5. Operating Instructions
The Hansgrohe Talis 80 is a single-lever mixer, allowing for easy control of both water temperature and flow rate.

6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your Hansgrohe mixer.
Cleaning the Faucet:
- Clean the chrome surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning to remove any residue.
- Do not use cleaners containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid, chlorine bleach, or acetic acid, as these can cause significant damage.
Descaling the Aerator:
The aerator (spout outlet) can accumulate limescale over time, affecting water flow. The Hansgrohe Talis 80 features an easy-clean aerator.
- Simply rub your finger over the flexible silicone nozzles of the aerator to dislodge limescale deposits.
- For stubborn deposits, unscrew the aerator and soak it in a mild descaling solution (e.g., vinegar and water) before rinsing and reattaching.
