4. Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure all necessary components are present and the water supply is turned off. This tap is designed for single-hole deck mounting.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the basin or countertop has a single mounting hole of appropriate diameter (refer to Figure 4.1 for exact dimensions). Clean the area thoroughly.
- Install the Tap: Insert the tap body into the mounting hole. Secure it from underneath the basin using the provided GROHE QuickFix rapid installation system components (washer, nut).
- Connect Water Supply: Attach the flexible connection hoses to the hot and cold water supply lines. Ensure a watertight seal. Important: This tap is for low-pressure systems. If connecting to UK plumbing, UK Compression Adaptors 15 mm x 3/8 Inch (GROHE 46914000) may be required.
- Install Pop-Up Waste: Assemble and install the 1 1/4" pop-up waste set into the basin drain hole according to the separate waste installation instructions. Connect the pull rod from the tap to the waste mechanism.
- Check for Leaks: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks. Operate the tap to ensure proper function.
5. Operating Instructions
The GROHE Eurostyle Cosmopolitan Basin Tap features a single lever for easy control of water flow and temperature.
- Water Flow: Lift the lever upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to decrease or stop the flow.
- Temperature Control: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The GROHE SilkMove cartridge allows for precise temperature adjustment.
- Pop-Up Waste: Use the pull rod located at the back of the tap to open or close the basin's pop-up waste.
6. Maintenance
To maintain the pristine appearance and functionality of your GROHE tap, follow these cleaning and care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the tap regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive liquid cleaner.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring agents, or cleaners containing alcohol, hydrochloric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, or phosphoric acid, as these can damage the GROHE StarLight chrome finish.
- Aerator Cleaning: Periodically unscrew the aerator at the end of the spout and clean any mineral deposits or debris to maintain optimal water flow.
- Cartridge Care: The GROHE SilkMove ceramic cartridge is designed for long-lasting, maintenance-free operation. If water flow or temperature control becomes stiff, contact a qualified plumber.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your tap, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed stopcock; low water pressure. | Clean the aerator; ensure stopcocks are fully open; verify water pressure is adequate for a low-pressure system. |
| Tap is dripping | Sediment in cartridge; worn cartridge. | Flush the system by running water for a few minutes; if problem persists, the cartridge may need replacement by a professional. |
| Water temperature inconsistent | Issue with water heater; cartridge malfunction. | Check your water heater settings; if the issue is with the tap, a professional may need to inspect or replace the cartridge. |
| Leaks at connections | Loose connections; damaged seals. | Turn off water supply, tighten connections, or replace seals if damaged. |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact a qualified plumber or GROHE customer support.
