Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintaining and
cleaning the tap
Please note that sanitary taps require special care
and attention. Therefore, please follow the instructions:
When cleaning, never use petrol, solvent, ag-
gressive cleansers or hard cleaning brushes etc.
These could damage the surface of the product.
Dry your taps with a cloth after every use in
order to avoid the build-up of any limescale.
Clean the product with a damp, soft cloth and
a mild cleaning agent if required.
Unscrew and remove the aerator 24 at regular
interval and remove any residues of scale or
foreign bodies. In case of sever contamination
or damage, replace the aerator
24 with a new
one which you can order from the Service
Centre notified to you.
Note: The aerator 24 can normally be un-
screwed by hand. Otherwise you can use a
22 mm wrench and you must lay a thin, damp
cloth around the aerator
24 so that you do not
damage it. A pipe wrench with plastic jaws is
also suitable.
Non-observance of the above care advice can be
expected to result in damage to the surfaces of the
product. In this event your rights under the warranty
may be invalidated.
Replacing the cartridge
A cartridge 23 is a wear part that needs replacing
according to the hardness and / or degree of con-
tamination of the water. This becomes evident when
the handle
1 becomes difficult to move. A new
cartridges 23 can be obtained from the listed
service office.
Note: For this step you need an Allen wrench that
is included in the scope of delivery (2.5 mm)
27 .
Proceed as follows to replace the cartridge 23 (fig. A):
Shut off the main water supply. Allow any
remaining water in the pipework to drain.
Remove the hot / cold plaque 3 by moving the
handle 1 into top-most position and pushing
the plaque 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 .
Release the cartridge securing ring 21 beneath
it, using a wrench and pull the complete car-
tridge
23 out of the body of the tap 5 .
Place the new cartridge 23 (Type 40 M ESV)
into the body of the tap 5 in exactly the same
way.
Note: Make sure that the seal is fitted properly
under the cartridge
23 . Make sure that the
guides are in the corresponding holes.
Re-assemble all the afore-mentioned parts
again. Tighten the cartridge securing ring 21
hand-tight whilst holding the tap in place
against the rotating movement. This ensures
