Setup and Installation
The Hansgrohe Vernis Shape M35 Kitchen Tap is designed for stand-mounting with a 1-hole installation. A minimum tap hole diameter of 32 mm is required.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the sink or countertop has a suitable 1-hole opening. Clean the area thoroughly.
- Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve and turn off both hot and cold water supplies to the kitchen area.
- Mount the Tap: Insert the tap into the tap hole. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided shaft attachment and fixing set. Ensure the tap is oriented correctly.
- Connect Water Hoses: Connect the flexible G ⅜ connection hoses to the corresponding hot and cold water supply lines. Use appropriate tools to tighten connections, but do not overtighten. Ensure hoses are certified for drinking water (DN15).
- Set Swivel Area: During installation, you can define the swivel area of the spout to 110°, 150°, or 360° according to your preference and sink configuration. Refer to the detailed diagrams in the printed assembly instructions for specific steps on adjusting the swivel limiter.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are detected, tighten the connections further.
- Flush the System: Before first use, open the tap and let water run for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the new installation.
Operating Instructions
The Hansgrohe Vernis Shape M35 Kitchen Tap features a single lever for controlling both water flow and temperature.
- Water Flow Control: Lift the lever upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to decrease or stop the flow.
- Temperature Control: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The ceramic mixer system allows for precise temperature adjustments.
- AirPower Technology: The tap incorporates AirPower technology, which enriches the water with air. This creates a softer, fuller water jet with reduced splash, enhancing comfort and efficiency.
- Swivel Spout: The spout can be swiveled within the pre-set range (110°, 150°, or 360°) to direct water where needed in the sink.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Hansgrohe kitchen tap.
- Cleaning the Chrome Finish: Clean the chrome surface regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use cleaners containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid, chlorine bleach, or acetic acid, as these can damage the finish. Avoid abrasive sponges or brushes.
- Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator at the end of the spout and clean any mineral deposits or debris. This helps maintain optimal water flow.
- Ceramic Cartridge: The high-quality ceramic mixer system is designed for long-lasting, smooth operation and typically requires no user maintenance.
