Instruccions de funcionament

The GROHE 47483000 Thermostatic Compact Cartridge is an internal component of your thermostatic mixing valve. Its primary function is to automatically maintain a consistent water temperature at the outlet, regardless of fluctuations in the hot or cold water supply pressure or temperature. Once correctly installed, the cartridge operates continuously to provide a stable water temperature, enhancing user comfort and safety by preventing sudden temperature changes.

User interaction is typically limited to adjusting the temperature setting on the external handle of the thermostatic valve, which then signals the cartridge to mix hot and cold water to the desired temperature.
