Step 4: Connect Water Supply Hoses
- Connect the hot water supply hose (marked with red) to the hot water shut-off valve.
- Connect the cold water supply hose (marked with blue) to the cold water shut-off valve.
- Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to secure.
Step 5: Test for Leaks
Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.
Operating Instructions
The Ibergrif M14150 Roma Kitchen Tap features a single lever handle for controlling both water flow and temperature.
- Water Flow: Lift the lever handle upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to decrease or stop the flow.
- Water Temperature: Move the lever handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. Adjust the position between left and right to achieve the desired temperature.
- Spout Rotation: The high spout can rotate 360 degrees, providing flexibility for various sink tasks.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your tap.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome finish with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator from the spout tip and clean any mineral deposits or debris. This helps maintain optimal water flow.
