Installation

Installing the tap

Turn off the main water supply to prevent seriousleakage of water. Allow any remaining water in the pipework to drain.
Install the tap as shown in Figs. A–D.
**CAUTION!** Do not bend the hoses or place them under tension. Otherwise material damagecould result.

Attaching the pop-up waste

Install the pop-up waste as shown in Fig. E–G.

Using the pop-up waste

See Fig. H.

Flushing the tap

The tap must be flushed through before first use to remove any dirt. To do this, follow these steps (see Fig. I):
Screw the mixer nozzle 27 off.
Open the main water supply and allow the water to run for two minutes.
Then screw the mixer nozzle 27 on again.

Operation

Bringing into use

Note: If the tap has not been used for a long period flush the pipes through thoroughly in order to avoid stagnation and build-up of residues in the drinking water supply.

Open the main water supply.
Lift the control lever 20 and swivel it to the right or left to regulate the strength or temperature of the water flow.

Hot water:

Swivel the control lever 20 to the left.

Cold water:

Swivel the control lever 20 to the right.
Check that the mixer tap is working properly. To do this, swivel the control lever 20 into all the possible positions. Please check the connections regularly for leaks.

Setting the temperature limiter

The cartridge 26 in this unit has a temperature limiter. This function is not activated in the factory (neutral setting).

**CAUTION!** Change the temperature limiter setting only after the tap has been installed. Turn off the main water supply.

Remove the cap 22 carefully by a small flat screwdriver (see Fig. J)
Release the locking screw 21 by turning it anticlockwise using a hexagon socket screw key 9 .
CAUTION! Do not take the screw completely out; just loosen it until the control lever 20 can be easily taken off.
Take off the control lever 20.
Loosen the cartridge end ring 23 by hand, then screw off the cartridge locking ring 24 by using a pipe wrench.
Now pull the setting ring 25 upwards with the help of a screwdriver.
Note: Do not remove the cartridge 26 .
Place the setting ring 25 in the desired position as shown in Fig. K.
Note: The setting ring 25 can limit the turning angle of the handle, so that the amount of hot water can be limited.
Tighten the cartridge locking ring 24 onto the tap body 1 again by using a pipe wrench, then tighten the cartridge end ring 23 by hand.
Place the control lever 20 back on to the tap body 1 and tighten the locking screw 21 by turning it clockwise using a hexagon key 9.
Press the cap 22 into the opening.
Turn on the main water supply and check the temperature limiter.

Water-saving function

The cartridge 26 in this tap has a water-saving function. This feature limits the water flow through the tap. This means you can save up to 50 % water (see fig. L).
Lift the control lever 20 until you notice a slight resistance. This resistance will cause a stop in case of partial opening and will therefore simply limit the flow of water.
If you want to increase the flow rate, exert slight pressure on the control lever 20 until you overcome the resistance.

Maintenance and cleaning

Tap care and cleaning

Please note that sanitary fittings require special care and attention. Therefore you should follow the following advice:

Never use corrosive or alcohol-based materials for cleaning, as these could damage the product.
Clean your fittings with clean water, mild detergent, and a soft cloth or leather only.
Screw out the mixer nozzle 27 at regular intervals and remove lime deposits of foreign bodies.

Non-observance of the above care advice can be expected to result in damage to the surface of the fittings. In this event your rights under the warranty may be invalidated.

Disposal

The packaging is made entirely of recyclable materials, which you may dispose of at local recycling facilities.
Contact your local refuse disposal authority for more details of how to dispose of your worn-out product.

Information

Potability of mains water

Find out about the potability of your mains water supply. Your local water authority or water supply company will be able to inform you.
The following general recommendations apply to the potability of the water from your pipework:

Let the water run freely for a short time if it has been stagnating in the pipework for more than four hours. Do not use any of this stagnant water in the preparation of food or for drinking. This applies particularly as far as babies and infants are concerned. Failure to observe this advice may result in risks to health. Freshwater can be readily distinguished from stagnant as fresh water is noticeably cooler.
Do not use stagnant water from chromium-plated pipework for the preparation of food or for drinking or for personal hygiene if you are allergic to nickel. This water may contain high quantities of nickel and trigger an allergic reaction.
Do not use water from lead pipework for preparing food or drink for babies or infants. Do not use it for preparing food or drink during pregnancy. Lead dissolves in drinking water and is particularly damaging to the health of babies and young children.
