5. Operating Instructions
Your hansgrohe Rebris S basin mixer is designed for intuitive and efficient use.
5.1 Single Lever Operation
The single lever controls both water flow and temperature. Move the lever up to increase flow and down to decrease it. Move the lever left for hot water and right for cold water.
5.2 CoolStart Technology
The CoolStart feature ensures that only cold water flows when the lever is in the middle position. This prevents the unnecessary activation of your water heater, saving energy and money.
5.3 EcoSmart+ Water Saving
The EcoSmart+ technology limits the water flow to approximately 4 liters per minute (at 3 bar pressure), which is 20% less than standard hansgrohe EcoSmart models. This significantly reduces water consumption without compromising comfort.
5.4 AirPower Technology
AirPower enriches the water with air, creating a softer, fuller, and lighter water jet. This results in less splashing and a more pleasant experience.
5.5 Pop-up Waste Operation
The integrated pop-up waste is operated by a small rod located at the back of the faucet. Push down to close the drain and pull up to open it.
5.6 Adjustable Temperature Limiter
The mixer includes an adjustable temperature limiter to prevent excessively hot water. Consult the detailed installation instructions for how to adjust this setting.
6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hansgrohe basin mixer.
6.1 Cleaning the Faucet
Clean the matte black finish with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaners containing alcohol, acids, or abrasive particles, as these can damage the surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
6.2 Aerator Descaling and Replacement
The aerator can be easily removed for cleaning and descaling. Use a coin to unscrew the aerator from the spout. Soak it in a descaling solution (e.g., vinegar and water) to remove limescale deposits. Rinse thoroughly and reattach. The aerator can also be quickly replaced if necessary.
6.3 Ceramic Cartridge
The mixer is equipped with a durable ceramic cartridge, designed for smooth and reliable operation. In case of persistent drips or stiffness, the cartridge may require professional inspection or replacement.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your basin mixer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Clogged aerator, partially closed shut-off valves, low water pressure | Clean or replace aerator (see Section 6.2). Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Check household water pressure. |
| Leaking from spout | Worn ceramic cartridge, debris in cartridge | Contact a qualified plumber for cartridge inspection or replacement. |
| Leaking at connections | Loose connections, damaged seals | Tighten connections carefully. Replace seals if damaged. Ensure proper use of sealing tape/compound. |
| No hot/cold water | Supply valves closed, issue with water heater, incorrect temperature limiter setting | Check hot/cold water supply valves. Verify water heater operation. Adjust temperature limiter if necessary. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact hansgrohe customer support or a qualified plumber.
