4. Operating Instructions
The GROHE Zedra tap offers intuitive control and versatile functionality for various kitchen tasks.

4.2 Pull-Out Spray Head and Spray Types
Gently pull the spray head from the spout to extend the hose. The spray head offers three distinct spray patterns:
- Laminar Spray: A smooth, non-splashing stream, ideal for filling pots and delicate tasks. This is the default spray type when the tap is turned on.
- Powerful Jet Spray: A strong, concentrated spray for rinsing stubborn food residues or cleaning the sink.
- GROHE Blade Spray: A water-saving spray that is powerful yet reduces water consumption by up to 70%.
Press the button on the spray head to switch between spray types. The water flow can be temporarily paused by pressing the dedicated pause button on the spray head; release the button to resume flow. When finished, the spray head will automatically return to the laminar spray.

4.3 Magnetic Docking

5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GROHE Zedra tap.
5.1 Cleaning the Tap
- Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth to clean the tap's surface.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
5.2 Limescale Removal (GROHE SpeedClean)
The GROHE Zedra tap features SpeedClean silicone nozzles on the spray head. To remove limescale buildup, simply wipe the nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth. This allows for easy maintenance without the need for special tools or harsh descalers.
5.3 Cartridge Maintenance
The GROHE SilkMove ceramic cartridge is designed for long-lasting, smooth operation. If you notice any stiffness or dripping, it may indicate a need for professional inspection or cartridge replacement. Refer to the care instructions provided with your product for more details.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your GROHE Zedra tap. For complex problems, it is recommended to contact a qualified plumber or GROHE customer support.
6.1 Low Water Flow
- Check Water Supply: Ensure both hot and cold water supply valves are fully open.
- Clean Aerator/Nozzles: Limescale or debris can restrict flow. Clean the SpeedClean nozzles on the spray head as described in Section 5.2.
- Inspect Supply Lines: Check for kinks or obstructions in the water supply lines under the sink.
6.2 Leaks
- Check Connections: Ensure all water supply line connections are tight.
- Inspect O-rings/Seals: Over time, seals can wear out. If a leak persists from the spout or handle base, the internal O-rings or cartridge may need replacement. This typically requires professional service.
6.3 Spray Head Not Retracting Properly
- Check Counterweight: Ensure the counterweight on the pull-out hose under the sink is positioned correctly and not obstructed.
- Inspect Hose: Check the pull-out hose for kinks or damage that might impede its movement.
