Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hansgrohe tap.
- Cleaning the Surface: Clean the chrome surface with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaners containing alcohol, hydrochloric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, or phosphoric acid, as these can damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
- QuickClean Technology: Your tap features hansgrohe QuickClean technology for easy limescale removal. Simply rub your fingers over the silicone nozzles on the aerator to dislodge any limescale deposits. This should be done regularly to maintain optimal spray performance.
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 due to limescale or debris. | Clean the aerator using QuickClean technology (rub silicone nozzles) or unscrew and clean thoroughly. |
| Leaking at connections | Loose connections or worn seals. | Check and tighten all water supply connections. Replace seals if necessary. Ensure proper use of sealing tape/compound during installation. |
| Water temperature inconsistent | Issues with water heater or supply pressure imbalance. | Verify water heater settings. Check hot and cold water supply pressures. If problem persists, consult a plumber. |
| Pop-up waste not functioning | Rod disconnected or mechanism obstructed. | Check the connection of the pop-up rod to the drain stopper. Clear any obstructions in the drain mechanism. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact hansgrohe customer support or a qualified plumber.
