Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your electronic basin mixer:
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the basin or countertop has a single faucet hole (typically 32-35mm diameter) and is clean and dry.
- Install the Faucet Body: Place the faucet body through the mounting hole. Secure it from underneath the basin using the provided gasket, washer, and fixing nut. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the flexible connection hoses from the faucet to your hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure a watertight seal using appropriate plumbing tape or sealant if necessary. The connections are G 3/8.
- Install Battery Compartment: Mount the battery compartment in an accessible location under the basin, away from direct water spray. Connect the cable from the faucet body to the battery compartment. Insert the required batteries (typically AA or AAA, refer to compartment for specifics) ensuring correct polarity.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks.

Operating Instructions
Sensor Activation
The Hansgrohe Electronic Basin Mixer operates via an infrared sensor. To activate the water flow, simply place your hands within the sensor's detection range (typically 5-15 cm) under the spout. The water will flow as long as your hands are detected. Removing your hands will stop the water flow automatically after a short delay.
Temperature Control
This model is designed for a single temperature output, often pre-mixed or cold water, as indicated by 'cold' in its description. There is no external lever for user-adjustable temperature control. Ensure your water supply is set to the desired temperature before installation if a specific mixed temperature is required.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the chrome finish and ensure optimal sensor performance:
- Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome finishes.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaners containing alcohol, ammonia, or phosphoric acid, as these can damage the surface.
- Wipe the sensor window gently with a soft, dry cloth to ensure it remains clear and responsive.
Battery Replacement
When the batteries are low, the faucet may exhibit reduced flow or intermittent operation. Replace the batteries as follows:
- Locate the battery compartment, usually mounted under the basin.
- Open the compartment cover.
- Remove the old batteries and dispose of them according to local regulations.
- Insert new batteries of the specified type (e.g., AA or AAA) ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
- Test the faucet operation.
