IKEA HAMNSKÄR Wash-Basin Mixer Tap
Important Safety Information
Installation must be performed in compliance with current local construction and plumbing regulations. If in doubt, contact a professional.
Before use: Unscrew the Aerator/Flow Guide and allow the water to run freely for a few minutes. Then screw the Aerator/Flow Guide back in place. Ensure that it is tight to prevent removal by hand.
