Start-up

After the initial commissioning, carefully check all
connections for leaks.

To remove any possible impurities the tap must be
flushed before being used for the first time. To do
this, proceed as follows:

Unscrew the aerator

15

from the fitting

1

.

Open the main water supply and allow the

water to flow for two minutes to flush out any
residues.

Then reattach the aerator

15

to the fitting

1

.

Operation

Note: If the tap has not been used for a long pe-
riod, flush the pipes thoroughly to avoid stagnation
and build-up of residue.

Open the main water supply.
Lift the handle

9

and swing it to the right or

left in order to regulate the speed or tempera-
ture of the water.

Hot water:
Swing the handle

9

to the left.

Cold water:
Swing the handle

9

to the right.

Check operation of the mixer. To do so, swing

the handle

9

into all permissible positions.

Please regularly check the connections are
tight.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Maintaining and

cleaning the tap

Please note that sanitary taps require special care
and attention. Therefore, please follow the instruc-
tions:

When cleaning, never use petrol, solvents,

aggressive 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

15

at regular

intervals and remove any residues of scale or
foreign bodies.
If heavily contaminated or damaged, replace
the aerator

15

.

Note: The aerator

15

can normally be un-

screwed by hand. Otherwise use an open-end
spanner SW 22 mm and be sure to place a
thin, damp cloth around the aerator

15

to pre-

vent damaging 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. This will inevitably invalidate the guarantee.

Replacing the cartridge

A cartridge

14

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

9

becomes difficult to move. A

new cartridges

14

can be obtained from the listed

service office.
Note: this step requires an open-end spanner
SW 27 mm or fitting pliers.

Proceed as follows to replace the cartridge

14

:

Shut off the main water supply. Allow any

remaining water in the pipework to drain.

Remove the hot/cold plaque

11

by adjusting

the handle

9

to the highest position and in-

serting a flat object between the edge of the
hot/cold plaque

11

and the outside of the

handle

9

.

Note: Use light pressure to carefully push the
hot/cold plaque

11

outward so as not to

scratch the surface.
