Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Ensure the handles are fully closed. If dripping persists, the ceramic disc may require cleaning or replacement. Check the manufacturer's guide for cartridge replacement procedures.

Low water flow

Check if the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 bar. Ensure the aerator (if present) is clean and free of debris. Also, check for any kinks or blockages in the water supply hoses.

Difficulty adjusting temperature

Make sure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected. If the issue persists, the ceramic disc cartridge might be obstructed or damaged.

Tap is loose

Tighten the mounting nuts or screws from underneath the sink or countertop according to the installation guide.
