Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions:
- Wear Protective Gloves: Always wear gloves during the installation process to prevent injuries such as pinching or cuts.
- Intended Use: This product is designed exclusively for bathing, personal hygiene, and body cleansing purposes.
- Water Pressure Balancing: Ensure that any significant pressure differences between the cold and hot water supply lines are equalized before installation.
Installation Instructions
Follow these guidelines for proper installation:
- The faucet must be installed, flushed, and tested in accordance with all applicable norms and regulations.
- EcoSmart® Removal: If you encounter issues with continuous flow water heaters or require a higher water flow rate, the EcoSmart® flow limiter, located behind the aerator, can be removed.
- Water Heater Compatibility: Hansgrohe faucets are compatible with hydraulically and thermally controlled continuous flow water heaters, provided the water flow pressure is a minimum of 0.15 MPa.

Symbol Explanations
Key symbols and their meanings are explained below:
- Hot Water Limiter (38° symbol): This symbol relates to the adjustment of the hot water limiter on single-lever mixers. Detailed adjustment instructions can be found on page 33. Note that a hot water limiter is not necessary when using a continuous flow water heater.
- Silicone Advisory: Do not use silicone sealants that contain acetic acid.
- Dimensions: Technical drawings showing product dimensions are available on page 34.
- Flow Diagram: Page 34 includes flow diagrams illustrating water flow rates. Curve ① represents flow with EcoSmart®, and curve ② represents flow without EcoSmart®.
- Spare Parts: A list of available spare parts can be found on page 36.
- Operation: Instructions for operating the faucet are provided on page 35.
- Cleaning: Refer to the accompanying brochure for detailed cleaning instructions.
- Assembly/Installation: Step-by-step installation guidance is provided on page 31.
Installation Diagrams (Textual Description)
The following provides a textual description of the visual installation steps shown in the diagrams:
- Diagram 1 (Page 31): Shows the main faucet body (part number 13622180) and the initial connection to the wall plumbing. It illustrates the placement of seals or adapters.
- Diagram 2 (Page 31): Indicates a measurement, likely for precise alignment or clearance, showing "1 mm".
- Diagram 3 (Page 31): Depicts the process of attaching the faucet handle or lever to the main body.
- Diagram 4 (Page 31): Illustrates the use of a specific tool, an Allen key (SW 17 mm), for securing a component.
- Diagram 5 (Page 31): Shows a part being inserted and secured, with an adjustable range indicated by "X" and a measurement.
- Diagram 6 (Page 32): Provides a measurement related to pipe or hose length, specified as "15 + X + 30 mm".
- Diagram 7 (Page 32): Shows a component, possibly a cartridge, aerator, or a connecting fitting.
- Diagram 8 (Page 32): Demonstrates the use of an Allen key (SW 8 mm) for tightening a specific part during assembly.
- Diagram 9 (Page 32): Details the assembly of the faucet spout and associated parts, indicating the use of tools like SW 30 mm and SW 17 mm, and a recommended installation depth range of 25-29 mm.
- Diagram 10 (Page 32): Focuses on the installation of the cartridge and handle, showing tightening with a wrench (SW 30 mm) and specifying a torque value of "14 ±1 Nm".
- Diagram 11 (Page 32): Outlines the final assembly of the handle, detailing sequential steps (1, 2, 3, 4) with specific tool sizes (SW 2.5 mm, SW 4 mm) and torque specifications (4 Nm, 5 Nm).
- Diagrams on Page 33: These diagrams illustrate temperature settings (e.g., 60°C, 10°C) and pressure readings (e.g., 0.3 MPa). They also show detailed steps (1-7) for adjusting the hot water limiter using specific tools (4 mm) and torque (5 Nm).
- Diagrams on Page 34: This page contains technical drawings with precise dimensions for the various faucet models (Talis S2, Metris S, Metris Classic). It also features a flow rate graph comparing water flow (Q) against water pressure. Two curves are presented: Curve ① represents the flow rate when using EcoSmart®, and Curve ② represents the flow rate without EcoSmart®.
Faucet Operation
The faucet is operated using a single lever. The lever controls both water flow and temperature. The terms for opening and closing the water flow are provided in multiple languages within the original document. The handle can be moved to select cold or hot water and to adjust the flow rate.
