Dear customer,
You have purchased a high-quality and long-lasting product from our line of goods.

PROPER USE
The faucets are intended exclusively for regulating the hot and cold water supply.
The washbasin mixer is only intended for installation on washbasin. Any other use is considered improper and bears considerable risk of accidents or damage to property. The faucets are suited only for the operation of instantaneous water heaters (if the instantaneous water heater is suited for operation with mechanically adjustable mixers) and boilers.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Please let only a competent person carry out the installation.
- Incorrectly installed faucets can cause water damage!
- CAUTION WATER DAMAGE! Please switch off the general water supply before installation.
- Make sure that all seals are correctly seated.
- Do not twist the hoses or energise them!
- Check all connections for tightness after the first commissioning.
- The warranty excludes in particular consequential damage caused by faulty installation!
FLUSHING AFTER INITIAL INSTALLATION
After installation, unscrew the mixer jet, flush the pipeline and the faucet thoroughly for 2 minutes (hot/cold water supply), to flush out any dirt (chips). After flushing the faucet, screw the mixer jet back onto the outlet.

- Clean your faucets with clear water only, using a soft cloth or chamois.
- Please make sure that the cleaners do not enter the cartridge housing. This can lead to a stiff operating lever and noises.
Do not forget to unscrew the mixer jet at regular intervals and remove any limescale residue or foreign bodies. It is recommended to replace the mixer jet with a new one if it is very dirty

Warranty conditions
GENERAL
The company W. Kirchhoff GmbH, Hullerweg 1, 49134 Wallenhorst (hereinafter
referred to as “Kirchhoff”) voluntarily provides a warranty to consumers for
faucets in accordance with the following terms and conditions in addition to
the statutory warranty to which the consumer is entitled with regard to his
seller. This warranty shall not restrict the consumer’s statutory warranty
rights and can be claimed by the consumer free of charge.
The warranty declaration of Kirchhoff is not a waiver, restriction or other
modification of the contractual or statutory rights of the consumer in respect
of defects.
The “consumer” in this context means any natural person who is the owner of
the product and who does not resell or install it for the purpose of resale or
in the course of his or her legal or independent professional activity.
SCOPE OF WARRANTY
Kirchhoff guarantees its customers, insofar as they are consumers, perfect
material quality and material processing in accordance with the respective
purpose, as well as professional assembly, tightness and perfect functioning
of the product.
The warranty applies to initial purchases within the European Economic Area.
The initial purchaser is the consumer who first acquires the product for use.
A prerequisite for the intervention of this warranty declaration is first of
all professional installation and maintenance in accordance with the operating
and assembly instructions as well as the recognised rules of technology, and
compliance with the operating and care specifications of the product during
further use.
Excluded from the warranty:
- Cartridges, valves
- Damage due to improper assembly, commissioning and handling
- Damage due to use of incompatible spare parts
- Damage due to external influences such as fire, water, abnormal environmental conditions
- mechanical damage due to accident, fall or impact
- negligent or wilful destruction
- normal wear and tear or damage due to lack of maintenance
- Damage as a result of repairs carried out by unqualified persons
- Damage due to failure to observe the care instructions, e.g. improper treatment, insufficient care or use of unsuitable cleaning agents
- chemical or mechanical influences during transport, storage, connection, repair and use of the faucet
WARRANTY
The warranty service for the professional rectification of the defect relates,
at our discretion, to the repair free of charge, the delivery of spare parts
free of charge or an equivalent faucet in return for the return of the
defective part or the defective faucet. If the type in question is no longer
manufactured, we reserve the right, at our own discretion, to supply a
replacement faucet from our range that is as close as possible to the returned
type. Replaced faucets or parts thereof shall become our property.
Reimbursement of expenses for removal and installation, inspection, claims for
loss of profit and damages are excluded from the warranty, as are further
claims for damage and loss of any kind caused by the faucet or its use.
Kirchhoff shall only be liable to end customers for damages or reimbursement
of expenses on the basis of mandatory statutory regulations. Should the
customer nevertheless wish to have a repair carried out after being informed
that the warranty does not apply, he shall bear the additional costs incurred
for this.
ENFORCEMENT OF THE WARRANTY CLAIM
A prerequisite for the assertion of the warranty is that a warranty case exists. This is the case if the product is proven to not be free from material, manufacturing, construction, or functional defects. The warranty claim must be made in text form to Kirchhoff within the warranty period by submitting the original purchase receipt showing the date of purchase. If it is necessary to send in the faucet in order to check the warranty claim, the purchaser shall bear the transport costs and the transport risk. The warranty claim can only be made for the country in which the product was purchased.
WARRANTY PERIOD
Our warranty is valid for ten (10) years from the date of purchase by the end customer. The date on the original purchase receipt is decisive. Warranty service does not extend or renew the warranty period for the product.
