Setup and Installation
This faucet is designed for low-pressure water systems and requires an under-sink water heater or boiler for hot water supply. Ensure your plumbing system is compatible before proceeding with installation.
Required Tools (Not Included):
- Adjustable wrench
- Screwdriver
- Sealant tape (PTFE tape)
- Bucket and towels (for potential water spills)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off the main water supply. Clear the area under the sink.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet into the designated hole on your sink or countertop. Secure it from underneath using the quick-fix set provided.
- Connect Water Hoses:
- Connect the cold water hose (typically blue marking) directly to your cold water supply line.
- Connect the hot water hoses (typically red marking) to your under-sink water heater/boiler as per the heater's instructions. The faucet's flexible hoses are approximately 40 cm long.
- Check Connections: Ensure all connections are tight and sealed with sealant tape to prevent leaks.
- Test Faucet: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check for any leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure both hot and cold water flow correctly.
Important Note: For detailed assembly instructions, refer to the specific assembly guide included in your product packaging. If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to consult a qualified plumber.
Operating Instructions
The Eisl Lyon Low-Pressure Kitchen Faucet is designed for ease of use with a single lever handle.
- Water Flow Control: Lift the lever handle to turn on the water flow. The further you lift, the higher the flow rate.
- Temperature Control: Move the lever handle left for hot water and right for cold water. For low-pressure systems, cold water is supplied directly, while hot water is heated by your under-sink unit.
- Pull-Out Spray: The faucet features a pull-out spray head for extended reach and versatile cleaning. Pull the spray head from the spout to use. Press the button on the spray head to switch between different spray patterns (if applicable).
- 360-Degree Swivel: The spout can be rotated 360 degrees, providing flexibility for various sink tasks.
Note on Low-Pressure Systems: It is normal for low-pressure faucets to exhibit a slight dripping after use. This is not a defect but an indication that the under-sink water heater is functioning correctly by compensating for pressure changes. Do not attempt to overtighten the faucet to stop this dripping, as it is part of the system's normal operation.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your Eisl faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive liquid cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or cleaners containing alcohol, ammonia, or bleach, as these can damage the finish.
- Limescale Removal: For limescale deposits, use a mild descaling agent specifically designed for faucets. Follow the product instructions carefully and rinse thoroughly after use.
- Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator at the tip of the spout and clean any debris or mineral buildup. This helps maintain optimal water flow.
- Hose Inspection: Regularly check the flexible hoses under the sink for any signs of wear, kinks, or leaks.
Always dry the faucet after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.
