OPERATION:

For normal operation, first turn on the cold water to achieve the desired flow rate, then introduce hot water until the preferred temperature is reached.

TEST:

When testing, ensure that no person is in the line of flow of water or in the catchments of the water.

Have a strong flow of warm water pass through the spout, then close the cold tap & observe the water shut-down.

Once the shut-down has occurred this product will reduce the flow of hot water to a trickle. This continuation of flow is necessary to allow resetting to occur.

It is recommended that this product be tested monthly.

RESET:

When ScaldShield? shuts down the hot water flow , turn off the hot tap, stand clear of he flow and open the cold tap. ScaldShield? will reset as soon as the hot water is purged from the pipes.

Turn on the cold water to achieve the desired flow ratio, then introduce hot water until the preferred temperature is reached.
