Product Assembly
Step 1:
The faucet is shown with the threaded rod (120143) inserted through the mounting hole.
Step 2:
Seal the open surfaces with silicone to prevent water from penetrating the worktop upon any leaks. Ensure the silicone sealant is water- and mould-resistant and suitable for the installation, according to EN 15651-3, Class XS1.
The hole in the worktop should be between 34-37 mm (1 3/8" - 1 1/2") in diameter.
The maximum thickness of the worktop is 50 mm (2").
Parts used in this step: 120141, 120142, 126908 (silicone gun), 120172.
Step 3:
Attach the faucet to the worktop using the provided parts. Ensure the pipe connection is flat and free from sharp edges. Use a wrench to tighten the nut.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten. This can damage hoses/pipes and washers.
Step 4:
Before use: Unscrew the Aerator/Flow Guide with a coin and allow the water to run freely for a few minutes. Then screw the Aerator/Flow Guide back in place up to the stop. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Step 5:
Check at regular intervals to make sure that the installation is not leaking.
