appropriate. Ensure that the connection to hot
and cold water is correct.
Preparations for use
After the initial commissioning, check all connections
for leakage carefully.
In order to remove any possible impurities, the tap
has to be flushed before it is used for the first time.
To do this, proceed as follows:
Unscrew the aerator 24 from the rinsing spray 4 .
Open the main water supply and allow the
water to flow for two minutes to flush out any
residues.
The replace the aerator 24 by screwing it onto
the rinsing spray again 4 .
Operation
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.
Open the main water supply.
Lift the handle
1 and swing it to the right or
left in order to regulate the speed or temperature
of the water.
Hot water:
Swing the handle
1 to the left.
Cold water:
Swing the handle
1 to the right.
Check operation of the mixer. To do so, swing
the lever 1 into all permissible positions.
Please check the connections regularly to
ensure that they are tight.
Eco Function / saving water
The cartridge 23 in this tap gas an Eco function.
This feature limits the rate of water flow through the
tap. This means you can save up to 50 % water
(see fig. B).
Lift the handle 1 until you notice a slight resist-
ance. 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 handle 1 until you
overcome the resistance.
Setting the scald protection
The cartridge 23 in this tap has a scald protection
function. This function is not activated before leaving
the factory (neutral setting) (see fig. C / I).
Note: Do not alter the setting of the scald protection
until you have installed the tap.
Note: For this step you need an Allen wrench that
is included in the scope of delivery (2.5 mm)
27 .
Follow these steps:
Switch off the general water supply.
Remove the hot / cold plaque
3 by moving the
handle 1 into top-most position and pushing
the plaque 3 out carefully from inside with a
long, flat object.
Release the locking screw 2 with the Allen key
27 by turning it in an anticlockwise direction.
CAUTION! Do not unscrew the screw com-
pletely. Only loosen this as far as is necessary
to remove the handle
1 .
Remove the handle 1 .
Unscrew the cartridge covering ring 20 .
Now pull the red adjusting ring 22 upwards with
the aid of a screwdriver.
Note: Press the cartridge pins slightly back-
wards. This makes it easier to pull up the
adjusting ring
22 .
CAUTION! Do not use a wrench. Do not
release the cartridge nut and do not take off
the cartridge
23 .
Reducing the hot water flow rate:
Replace the adjusting ring 22 as shown in
Figure C / II in offset position.
