ℹ️ Important: Installation must be carried out in accordance with industry regulations, such as Säker Vatteninstallation and EN 817.
⚠️ Safety First: Always switch off the main shut-off valve before changing the mixer tap.
Step 1: Sealing
Seal open surfaces with silicone to prevent water from penetrating the worktop upon any leaks.
Step 2: Connecting Hoses
Ensure the pipe connection is flat and free from sharp edges. Connect the flexible hoses. Do not overtighten hoses, pipes, or washers, as this can cause damage.
Usage and Maintenance
Before Use: Unscrew the aerator/flow guide. Allow water to run freely for a few minutes. Then, screw the aerator/flow guide back in place, ensuring it is tight to prevent removal by hand.
Maintenance: Check at regular intervals to make sure that the installation is not leaking.
