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. If the tap has a diffuser it should be unscrewed and cleaned of dirt and scale periodically to maintain performance.

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 and toilet bowl cleaners, bar keepers friend or Brasso.

This tap 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.

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 screwed assemblies.

Where the tap has a removable aerator on the spout exit it can be removed and cleaned periodically to maintain optimum flow performance.

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 problems or damage to the workings of the mixer tap.

We strongly recommend installing isolation valves to both the hot and cold feed pipes in an accessible position. This will help to ease any future maintenance if required.

Shut off your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is closed. Open the lowest hot and cold taps in the house and allow the water to run until the cold-water storage tank and pipes are fully empty. Please note, the hot water storage cylinder (if applicable) will remain full.

This mixer tapØ requires a 35mm tap hole, if replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the end of the feed pipes using wire wool the tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant.

Loosely position the tap and tail pipes to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is required, if this is the case do this now.

Installation:

After installation:

Once you have visually checked the new fittings and connections, ensure that all taps are closed except the new mixer tap, which should be left open. Turn on the water supply at the mains stop cock. As the system starts to refill, check carefully for leaks. Once you are fully satisfied that there are no leaks, turn on the water heating.

Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then replace the bag that has been provided to protect the tap until it is ready for use.

1.   IMPORTANT: Note that the handle moves 45° left (hot) and 45° right (cold) of the centre (mixed water) position. Decide on the required alignment of the tap handle to the sink bowls and the relevant resting position of the spout (see fig 1 for a suggested alignment). Note also that the spout is designed to rotate 360°
   

2. Screw the fixing stud (C) into the base of the tap (A).

3. Screw the hot and cold tail pipes (G) into the base of the tap body (A), note: the hot water should be connected to the left hand side of the tap when viewed from the front.

4. Place the upper seal (B) over tail pipes (G) and onto base of the tap body (A).

5. Place the mixer tap (A) onto the sink or worktop and pass the tail pipes (G) and fixing stud (C) through the taphole. With the tap (A) in place check that the tail pipes (G) meet the hot and cold water feeds. If further adjustment to the plumbing is required do this now.

6. Pass the lower gasket (D) and then metal horseshoe (E) over the fixing stud (C) and around tail pipes (G).

7. Fasten the fixing nut (F) securely onto the fixing stud (C) fixing the tap into its correct location centred over the tap hole.

8. IMPORTANT: Once the tap is secured in position do not attempt to adjust the alignment of the tap (fig. 1) by gripping and twisting the tap body (A) or the handle; doing so could loosen the tap assembly or break the valve. Always loosen fixing nut (F) before re-aligning the tap.

9. Connect the hot & cold water tail pipes (G) to the water supplies using ½” BSP x 15mm compression olives and nuts (H & I) or similar
