3. Operating Instructions

The Hansa Hansamix mixer features a single lever for controlling both water flow and temperature.

3.1 Water Flow Control

• To turn the water on, lift the lever upwards.
• To increase the water flow, lift the lever further.
• To turn the water off, push the lever downwards.
• The mixer provides a constant flow rate of approximately 7.8 to 8 liters per minute, independent of pressure fluctuations.

3.2 Temperature Control

• To adjust the water temperature, move the lever horizontally.
• Moving the lever to the left typically increases the hot water proportion.
• Moving the lever to the right typically increases the cold water proportion.
• The mixer includes an energy-saving fitting designed to optimize water temperature and reduce energy consumption.

4. Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Hansa Hansamix basin mixer.

4.1 Cleaning the Surface

• Clean the chrome surface with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or cleaners containing acid or chlorine, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

4.2 Anti-Limescale Protection

The mixer features a HONEYCOMB structure for improved anti-limescale protection. To maintain this feature:

• Periodically wipe the aerator (spout end) to remove any visible limescale buildup.
• For stubborn limescale, gently soak a cloth in a mild vinegar solution and wrap it around the aerator for a short period, then rinse thoroughly.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Hansa Hansamix basin mixer, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

5.1 Low Water Flow

• Check water supply: Ensure both hot and cold water supply valves are fully open.
• Inspect aerator: Limescale or debris can clog the aerator. Unscrew the aerator and clean it.
• Check supply lines: Kinked or obstructed supply hoses can restrict flow.

5.2 Leaks from Faucet Base or Connections

• Tighten connections: Ensure all water supply hose connections are securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
• Check mounting: Verify the mixer is securely mounted to the basin.
• Inspect O-rings/gaskets: If leaks persist, internal O-rings or gaskets may need inspection or replacement by a qualified professional.

5.3 Inconsistent Water Temperature

• Check water heater: Ensure your water heater is functioning correctly and set to an appropriate temperature.
• Verify supply lines: Make sure hot and cold water lines are connected to the correct inlets on the mixer.

For issues not resolved by these steps, please contact Hansa customer support or a qualified plumber.
