Operating Instructions

The Schütte London kitchen faucet is designed for intuitive operation.

Water Flow and Temperature Control:

• The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature.
• Lift the lever to increase water flow.
• Move the lever left for hot water and right for cold water.
• Cold-Start Function: When the lever is in the central position, only cold water flows. This energy-saving feature helps reduce wear on instantaneous water heaters and basin faucets by preventing unnecessary hot water activation.

Pull-Out Spray Function:

• The faucet features a practical pull-out spray head, extending approximately 70 cm.
• Gently pull the spray head from the spout to extend the hose.
• Use the pull-out spray for easier washing of dishes, filling large pots, or cleaning the sink basin.
• After use, guide the spray head back into the spout until it clicks securely into place.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.

Cleaning:

• Clean the stainless steel surface regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel.
• Avoid using abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, or cleaners containing acids or chlorine, as these can damage the finish.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Cartridge Replacement:

• The faucet is equipped with a quiet 40mm ceramic cartridge.
• If the faucet experiences drips or inconsistent water flow, the ceramic cartridge may need replacement.
• Replacement cartridges with ceramic sealing rings are readily available and can be easily installed by following the detailed instructions provided with the replacement part.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your kitchen faucet.

• Low Water Flow: Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator for mineral buildup and clean it if necessary.
• Leaking from Spout: A persistent drip from the spout usually indicates a worn-out ceramic cartridge. Refer to the 'Cartridge Replacement' section under Maintenance.
• Leaking from Base: Ensure all connections are tight. Check the O-rings and seals during installation. If the leak persists, re-check the mounting and connection hoses.
• No Hot/Cold Water: Verify that the hot/cold water supply lines are connected correctly and that the corresponding shut-off valves are open.

If you encounter issues not listed here or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact customer support.
