Setup and Installation

- Mount the Washbasin: Securely attach the washbasin to the wall using appropriate fasteners (included). Ensure it is level and stable.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the washbasin's inlets. The included mixing T-valve allows for temperature regulation. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

Operating Instructions
This washbasin features a knee-operated, non-timed push-button mechanism for water activation.
- Water Activation: Gently press the knee-operated push-button with your knee. Water will flow from the faucet as long as the button is depressed.
- Water Temperature Regulation: The mixing T-valve allows you to adjust the water temperature. This adjustment is typically done during installation or maintenance and not during regular operation. Consult a professional if temperature adjustment is required.
- Water Flow: The water flow stops when the knee-operated push-button is released.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care ensures the longevity and hygiene of your Fricosmos washbasin.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive sponges, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the stainless steel finish.
- Drying: After cleaning, dry the surface with a clean, dry cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
- Drain Maintenance: Periodically check the drain for blockages and clean as necessary to ensure proper water flow.
