4. Setup and Installation

This section provides general guidance. Refer to the detailed diagrams and specific instructions included with the product packaging for precise installation steps. Professional installation is strongly recommended.

1. Prepare Installation Area: Ensure the wall cavity is prepared according to the dimensions specified in the product's technical drawings for the concealed mixer body.
2. Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the designated inlets on the mixer body. Ensure correct orientation (hot on left, cold on right, typically). Use appropriate sealing materials (e.g., PTFE tape) on threaded connections.
3. Connect Outlets: Connect the mixed water outlet to the bath filler or shower head connection. The automatic diverter will manage the flow between these two.
4. Secure Mixer Body: Secure the concealed mixer body firmly within the wall cavity using appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure it is level and at the correct depth relative to the finished wall surface.
5. Install Trim Set: Once the wall is finished, install the escutcheon plate, control lever, and diverter knob onto the concealed mixer body according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all components are seated correctly and tightened securely.
6. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and carefully check all connections for leaks. Operate the mixer to ensure proper water flow and temperature control.

5. Operating Instructions

The Gessi Rilievo mixer features a single lever for controlling water flow and temperature, and an automatic diverter for switching between bath and shower functions.

• Water Flow and Temperature:
  • To turn on the water, lift the single lever.
  • To increase flow, lift the lever further. To decrease flow, lower it.
  • To adjust temperature, pivot the lever left for hot water and right for cold water.
  • To turn off the water, push the lever down completely.
• Automatic Diverter:

  The diverter automatically switches water flow. When the water is turned on, it will typically flow to the bath filler. To switch to the shower, pull the diverter knob. The diverter will automatically return to the bath filler position when the water is turned off, or when water pressure drops significantly.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Gessi Rilievo mixer set.

• Cleaning the Surface:
  • Clean the Finox Optic surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing alcohol or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator at the spout (if applicable) may need cleaning. Unscrew the aerator, rinse out any debris, and reattach.
• Leak Checks: Periodically check for any signs of leaks around the connections. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water damage.
