Setup and Installation

Before you begin, ensure you have all necessary tools and components. It is recommended to have a basin wrench, adjustable wrench, plumber's putty or silicone sealant, and a screwdriver.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Sink: Ensure the mounting hole on your sink or countertop is clean and free of debris.
2. Mount the Faucet:
   • Apply a thin bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the base of the faucet.
   • Insert the faucet's supply lines and mounting shank through the hole in the sink.
   • From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the mounting shank.
   • Hand-tighten the mounting nut, then use a basin wrench to fully secure the faucet, ensuring it is straight and centered.
3. Connect Water Supply Lines:
   • Connect the hot water supply line from the faucet to the hot water shut-off valve.
   • Connect the cold water supply line from the faucet to the cold water shut-off valve.
   • Tighten all connections securely with an adjustable wrench, but do not overtighten.
4. Check for Leaks:
   • Slowly turn on the main water supply.
   • Open both hot and cold faucet handles to allow water to flow and flush out any debris.
   • Inspect all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.

Operating Instructions

The CORNAT NO5 mixer features two distinct handles for precise control over water temperature and flow.

• Cold Water: Turn the right handle counter-clockwise to open the cold water flow. Turn clockwise to close.
• Hot Water: Turn the left handle counter-clockwise to open the hot water flow. Turn clockwise to close.
• Temperature Mixing: Adjust both handles simultaneously to achieve your desired water temperature.
• Flow Control: The further you turn the handles, the greater the water flow.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your CORNAT faucet.

• Cleaning the Finish: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted or uneven, the aerator may be clogged with mineral deposits.
  1. Unscrew the aerator (M22 x 1) from the end of the spout.
  2. Disassemble the aerator and rinse all parts under running water.
  3. If necessary, soak the parts in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water to dissolve mineral deposits.
  4. Reassemble the aerator and screw it back onto the spout.
• Leak Prevention: Periodically check under the sink for any signs of leaks around the connections. Tighten connections as needed.
