Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps for assembly:
- Step 1: Rotate the spout 90 degrees.
- Step 2: Insert the hose and secure it by pushing the connector until it clicks.
- Step 3: Seal the open surfaces with silicone sealant to prevent water penetration into the worktop. Silicone sealant is not included. The sealant must be water- and mould-resistant and suitable for installation according to EN 15651-3, Class XS1. Ensure the hole diameter is between 34-37 mm (1 3/8 - 1 1/2 inches) and the maximum worktop thickness is 55 mm (2 3/16 inches). For the second tap, ensure the hole diameter is between 34-37 mm (1 3/8 - 1 1/2 inches) and the maximum thickness for the sealing is 3 mm (1/8 inch). ⚠️
- Step 4: Connect the hoses. Ensure connections are secure with a 'click'.
- Step 5: Attach the weight to the pull-out hose.
- Step 6: Important: Do not overtighten connections, as this can damage hoses, pipes, and washers. ⚠️ Ensure the pipe connection is flat and free from sharp edges.
- Step 7: Before use, unscrew the aerator/flow guide with a coin, let water run for a few minutes, then screw the aerator/flow guide back in place. Do not overtighten. ?
- Step 8: Rotate the mixer tap handle to check the 120° range of motion.
- Step 9: Regularly check that the installation is not leaking. ?
