- Connect Water Supply:
Connect the flexible hot and cold water supply hoses from the tap to your angle valves. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten connections, but do not overtighten. Ensure the hot water line is connected to the left and the cold water line to the right, as typically indicated by markings on the hoses or tap.
- Install Pull-Out Spray Hose:
Feed the pull-out spray hose through the tap body and connect it to the designated outlet. Attach the counterweight to the hose below the sink to ensure smooth retraction of the spray head.
- Test for Leaks:
Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten connections slightly until they stop.
- Flush the System:
Run both hot and cold water through the tap for several minutes to flush out any debris from the water lines.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Water Flow and Temperature Control
The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Lift the handle to increase water flow. Move the handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water.
5.2 Pull-Out Spray Function
Gently pull the spray head from the spout to extend the hose. The spray head will retract automatically into the spout via the MagFit magnetic bracket when released.
5.3 Swivel Spout Function
The spout can be swiveled to various positions for increased flexibility. The swivel range can be adjusted to 60°, 110°, 150°, or 360° during installation or by a qualified technician.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the Tap
To maintain the finish of your hansgrohe tap, clean it regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid cleaners containing alcohol, hydrochloric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, or phosphoric acid.
6.2 QuickClean Function (Limescale Removal)
The aerator on the spout is equipped with hansgrohe's QuickClean technology. Limescale deposits can be easily removed by gently rubbing the silicone nozzles with your finger. This should be done regularly to maintain optimal spray performance.
This image highlights the QuickClean feature, illustrating how limescale can be easily wiped away from the silicone nozzles of the tap's aerator.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed shut-off valves; debris in water lines. | Clean the aerator using the QuickClean function. Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Flush water lines. |
| Leaking at connections | Loose connections; damaged seals. | Tighten connections carefully. Check and replace seals if damaged. |
| Water temperature inconsistent | Issue with water heater; cartridge malfunction. | Check water heater settings. If problem persists, contact a qualified plumber to inspect or replace the ceramic cartridge. |
| Pull-out spray does not retract smoothly | Hose obstruction; incorrect counterweight position. | Check under the sink for any obstructions to the hose. Ensure the counterweight is positioned correctly on the hose. |
