Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BLANCO WEGA II Kitchen Tap.

Cleaning the Chrome Finish:

• Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Ceramic Cartridge:

The tap is equipped with a durable ceramic cartridge, which is designed for long-lasting, drip-free performance. No specific user maintenance is required for the cartridge itself. In case of persistent drips or flow issues, professional service may be required.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BLANCO WEGA II Kitchen Tap, consider the following common solutions:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the main water supply valve is fully open. Inspect the aerator at the spout for any debris or mineral buildup; clean if necessary.
• Leaks: Ensure all connections are securely tightened. If leaks persist from the tap body, the internal seals or cartridge may require professional inspection.
• Temperature Issues: Verify that both hot and cold water supplies are active. If the temperature control is inconsistent, the ceramic cartridge might need checking by a professional.
