How to use

Shut off the water supply or close the tap, then unscrew the existing aerator from the tap outlet using your hand or a soft-jaw tool to avoid damaging the finish. Inspect the tap thread and clean any debris or mineral deposits. Screw the Franke SP aerator onto the M20x1 male thread by hand until finger-tight, then gently tighten a quarter turn if necessary for a secure fit. Turn the water back on and check for leaks; if minor dripping occurs, slightly tighten further or re-seat the sealing element. Regularly inspect and clean the aerator to maintain flow quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, remove and clean the aerator periodically to prevent clogging from mineral deposits. When tightening, avoid excessive force to prevent thread or finish damage. Use a soft cloth or plastic tool if additional leverage is required.
