PREPARATION
Flush the plumbing system before installing the mixer faucet. This is
to avoid plumbing residues clogging the aerator, or possibly
damaging the ceramic valves. This is especially important where
extensive plumbing work has been carried out.
The Hot supply should be on the left when viewed from the front of
the fit ting.
It is essential to leave adequate access to the underside of the bath
to allow for maintenance.
CHECK LIST
! Temperature of the hot water supply does not exceed 185 F !
! Recommended minimum water supply pressure - 15 psi !
! Recommended maximum water supply pressure - 70 psi !
! Ideal water pressure is 55psi
! Ideal performance obtained with equal hot & cold pressures !

OPERATION
Ceramic disc valves are fitted as standard to this mixer faucet. Flow from
FULLY OFF to FULLY O is achieved by rotating the handles a quarter turn.
Diverting action is achieved by pulling up on the diverter knob. Higher water
pressures may make the diverting action difficult.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Occasional cleaning with warm soapy water, followed by a polish with a soft
cloth is all that is required to keep the plated finish in good condition.
Do not use proprietary abrasive liquids, powders, or pads to clean the
faucet. You will damage the plated finish and void your warranty.
The aerator at the outlet of the spout may need occasional cleaning. This is
accomplished by unscrewing the outlet in an counter-clockwise
direction, dismantling and leaving the inner screen mesh immersed
overnight in vinegar or lemon juice. DO NOT use chemical descaling
liquids for this purpose. Rinse thoroughly in clean water and re install.
DIVERTOR REPLACEMENT
Unscrew the divertor knob from the spindle by lifting the knob and
gripping the flats on the spindle with a 5mm spanner, then unscrew.
Undo the screw in the back of the nozzle using the hexagon key
provided.
Lift the nozzle off base ring and shank.
Unscrew top seating cage and remove.
Replace diverter plate sub-assembly’.
Reassemble the nozzle, check fitting carefully for leaks.
Reassemble the divertor knob.
