Operating Instructions

Water Flow and Temperature Control

The SCHOCK Metis faucet features a single-lever mixer for controlling both water flow and temperature. Move the lever up to increase water flow and down to decrease it. Move the lever left for hot water and right for cold water.

Pull-Out Spray Function

The faucet is equipped with an extensible pull-out spray. Gently pull the spray head from the spout to extend it. The hose has a useful length of 400 mm, providing flexibility for various kitchen tasks. After use, guide the spray head back into the spout until it is fully seated.

Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your SCHOCK Metis kitchen faucet.

• Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or cleaners containing acids, ammonia, or bleach, as these can damage the finish.
• Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator at the tip of the spout and clean any mineral deposits or debris that may have accumulated. This helps maintain optimal water flow.
• Hose Inspection: Regularly check the pull-out spray hose for any signs of wear or damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your faucet, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator is clogged with debris or mineral deposits. Clean or replace it if necessary. Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
• Leaks: Verify that all connections are tight. If leaks persist, check the O-rings and seals for damage and replace if needed.
• Temperature Control Issues: Ensure both hot and cold water supply lines are connected correctly and fully open.
• Stiff Handle: Mineral buildup can cause the handle to become stiff. Cleaning around the cartridge area may resolve this.

For persistent problems, contact SCHOCK customer support or a qualified plumber.
