They last for years before needing to be replaced.

Conclusion

The Hansgrohe thermostats are very easy to use. Simply turn the knob to adjust the temperature and then press the start/stop button to activate the heating or cooling cycle. The thermostat comes with a 24-volt DC adapter. Also, it has a backup battery which keeps the thermostat working even if the main power goes off.

All the information provided above is intended to help you learn how to use this product properly. In case you encounter any problem while installing, contact the manufacturer.
