Setup and Installation
Professional installation is highly recommended for this concealed bidet set.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Wall: Create an opening in the wall according to the dimensions provided in the technical drawing to accommodate the concealed mixer body. Ensure adequate space for water supply lines.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the designated G1/2 inlets on the mixer body. The diagram indicates 'HOT G1/2' for the hot water connection. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight.
- Mount Mixer Body: Secure the mixer body firmly within the wall opening using appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure it is level and at the correct depth for the escutcheon.
- Install Escutcheon: Once the wall is finished (tiled, painted, etc.), attach the decorative escutcheon over the mixer body, ensuring it sits flush against the wall.
- Connect Bidet Hose and Sprayer: Attach one end of the flexible bidet hose to the outlet on the mixer body and the other end to the bidet sprayer head. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final quarter turn, being careful not to overtighten.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any signs of leakage. Address any leaks immediately.
Operating Instructions
The Sapho 1103-07 bidet set features a single joystick handle for intuitive control:
- Turning On/Off: Lift the joystick handle to turn on the water flow. Push it down to turn off.
- Adjusting Water Flow: The further you lift the handle, the stronger the water flow.
- Adjusting Water Temperature: Move the joystick handle left for hotter water and right for colder water. Find your desired temperature by adjusting the handle's horizontal position.
- Using the Sprayer: Once water is flowing from the mixer, press the button or lever on the bidet sprayer head to activate the spray. Release the button/lever to stop the spray.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your bidet set.
- Cleaning the Surface: Clean the chrome or finished surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, bleach, or phosphoric acid, as these can damage the finish.
- Sprayer Nozzle Cleaning: If the sprayer nozzle becomes clogged, gently clean it with a soft brush or a toothpick to remove mineral deposits.
- Hose Inspection: Periodically inspect the flexible hose for any signs of wear, kinks, or leaks. Replace if necessary.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your bidet set, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
