Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully for proper installation. Ensure the main water supply is turned off before starting.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the sink or countertop has a single mounting hole of the appropriate diameter (refer to Figure 2 for exact dimensions, typically Ø34mm). Clean the area thoroughly to ensure a flat and stable mounting surface.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole. From underneath the sink, place the rubber washer, then the metal washer, and finally thread the fixing nut onto the threaded rod. Tighten the fixing nut firmly using the appropriate tool, but do not overtighten. The GROHE FastFixation Plus system is designed for rapid and secure installation.
- Connect Water Supply: Attach the flexible 3/8 inch connection hoses from the faucet to your hot and cold water supply lines. Ensure a watertight seal by hand-tightening, then use a wrench for a final quarter turn. Do not overtighten. The GROHE Zero technology ensures these internal water channels are lead-free and nickel-free.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Carefully inspect all connections for any signs of leakage. If leaks are detected, immediately turn off the water supply and tighten the affected connections.
- Test Operation: Once all connections are secure and leak-free, operate the single lever to test water flow and temperature adjustment for both hot and cold water.

Operating Instructions
The GROHE Eurosmart Single-Lever Sink Mixer is designed for intuitive and comfortable operation.
- Water Flow Control: Lift the single lever handle upwards to increase water flow. Push the lever 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 integrated temperature limiter helps prevent accidental scalding by restricting the maximum hot water temperature.
- Spout Swivel: The tubular spout can be smoothly swiveled up to 150° to direct water flow precisely where needed within the sink area.
- Ecological Flow Limiter: This faucet is equipped with an ecological flow limiter, which helps conserve water by reducing the maximum flow rate without compromising performance.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GROHE Eurosmart faucet.
- Cleaning the Chrome Finish: Use only a soft cloth and mild soap or a specialized chrome cleaner. Wipe gently and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the luster of the GROHE StarLight chrome finish.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaners containing alcohol, ammonia, or phosphoric acid, as these can permanently damage the chrome finish.
- Aerator Cleaning: If water flow becomes restricted or uneven, the aerator (mousseur) may need cleaning. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, rinse any accumulated debris or mineral deposits, and reattach it securely.
- Cartridge Maintenance: The 35 mm GROHE SilkMove ceramic disc cartridge is designed for durability and smooth operation. If dripping occurs or the lever becomes stiff, the cartridge may require inspection or replacement by a qualified professional.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your faucet.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed stopcock; debris in water lines. | Clean the aerator. Ensure stopcocks for hot and cold water are fully open. Flush water lines by removing hoses and running water into a bucket. |
| Leaking from Spout | Worn or damaged ceramic cartridge. | Contact a qualified plumber for cartridge inspection or replacement. |
| Leaking at Connections | Loose connections; damaged seals or O-rings. | Turn off water supply. Tighten connections. Inspect and replace seals or O-rings if damaged. |
| Difficulty Adjusting Temperature | Integrated temperature limiter setting; issue with hot or cold water supply. | Consult a plumber to check the temperature limiter setting or verify proper hot/cold water supply to the faucet. |
