Recommendations for Installation

⚠️ ATTENTION: Failure to follow these recommendations may void the warranty. It is recommended that a qualified, licensed tradesperson install this product.

Water Pressure

Visual: A pressure gauge illustration showing a range from Min 1 to Max 5, with a recommended setting around 3 bar. [Shows a gauge with markings for Min 1 and Max 5, and a checkmark ✔️ at 3 bar].
Specification: Water Pressure: 3 bar.
Product performance cannot be guaranteed if pressure is less than 1 bar. Above 5 bar, a pressure regulator must be installed. Failure to do so voids the product warranty.

Water Temperature

Visual: Thermometer illustrations indicating a maximum of 70°C and a recommended range between 45°C and 65°C. [Shows thermometers with markings for Max 70°C, 60°C, and 45°C, with checkmarks ✔️].
Specification: Water Temperature: 45°-65°C.

Stop Taps/Filters

Visual: Diagram illustrating water supply lines with angle valves or filters. [Shows water pipes connecting to a mixer, with angle valves depicted].
Angle valves and/or filters are recommended to prevent impurities and debris entering the mixer.

Pre-Flush

Visual: Diagram showing water flushing from pipes into buckets. [Shows water flow from pipes into two buckets].
Always flush out the pipework before connecting any tapware. Failure to do so voids the product warranty.

Flexible Hoses

Visual: Diagrams showing correct and incorrect flexible hose connections and bending. [Shows correct hose connections with checkmarks ✔️ and incorrect, kinked hoses with crosses ❌].
Before installation, check that both end fittings of the flexible hoses are well tightened/crimped. If in doubt, do not install the flexible hose.

Hose Bending Requirements:

• Ensure a straight section of the flexible hose from the hose crimp of at least 1.5-2 times the external (ED) diameter of the hose before any bends. Visual: Diagram shows a straight section before a bend with measurement 1.5-2x ED.
• Hand tighten flexi-hoses only. Do not use a spanner with excessive force. Visual: Illustration of hand tightening a hose fitting, with a spanner crossed out ❌.
• Flexible hose bending radius (BR) should be less than four times the external (ED) diameter of the hose. Do not install with any tension, twists, pinch points, or sharp bends/kinks. Visual: Diagram shows a bend with radius indicator BR 4x ED, and a cross mark ❌ indicating this is too tight.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning

Visual: Illustration of a hand cleaning a mixer tap with a cloth. [Shows a hand holding a cloth and wiping a tap].
Clean with warm soapy water and a smooth cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or detergents as these will damage the finish.

Aerator Maintenance

Visual: Illustration showing the removal and cleaning of a tap aerator. [Shows aerator components being disassembled].
Remove the aerator, either with a spanner or an aerator cartridge key. Immerse for half a day in water-vinegar solution (80-20%). Wash, then reassemble.

Cartridge Replacement

Visual: Exploded diagram of cartridge components: handle, dome, locking nut, cartridge. Numbered 1-4. [Shows parts labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 in order of removal].
Before you start, turn off the water supply to the mixer.

1. Remove the handle.
2. Unscrew the dome (hand tightened).
3. Unscrew the locking nut.
4. Remove the cartridge.

Installation Steps

1. Step 1: Insert the flexible hoses (remembering to hand-tighten only) and the threaded fixing rods.
   Visual: Diagram showing flexible hoses with threaded fixing rods being inserted into the base of the mixer. Arrows indicate insertion direction. [Shows hoses and rods being pushed into mixer base].
2. Step 2: Insert the mixer unit/hoses into the taphole.
   Visual: Diagram showing the mixer unit, with hoses attached, being lowered into a taphole in a countertop or basin. [Shows mixer being placed into a hole].
3. Step 3: Slide on the rubber gasket and the metal fixing plate, and wind on the fixing nuts. While holding the mixer in place, tighten the nuts using a wrench.
   Visual: Diagram showing a rubber gasket and metal fixing plate being placed onto the threaded rods from below the basin, followed by fixing nuts. An illustration of a wrench tightening these nuts is also shown. [Shows gasket, plate, nuts, and wrench].

   ⚠️ Do not over-tighten - this will crack the basin.
