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.
