Installation Guide
This faucet is designed for single-hole, deck-mount installation. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare the Sink/Countertop: Ensure the mounting hole in your sink or countertop is clean and free of debris. The faucet requires a standard single hole for installation.
- Install the Faucet: Place the faucet base into the mounting hole. Ensure the rubber gasket is correctly positioned between the faucet base and the sink surface to prevent water leakage.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the metal washer and then the mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Tighten the nut securely using an appropriate wrench. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the flexible hot and cold water supply hoses (G 3/8" standard) to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened first, then gently tightened with a wrench.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for any signs of leakage. If leaks are detected, gently tighten the connections until the leak stops.
- Test Operation: Operate the faucet handle to ensure proper hot and cold water flow and temperature mixing. Allow water to run for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the new installation.
Operating Your Faucet
The Reginox Spring faucet features a single lever for easy control of water flow and temperature. The swivel spout allows for flexible use in your sink area.
- Water Flow Control: Lift the lever handle upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to decrease or shut off the flow.
- Temperature Control: Move the lever handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. Adjust the position to achieve your desired water temperature.
- Swivel Spout: The spout can be rotated to direct water flow as needed, providing convenience for various kitchen tasks.
This faucet is designed for economical consumption, providing efficient water usage without compromising performance.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the pristine appearance and functionality of your Reginox faucet, follow these simple care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or any cleaners containing bleach, acids, or alcohol. These can damage the stainless steel finish and internal components.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator at the tip of the spout may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator, clean any debris, and rinse it under running water before reattaching.
- Ceramic Cartridge: The faucet is equipped with a durable 35mm ceramic cartridge, designed for long-term, drip-free performance. If issues arise with water flow or temperature control, professional service may be required to inspect or replace the cartridge.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your faucet, refer to the table below for common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed shut-off valve; kinked supply line. | Clean the aerator; ensure shut-off valves are fully open; check supply lines for kinks. |
| Leaking from Spout | Worn ceramic cartridge. | Contact a qualified plumber for cartridge inspection or replacement. |
