Maintenance
Inlet Filters.
Depending on the water quality, lters may become dirty, causing reduced ow and
inecient working of the valve.
Shut o the water supply to both inlets at the isolating valves.
Undo both locking nuts at the back of the valve and remove. Remove the lter, rinse in
water to remove the dirt, and then soak them in vinegar or descaling agent.
Replace the valve and turn the water back on.
Please read these instructions carefully before starting installation and keep for future
reference.
Remove all packaging and check the product for missing parts or damage before
starting installation.
Any alterations made to this product and ttings may infringe water regulations and
will invalidate the guarantee.
The installation must comply with all Local/National Water Supply Authority
Regulations/Byelaws and Building and Plumbing (UK:BS6700) Regulations.
These ttings are mixing devices and therefore water supplies must be reasonably
balanced.
Where connections are made to the mains cold water supply, WRC approved single
check valves must be tted to both hot and cold inlets. This is a stated requirement of
Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 Schedule 2, Section 6 G15.13.2
Before making any inlet pipe connections, all supply pipes MUST be thoroughly
ushed to remove debris. Failure to do so could result in damage or low ow from the
mixer unit. Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 Schedule 2 Section 4 G13.1
The tting of isolating valves to the inlet feeds is advised for ease of maintenance.
Please take great care when installing this mixer not to damage its surface.
Please note if installing in an enclosed environment, access should be left for servicing
and maintenance. No costs relating to inadequate access can be accepted.
Care of the mixer
Our products are nished to the highest standard and due care needs to be taken to
ensure their looks are retained.
We recommend cleaning all products with a soft damp cloth ONLY and advise strongly
against the use of ALL cleaning products i.e. powders and liquids.
If the above instructions are not followed this will invalidate your guarantee in the
event of a problem occurring.
