Care Instructions for your Kitchen Sink Mixer:
To maintain the appearance of this tap, ensure that it is regularly cleaned only using a clean, soft damp cloth. A
solution of warm water and a mild liquid detergent may be used where necessary, and then the fitting rinsed
thoroughly and wiped dry. Any other cleaning action will invalidate your warranty.
Abrasive cleaners, scouring cleaners and acidic cleaners must not be used under any circumstances. Avoid
contact with all solvents (including chlorinated solvents, ketones or acetones as these may result in surface
deterioration or etching). Also avoid contact with any harsh household chemicals such as oven cleaners, drain
cleaners, rust removers, paint strippers and toilet bowl cleaners, bar keepers friend or Brasso.
Where the tap has a removable aerator on the spout exit it can be removed and cleaned periodically to maintain
optimum flow performance.
Important Technical Data:
Minimum operating pressure: 1.0 bar
Maximum hot water temperature: 70°C*
Maximum operating pressure: 5.5 bar*
Recommended hot water temperature: 46°C
Flow characteristics: Single flow
*If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for short periods, damage can result. In these instances a
thermostatic mixing or pressure reducing valve should be installed.
This product is either manufactured in accordance with recognised European standards. Please ensure that your
Kitchen mixer is fitted in accordance with Local Water Byelaws. Where hot and cold water mix within the mixertap,
then suitable non return (check) valves should be installed to the hot and cold supplies to prevent backflow.
Hot and cold supply pressures should be as closely balanced as possible for best results. Supply pipes should
maintain the maximum diameter until immediately before the fitting. The differential between the hot and cold water
supply temperatures should be sufficient to allow correct mixing function.
These installation guidelines have been prepared for your direction and you must exercise due care at all times.
We do not accept responsibility for problems that may occur through improper installation. Whilst assembling the
tap take care not to accidentally loosen any factory fixed assemblies.
This tap has been 100% assembly tested; therefore you may expect a small residual amount of water to remain in
the tap when delivered. Any water marks can be removed using the above care advice.

All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for completeness and transport damage prior to
installation.
Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to
remove any remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple procedure
could cause problems or damage to the workings of the mixertap and invalidate the warranty.
We recommend installing isolation valves and particle (mesh) filters to both the hot and cold feed pipes in an
accessible position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any future maintenance.
Shut off the water heating system and ensure that the mains stopcock is closed. Ensure both the hot and cold
water supplies are isolated before commencing installation.
This mixertap requires a ∅35mm tap hole, if replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the end of the feed
pipes using wire wool, the tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant. You should ensure that the product
will both fit into the depth of the mounting surface available and reach the required outlet positions before
installation.
Loosely position the tap and tail pipes to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is required, if this is the
case do this now.
Installation:
1. Screw in the fixing stud (D) into the base of the tap (A).
2. Place the base plinth (B) then upper seal (C) over the fixing stud (D) to the base of the tap body (A).
3. Screw the hot and cold flexible tail pipes (I & J) into the base of the tap body (A).
4. Place the mixertap onto the sink or worktop and pass the tail pipes (I & J) and fixing stud (D) through the
tap hole. With the tap in place check that the tail pipes (I & J) meet the hot and cold water feeds. If further
adjustment to the plumbing is required do this now.
5. Pass the lower gasket (F) and then the metal horseshoe (G) over the studded rod (D) and around the
flexible tail pipes (I & J). If fitting the tap to a stainless steel sink, the white triangular stabiliser (E) can be
placed where shown to help to stabilise the weight of the tap.
6. Fasten the fixing nut (H) securely onto the fixing stud (D) fixing the tap into its correct location.
7. Connect the hot & cold water tail pipes (I & J) to the water supplies using ½” BSP x 15mm compression
fittings or similar.

After installation:
Once you have visually checked the installation of the new tap and all connections, ensure that all other fittings are
closed except the new tap which should be left open.
Turn on your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is open. Reconnect both the hot and cold
water supplies to this fitting.
Check the function of flow and function of hot, cold and mixed water.
Turn off the tap and check carefully for any leaks around all connections on the fitting and adjoining plumbing.
If possible return to the installation after a longer period to double check for slower leaks. If pressure testing
equipment is available check the installation to the maximum recommended pressure.
Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then place a bag over the product to
protect the tap until it is ready for use.
The installation should be periodically checked for damage, if the property is left unattended for a prolonged period
we recommend isolating water supplies.
