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. 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
finish and void your guarantee.

MAINTENANCE
REMEMBER
PARTS LIST MARINER
Ref. MAL10
IF THE FITTING BEGINS TO DRIP
1Turn off the water supply
2Loosen grub screw under handle lever,remove handle and valve
3Carefully clean seating, rubber washer and ceramic disc
4Replace valve and handle, then turn on the water supply
5If problem persists contact our helpline 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 throughly in clean water and re-install.
Maximum water supply pressure 5 bar (75PSI) Minimum water supply pressure 0.5 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.
PREPARATION
We strongly recommend installing particle filters and isolation valves to both hot and cold feeds.
This willhelp to prevent premature failure of valves and make any future maintenence easier.
Flush the plumbing system before installing the mixer tap. This is to void 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
It is very important that you read through the following instructions
BEFORE you install and use the tap.
Slide the base ring and seal (Ster0040) up the pre fitted tails and pipe and locate into the base of the
tap.
Pass the hoses and threaded shank through the tap hole from above and place the mixer in position
on the sink or counter.
Slide the flat washers and fixing nut up the flexible hoses as pictured. Then screw the nut all the way
up making sure the tap is in the correct position. Then tighten the locking screw.
(Note:The thickness of sink >35mm no need to use the mounting seat.)
Connect the check valve to the 3 way tee first, and then to the cold end flexible hose using the seal
provided.
Connect The three-way tee (Ster0011) to the cold mains using a 15mm compression isolation valve.
Install the twist lock head to the cupboard carcass leaving adequate room for the filter to be
attached and removed.
Install the twist lock cartridge.
Connect the ¼" tube with push fit connector to the tee and the filter inlet. Then connect the remaining
¼'' tube coming from the tap to the out let of the filter head.
Connect the john guest isolation valve to the 1/4 tubing going to the filter inlet. If using a flow pro, install
the unit after the filter, before the tap.
Having first checked all the 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.
FOR BEST RESULTS
Run off around 5 litres of water from the filter line prior to drinking.
Reduce the filter water flow to around 2 litres per minute by adjusting the John guest isolation valve.
This will maximise the filter contact time.
The filter must be changed at least every 12 months. We suggest changing the cartridge every
6 months in normal household usage (filter life 4000 litres usage).
Other filter systems & water softeners can be used in conjunction with this tap. Make sure that the
filter line isn’t over pressurised, as this filter line is only design for a maximum of 4 litres per minute
and may fail if over pressurised. Install a pressure reducing valve in such instances.
