1.
It is installed, commissioned, operated and
maintained in accordance with manufacturers
recommendations.

The Mira Element SLT thermostatic mixer is
designed to need only minimal maintenance in
normal use. The only serviceable parts are the
inlet filters which should be checked and cleaned
every 12 months. If a malfunction occurs with the
thermostatic cartridge then this will necessitate a
complete cartridge replacement.
Note!
The cartridge contains no internally
serviceable parts.
