Setup and Installation
This faucet is designed for single-hole installation. Refer to the technical drawing for precise dimensions and mounting requirements.
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the sink or countertop has a single mounting hole with a diameter of approximately 35mm. The maximum countertop thickness should be 40mm.
- Install the Faucet Body: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Ensure the faucet is oriented correctly.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from your plumbing to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Use appropriate wrenches and ensure connections are tight but do not overtighten.
- Connect Pull-Out Hose: Attach the pull-out spray hose to the designated connection point on the faucet body. Ensure the hose weight is properly installed on the hose underneath the sink to allow for smooth retraction.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet to flush out any debris and ensure proper function.

Operating Instructions
The Dornbracht Elio features a single lever for controlling both water flow and temperature, along with a convenient pull-out spray function.
- Water Flow and Temperature Control:
The single lever operates the water flow and temperature. Lift the lever to increase water flow. Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. - Pull-Out Spray Function:
Gently pull the spray head from the spout to extend the hose. The spray head will retract automatically when released, thanks to the hose weight.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Dornbracht faucet, which features a Dark Chrome finish.
- Cleaning the Finish:
Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., ammonia, bleach, alcohol-based cleaners) as these can damage the Dark Chrome finish. - Aerator Maintenance:
If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout, clean any debris, and rinse under running water. Reattach securely. - General Inspection:
Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks or wear. Tighten connections if necessary, but do not overtighten.
