1.3 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the water supply is turned off at the main valve. Clean the wall surface where the faucet will be mounted.

2. Operation
The CORNAT LI2 1931 Lisa 2 faucet is designed for ease of use, providing precise control over water temperature and flow.
2.1 Water Flow and Temperature Control
- Hot Water: Turn the left handle counter-clockwise to open the hot water supply.
- Cold Water: Turn the right handle counter-clockwise to open the cold water supply.
- Temperature Adjustment: Mix hot and cold water by adjusting both handles until the desired temperature is achieved.
- Flow Control: The further the handles are turned, the greater the water flow.
2.2 Shower Diverter
The faucet features a rocker lever to divert water flow between the bathtub spout and a connected shower head (not included).
- To direct water to the bathtub spout, ensure the rocker lever is in the downward position.
- To direct water to the shower head, pull the rocker lever upwards. The water will flow through the shower head once activated.

3. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and aesthetic appeal of your chrome faucet.
3.1 Cleaning the Faucet
- Clean the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
3.2 Aerator Maintenance
The faucet is equipped with an aerator designed to provide a soft, air-enriched water stream while saving up to 40% water.

- If water flow becomes weak or irregular, the aerator may be clogged with mineral deposits.

- Rinse the aerator under running water and gently scrub away any debris or mineral buildup using a soft brush.
- Reattach the aerator, ensuring it is securely tightened.
