Image: Visual guide showing the four main steps for faucet installation.
- Prepare the Mounting Hole: Ensure the sink or countertop has a single mounting hole with a diameter of approximately 35mm. Insert the threaded rod of the faucet body into the mounting hole.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and plastic stabilizer onto the threaded rod.
- Tighten the Mounting Nut: Hand-tighten the mounting nut onto the threaded rod, then use an appropriate wrench to firmly secure the faucet to the sink or countertop. Ensure the faucet is properly aligned.
- Connect Water Hoses: Connect the hot (H) and cold (C) water supply hoses to the corresponding inlets on the faucet and to your household's hot and cold water lines. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
After installation, slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks. Run both hot and cold water through the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris.
Operating Instructions
Cold Start Function

The Ibergrif M22105W faucet features a Cold Start ceramic valve. When the handle is in the central (normal open) position, only cold water will flow. To access mixed or hot water, move the handle to the left. This design helps conserve energy by preventing the boiler from activating unnecessarily when only cold water is needed.
360° Swivel Spout

The high arc spout can rotate 360 degrees, allowing for flexible use across multiple sink basins or for moving the spout out of the way when not in use. Simply grasp the spout and gently turn it to the desired position.
Water Flow Control

The single lever handle controls both water temperature and flow. Lift the handle to increase flow and lower it to decrease. Move the handle left for warmer water and right for colder water (after the initial cold start position).
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.
- Cleaning the Surface: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or polishes, as these can damage the white painted finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases or becomes irregular, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris or mineral deposits, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Leak Checks: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections if necessary, but do not overtighten.
