Installation Steps:
- Ensure all necessary components are present: base body, handle, connection hoses, QuickClean aerator, ceramic cartridge, and temperature limiter.
- Prepare the sink for installation, ensuring the mounting hole is clean and correctly sized (typically ⌀34mm).
- Follow the detailed mounting instructions provided in the package for securing the mixer to the sink.

Operating Instructions
The Hansgrohe Novus 100 basin mixer features a single, dynamically upright handle for easy control of water flow and temperature.
Water Flow and Temperature Control:
- Adjusting Flow: Lift the handle upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to reduce or stop the flow.
- Adjusting Temperature: Move the handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The ceramic mixing system ensures precise temperature control.
Key Features:
- AirPower: This technology enriches the water with air, creating fuller, lighter, and softer drops for a more pleasant water sensation.
- EcoSmart: The automatic flow limiter restricts the water flow rate to 5 liters per minute at 3 bar, contributing to water and cost savings while being environmentally friendly.
- Adjustable Temperature Limiter: When installed, this feature protects against accidental scalding by limiting the maximum hot water temperature.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Hansgrohe Novus basin mixer.
Cleaning Instructions:
- QuickClean Feature: The aerator is equipped with QuickClean technology. Limescale deposits can be easily removed by gently wiping the silicone insert on the spout with your finger.
- General Cleaning: Use only mild cleaning agents, such as a solution of citric acid or vinegar, and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or strong chemical solutions, as these can damage the chrome finish and internal components.
- Rinsing: After cleaning, thoroughly rinse the faucet with clean water to remove any cleaning agent residue.
- Drying: Dry the faucet with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.
