How to use

The mixer tap is designed for straightforward operation. Simply lift the single handle upward to start the water flow and rotate it left or right to adjust the temperature to your preference. Once finished, push the handle back to the closed position to stop the flow. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap is recommended to maintain the shine of the chrome surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your sink or countertop has a compatible mounting hole.
• Verify that your plumbing system supports a 3/8 inch connection.
• Consider the height of 40.5 cm to ensure it fits under any overhead cabinets.
• Confirm that a fixed spout meets your specific kitchen workflow requirements.

Usage recommendations: To preserve the chrome finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners. Periodically check the aerator for limescale buildup to maintain the optimal 12 l/min flow rate.
