5 Year warranty Terms and Conditions:
In the unlikely event that you should experience any defect in the materials
or workmanship of your new Rangemaster mixer within FIVE years of purchase,
the purchaser’s sole remedy shall be the replacement (at the manufacturer’s
discretion) of all or any part of the product that is defective. All working
parts and valves are guaranteed for a period of FIVE years from purchase.
Decorative surface finishes and O-rings are guaranteed for FIVE year from the
date of purchase provided that our advice concerning care has been observed
and no scouring agents have been used.
This is provided that the mixer has been used for normal domestic purposes in
the UK or Eire and that the care, installation and maintenance instructions
have been observed. The warranty extends to the original purchaser only. You
should retain a copy of your dated invoice as proof of purchase to validate
any claims under this guarantee.
Marks, scuffs and scratches caused by improper installation or accidental
damage are not covered by this guarantee. Neither are shade variations or any
damage or defect caused by incorrect installation or abuse of the fitting.
As we are continuously improving and developing our range of products,
finishes & colours, in the event of a valid claim, we may not be able to
provide an identical replacement for the defective product throughout the
guarantee period. Where an identical product is no longer available, we will
supply the nearest equivalent from our then current product range. In
assessing your claim, we must be given the opportunity to inspect the product
as installed prior to removal. Any product returns must be packaged as
received and complete.
No other warranties, express or implied, are made, including merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose. Under no circumstances shall the
manufacturer be liable for any loss or damage arising from the purchase, use
or inability to use this product, or for any special, indirect, incidental or
consequential damages. No liability is accepted for consequential damage to
other household fixtures, fittings or furnishings arising from this claim,
even if attached to the product. No installer, dealer, agent or employee of
Aga Rangemaster Limited has the authority to modify the obligations or
limitations of this warranty.
Care Instructions for your Kitchen Sink Mixer:
To maintain the appearance of this tap, ensure that it is regularly cleaned
only using a clean, soft damp cloth. A solution of warm water and a mild
liquid detergent may be used where necessary, and then the fitting rinsed
thoroughly and wiped dry. Any other cleaning action will invalidate your
warranty.
Abrasive cleaners, scouring cleaners and acidic cleaners must not be used
under any circumstances. Avoid contact with all solvents (including
chlorinated solvents, ketones or acetones as these may result in surface
deterioration or etching). Also avoid contact with any harsh household
chemicals such as oven cleaners, drain cleaners, rust removers, paint
strippers, bar keepers friend or Brasso.
Where the tap has a removable aerator on the spout exit it can be removed and
cleaned periodically to maintain optimum flow performance.
Important Technical Data:
Min / Max operating pressure: 0.4 / 5.5 bar*
Tap hole size and centres: ∅35mm
Flow characteristics: Single flow
Recommended / Maximum hot water temperature: 46 / 70°C
If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for short periods, damage can result. In these instances a thermostatic mixing or pressure reducing valve should be installed.
This product is either WRAS approved or manufactured in accordance with
recognised European standards. Please ensure that your Kitchen mixer is fitted
in accordance with Local Water Byelaws. Where hot and cold water mix within
the mixertap (single flow), then suitable non-return (check) valves should be
installed to the hot and cold supplies to prevent backflow (can be factory
fitted – see parts list).
Hot and cold supply pressures should be as closely balanced as possible for
best results. Supply pipes should maintain the maximum diameter until
immediately before the fitting. Always use the tail pipes provided. The
differential between the hot and cold water supply temperatures should be
sufficient to allow correct mixing function.
These installation guidelines have been prepared for your direction and you
must exercise due care at all times. We do not accept responsibility for
problems that may occur through improper installation. Whilst assembling the
tap take care not to accidentally loosen any factory fixed assemblies.
This tap has been 100% assembly tested; therefore you may expect a small
residual amount of water to remain in the tap when delivered.
Any water marks can be removed using the above care advice.
Installation Preparation:
All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for
completeness and transport damage prior to installation. Before installing the
new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes
in order to remove any remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system.
Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause damage to the workings
of the mixertap, reduce flow rates and invalidate the warranty.
We recommend installing isolation valves to both the hot and cold feed pipes
in an accessible position. This will help to ease any future required
maintenance to the product.
Shut off the water heating system and ensure that the mains stopcock is
closed. Ensure both the hot and cold water supplies are isolated before
commencing installation. If replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean
the end of the feed pipes using wire wool, the tap hole areas should be free
from dirt and sealant. You should ensure that the product will both fit into
the depth of the mounting surface available and reach the required outlet
positions before installation. Loosely position the tap to check if any
alteration to the existing pipework is required, if this is the case do this
now.
Installation:
- Screw studded rod (D) into the base of the tap (A).
- Place the upper seal (C) into the base plinth (B) then place the base plinth (B) onto the bottom of the tap (A).
- Screw the hot & cold water tail pipes (I & J) into the base of the tap (A) as shown.
- Place the mixertap (A), base plinth (B) and upper seal (C), onto the sink/worktop, passing the tail pipes (I & J) and studded rod (D) through the tap hole.
- Pass the triangular stabiliser (E), lower gasket (F) and then metal horseshoe (G) over the studded rod (D) and around the flexible tail pipes (I & J)
- Fasten the fixing nut (H) securely onto the fixing stud (D) to fix the tap (A) into its correct location.
- Connect the hot and cold tail pipes (I & J) to the water mains using ½” BSPx15mm compression fittings.

After installation:
Once you have visually checked the installation of the new tap and all
connections, ensure that all other fittings are closed except the new tap
which should be left open.
Turn on your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is open.
Reconnect both the hot and cold water supplies to this fitting.
Check the function of flow and function of hot, cold and mixed water.
Turn off the tap and check carefully for any leaks around all connections on
the fitting and adjoining plumbing.
If possible return to the installation after a longer period to double check
for slower leaks. If pressure testing equipment is available check the
installation to the maximum recommended pressure.
Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed
then place a bag over the product to protect the tap until it is ready for
use.
The installation should be periodically checked for damage, if the property is
left unattended for a prolonged period we recommend isolating water supplies.
