1. Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the bidet basin is clean and ready. Turn off the main water supply to the bathroom.
2. Mount the Mixer: Insert the bidet mixer into the designated hole on the bidet basin. Secure it from underneath using the provided mounting hardware (washer, gasket, and nut). Ensure the mixer is firmly in place and properly aligned.
3. Connect Water Hoses: Attach the 3/8 inch connection hoses to the hot and cold water inlets on the underside of the mixer. Connect the other ends of the hoses to the corresponding hot and cold water supply lines. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter turn, being careful not to overtighten.
4. Install the Waste: Insert the 1 1/4 inch waste into the drain hole of the bidet basin. Secure it from underneath with its gasket and nut, ensuring a watertight seal. Connect the waste to the bidet's drain pipe.
5. Test for Leaks: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are detected, tighten the connections carefully.
6. Flush the System: Open the mixer handle to allow water to flow for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the pipes.

5. Operating Instructions

The Gessi Rettangolo K bidet mixer 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 or shut off the flow.
• Water Temperature: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. Adjust the position between left and right to achieve the desired water temperature.

6. Maintenance and Care

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

• Cleaning: Clean the mixer regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive 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 matte black finish.
• Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew and clean the aerator (if applicable) to remove any mineral deposits or debris that may affect water flow.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check all connections for tightness and signs of wear.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Low Water Flow:
  • Check if the main water supply is fully open.
  • Clean the aerator for mineral buildup or debris.
  • Inspect connection hoses for kinks.
• Leaks from Connections:
  • Ensure all connections are properly tightened. Do not overtighten.
  • Check gaskets and O-rings for proper seating and damage. Replace if necessary.
• Difficulty Adjusting Temperature:
  • Verify that both hot and cold water supplies are active.
  • If the issue persists, professional inspection of the cartridge may be required.
