4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. If you are unsure about any steps, consult a qualified plumber.

4.1 Tools Required:

• Phillips screwdriver
• Adjustable wrench
• Safety glasses
• Flashlight
• Towel and bucket (for flushing lines)

4.2 Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Faucet: Attach the foam gasket to the base of the faucet, ensuring the sticky side is facing up. Feed the supply lines through the gasket.
2. Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet's supply lines through the mounting hole in your sink. Secure the faucet from underneath the sink using the washer and mounting nut. Hand-tighten first, then use a Phillips screwdriver to fully secure the mounting screws.
3. Connect Supply Lines: Connect the PEX supply lines to your hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure the blue-marked line connects to cold water and the red-marked line connects to hot water. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for one additional revolution. If there is excess tubing, loop it (no less than 8 inches across) or create a spiral pattern.
4. Flush Supply Lines: Before connecting the sprayer hose, ensure the faucet is in the off position. Slowly turn on both hot and cold water supplies to flush the lines for about 30 seconds. Check for any leaks at the connections.
5. Connect Sprayer Hose: Feed the sprayer hose through the sprayer weight. Push the end of the sprayer hose onto the outlet tube until it clicks. Secure it with the blue clip. Give a gentle tug to ensure a secure connection.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your GROHE Blue faucet system.

6.1 Filter Replacement:

The filter should be replaced periodically based on usage and water hardness. The faucet's app will notify you when a replacement is due.

6.2 CO2 Tank Replacement:

When the CO2 tank is empty, the system will indicate a need for replacement. Ensure you have a new CO2 tank ready.

6.3 Handle Calibration:

If the LED knob's color indications for water types become inaccurate, you may need to recalibrate the handle.

6.4 Cleaning:

Clean the Supersteel Infinity Finish with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your faucet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No water flow: Check if the main water supply is on and if the supply lines are properly connected and not kinked.
• Leaking: Ensure all connections are tightened correctly. If leaks persist, check the O-rings and gaskets for damage.
• No chilled/sparkling water: Verify that the filter and CO2 tank are correctly installed and not empty. Check the chiller unit's power supply.
• Low water pressure: Check the water supply valves are fully open. Clean the aerator for any debris.
• Error codes: Consult the full GROHE Blue manual or contact GROHE customer support for specific error code interpretations.
