There are hot and cold water tubes going to it. The handle has two jobs, the mixture of hot/cold and the total volume passing through. For example left/right can be opening the outlet to the hot/cold inlet respectively. Any setting in between results in a mixture of certain parts. Up/down simply opens the outlet and thus controls the volume let through.
