5. Operating Instructions
The Fricosmos 061462 Lavamanos is designed for user-friendly, hands-free operation via its electronic presence sensor.
5.1 Activating Water Flow
To activate the water flow, simply place your hands within the detection range of the electronic sensor, typically located near the tap. The sensor will detect your presence and automatically initiate water flow.
5.2 Adjusting Water Temperature
The unit is equipped with an integrated mixer tap that allows for temperature regulation. Adjust the mixer lever (usually located on the side or top of the tap) to achieve your desired water temperature. Turn towards 'H' for hotter water and 'C' for colder water.
5.3 Deactivating Water Flow
Once you remove your hands from the sensor's detection area, the water flow will automatically cease after a brief delay. This feature helps conserve water.
6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity, hygienic operation, and optimal performance of your Fricosmos 061462 Lavamanos.
6.1 Daily Cleaning
- Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the polished finish.
- Dry the surfaces thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
6.2 Sensor and Tap Cleaning
Gently clean the electronic sensor window and the tap spout with a soft, damp cloth. Do not spray water directly onto the sensor or electrical components. Ensure the sensor window is free from dirt or residue that could interfere with its operation.
