detergent may be used where necessary, and then the fitting rinsed thoroughly
and wiped dry. Abrasive cleaners, scouring cleaners and acid cleaners must not
be used under any circumstances. All bath cleaning powders and liquids will
damage the surface of your fitting even the non-scratch cleaners.
Avoid contact with all solvents and any harsh household chemicals. You will
damage the plated finish and void your guarantee.

Maintenance:
If the fitting begins to drip:
1) Turn off the water supply
2) Loosen grub screw under handle lever, remove handle and valve
3) Carefully clean seating, rubber washer and ceramic disc.
4) Replace valve and handle, then turn on the water supply.
5) If problem persist contact our help line quoting the product code.
Where an aerator is fitted to the outlet of the spout, it will need occasional cleaning.
This will be evident when the water flow slows down to an unacceptable level. To
accomplish this unscrew the outlet in an anti-clockwise direction and remove the
mesh. Immerse the mesh in a suitable descaling fluid overnight, rinse thoroughly in
clean water and re-install.
Remember:
Maximum water supply pressure: 75 PSI (5 bar)
Maximum hot-water supply temperature: 70 °C
Recommended hot-water supply temperature: 65 °C
If these temperatures or water pressure are exceeded damage to the tap can
result. A pressure reducing valve may be required to be fitted in high water
pressure situations.
Please read these instructions before you install and use the tap. All
designs, descriptions and dimensions are subject to change without notice.
Preparation
Flush the plumbing system before installing the mixer tap. This is to avoid
plumbing residues clogging the mesh of the aerated outlet, or possibly
damaging the valve’s washers. This is especially important where extensive
plumbing work has been carried out.
First shut off your water heating system then, with your mains stop cock closed,
open the lowest hot and cold taps in the house and allow to run until the cold
storage tank and pipes are empty. (The hot water storage cylinder always
remains full).
Installation
First screw the threaded stud into the mixer body. Screw the copper
tubes into the mixer body, and fully hand tighten.
Pass the rubber washer over the copper tubes and threaded stud to
form a seal on sink top.
Pass the copper tubes and fixing stud through the sink top from above,
and place the mixer in position on the sink with the cold (normally) on
the right hand side.
Slide the retaining plate up the copper tubes (ensuring that the raised
side is positioned downwards with the ‘O’ ring in place) and to secure,
screw the fixing nut finger tight. The ‘O’ ring will then fit between the
plate and the sink. Check that the mixer body is correctly positioned
and fully tighten fixing nut.
The copper tubes at this stage will need to be gently turned outwards,
then supported approximately half-way down and turned inwards,
making the two pipes parallel again but further apart thus making room
for the couplings to be fitted. It is recommended that 15mm x 15mm
compression fitting be used to connect mixer to supply pipes.
The use of capillary fittings could invalidate your warranty.
Hot water should be connected to the left when viewed from the front.
Having first checked all new connections, turn on the mains stop cock,
close all taps except the new mixer and as the system starts to refill
check for leaks.
