Package Contents
Please ensure all components are present before beginning installation:
- 1 x Steinberg 100 Series Basin Mixer Faucet (Model 1001010S)
- 2 x Flexible connection hoses (G 3/8")
- Mounting hardware (nuts, washers, seals)
- Installation instructions
Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended. Before installation, ensure the water supply is turned off. This faucet requires a single tap hole for mounting.
Required Tools (not included):
- Adjustable wrench
- Screwdriver
- Sealant tape (PTFE tape)
- Bucket and cloth for spills
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Basin: Ensure the mounting surface is clean and dry. The basin should have a single tap hole with a diameter suitable for the faucet's base.
- Connect Hoses: Screw the flexible G 3/8" connection hoses into the base of the faucet. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet's threaded rod and hoses through the tap hole in the basin. From underneath the basin, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and then the mounting nut onto the threaded rod.
- Secure the Faucet: Align the faucet correctly on the basin and tighten the mounting nut securely with a wrench.
- Connect to Water Supply: Connect the flexible hoses to the hot and cold water supply lines. Use sealant tape on the threads of the supply lines for a watertight seal. Ensure the hot and cold connections are correct (typically red for hot, blue for cold).
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections slightly.

Operating Instructions
The Steinberg 100 Series Basin Mixer Faucet features a single lever for controlling both water flow and temperature.
- Water Flow: Lift the lever upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to decrease flow and turn off the water.
- Temperature Control: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The ceramic cartridge ensures smooth and precise temperature adjustment.
The integrated aerator ensures a soft, splash-free water stream and helps conserve water.
Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Steinberg faucet, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for bathroom fixtures. Avoid using abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the matte black finish.
- Drying: After cleaning, always dry the faucet thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes weak or uneven, the aerator may be clogged with mineral deposits. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean it under running water, and remove any debris. Reinstall the aerator securely.
- Ceramic Cartridge: The ceramic cartridge is designed for long-lasting, drip-free performance. If you experience persistent dripping or difficulty in adjusting temperature, it may indicate a need for cartridge replacement. This should be performed by a qualified professional.
