Operating Instructions

The Hansa Stela faucet features a single-lever design for easy control of water flow and temperature.

• Water Flow: Lift the lever to increase water flow. Push it down to decrease or stop the flow.
• Temperature Control: Move the lever left for hot water and right for cold water. Adjust to achieve the desired temperature.
• Jet Former: The integrated HAFLOW jet former ensures a consistent and aerated water stream. The flow rate is approximately 6 liters per minute at 3 bar pressure.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your Hansa Stela faucet.

• Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaners containing alcohol, ammonia, bleach, or phosphoric acid, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Jet Former Cleaning: Periodically unscrew and clean the HAFLOW jet former to remove any mineral deposits or debris that may affect water flow. Rinse under running water and reattach.
• Internal Components: The internal components are designed for durability. If internal issues arise, consult a qualified professional.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Hansa Stela faucet, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Low Water Flow:
  • Check if the main water supply is fully open.
  • Clean the HAFLOW jet former for mineral buildup or debris.
  • Inspect the water supply lines for kinks or obstructions.
• Leaks from Spout or Connections:
  • Ensure all connections are tightly secured. Do not overtighten.
  • Check the condition of O-rings and seals. Replace if worn or damaged.
  • If leaks persist from the spout, the internal cartridge may need inspection by a professional.
• Difficulty Operating Lever:
  • Ensure the lever is correctly installed and secured.
  • Mineral buildup can affect cartridge movement. If the lever feels stiff, professional servicing may be required.
