Setup and Installation

This faucet is designed for wall-mounted installation. While a register box is not required, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper function and prevent leaks. Ensure you have the necessary tools and plumbing knowledge before proceeding.

Before Installation:

• Turn off the main water supply to your bathroom.
• Clear the installation area and ensure you have enough space to work.
• Inspect all components for any damage before starting.

Installation Steps (General Guide):

1. Prepare Wall Openings: Create the necessary openings in the wall for the hot and cold water lines and the faucet's internal components, according to the dimensions provided in the technical diagram.
2. Install Internal Components: Connect the flexible Tucai hoses to the water supply lines. Secure the internal mixing unit and water connections within the wall.
3. Mount Spout and Handle Modules: Once the internal plumbing is secure and tested for leaks, attach the external spout and handle modules to their respective wall connections. Ensure they are level and securely fastened.
4. Connect Handle: Connect the single-lever handle to the ceramic cartridge, ensuring smooth operation.
5. Test Faucet: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check for any leaks around the connections. Operate the faucet to ensure proper water flow and temperature control.

Note: Specific plumbing configurations may vary. Consult a qualified plumber if you are unsure about any step of the installation process.

Operating Instructions

The IMEX Fiyi GLF016 faucet features a single-lever design for easy control of water flow and temperature.

• Turning On/Off: Lift the lever handle to turn on the water. Push it down to turn off the water.
• Adjusting Water Flow: The further you lift the lever, the greater the water flow.
• Adjusting Temperature: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The central position provides mixed water.

Familiarize yourself with the handle's movement to achieve your desired water temperature and flow.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and aesthetic appeal of your IMEX Fiyi faucet. Follow these guidelines for optimal care:

1. Regular Cleaning: After each use, wipe away any water or soap residue from the faucet surface with a soft cotton cloth. This prevents water spots and preserves the finish. Avoid abrasive sponges or brushes, as they can scratch the surface.
2. Preventing Limescale: Limescale deposits can damage the chrome finish. It is crucial to dry the faucet after each use to prevent calcification. If limescale builds up, especially in corners and joints, use a mild cleaner based on citric acid. Do not spray the concentrated cleaner directly onto the faucet; instead, apply it to a cloth and then wipe the faucet.
3. Aerator Cleaning: The aerator can be easily removed for cleaning. Submerge it in hot water with a little cleaner for about ten minutes to dissolve deposits.
4. Rinsing: After cleaning, thoroughly rinse the faucet with clean water.
5. Final Polish: Repeat the first step by wiping the faucet with a soft, dry cotton cloth to remove any remaining cleaning product and restore a brilliant finish.
6. Bathroom Ventilation: Regularly ventilate your bathroom to prevent condensation, humidity, and the accumulation of methane gas from drains, which can affect the faucet's environment.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your faucet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Low Water Pressure:
  • Check if the main water supply is fully open.
  • Clean the aerator (refer to Maintenance section). Mineral deposits can restrict water flow.
  • Inspect the water supply lines for kinks or blockages.
• Leaking Faucet:
  • Ensure all connections are tightened properly (do not overtighten).
  • A dripping faucet often indicates a worn ceramic cartridge. Contact customer support for replacement parts or professional assistance.
• Difficulty Adjusting Temperature:
  • Verify that both hot and cold water supplies are open.
  • If the issue persists, the ceramic cartridge might need inspection or replacement.

For problems not listed here or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
