Monitor® 17 Series H₂Okinetic® Shower Trim in Champagne Bronze

Hello! Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company! To adjust your 1700 series temperature for hotter water, please follow the instructions below. Please turn the hot and cold water supplies off. Please gather a philips screwdriver. 1. Please remove the temperature cap located on the tip of your handle by placing your fingers on the 'pointer' of the temperature cap and peeling upwards. This will be a little difficult as it is clipped into the temperature knob. 2. Once this piece is removed, you will see a plastic piece held in by a philips screwdriver. Please remove this part and be very careful not to drop the screw or the Rotational Limit Stop (looks like a black cog). Please note this black cog piece goes in one way. 3. Pull the large handle off with the "black cog" piece and set it somewhere safe. 4. Slide the decorative sleeve off of the valve, you will now see a silver bonnet nut and a brass valve. 5. Please remove the bonnet nut with a strap wrench, then pull the cartridge out. 6. You will see a plastic piece in the back of the valve body that is holding o-rings and seats and springs. Please remove this part. 7. We recommend flushing the valve before installing the new cartridge assembly. 8. To flush the valve, please shut the shower curtain or shower door and turn the water on and let it flow for about 30 seconds to a minute. *Please note there is a limit to how far this will rotate, if you rotate to the hottest setting it will be the same temperature as your water heater. This is not recommended as it can cause scalding. Please also note that each notch you rotate to can range anywhere between 4 and 16 degrees Fahrenheit.* You have rotated your temperature to receive hotter water! Turn your water on and see if this is your desired temperature. We appreciate your inquiry. Please reach out directly if you have further questions!

Hi Iris, Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model T17297-SS. All of our finishes are designed for durability. Unfortunately, this faucet does not include SpotShield technology. Hard water spots are best avoided by wiping gently with a damp cloth and drying with a soft towel. If extra measures are needed, a solution of 50% distilled white vinegar (not apple cider or balsamic vinegar) and water could be used by wiping, spraying or soaking. Make certain that you rinse the surface thoroughly with water afterward and wipe dry. https://support.deltafaucet.com/s/article/Cleaning-and-Care Please reach out with any additional questions! Best Regards, Bryan

Hello ECK4488, Thank you for contacting us, I would be happy to help you. Removal of handles can be done by following the next few steps. First grab the wide part of the temperature handle, and pop/snap it off the temperature control. Next you will see a plastic part with a screw, those both would need to come off, so the volume control can be removed. Lastly grab the large volume handle and slide it off the stem of the cart. Please contact us back if you have any questions or need further assistance.  Best Regards,  Nicole
