What type of water pressure is recommended?

Does the tap come with flexible hoses included?

What is the warranty period for this kitchen mixer tap?

Troubleshooting

Tap is not delivering water

Check that the main water supply valves are open and that the flexible hoses are securely connected to both the tap and the supply.

Leaking from the base of the spout or handle

Ensure the mounting bracket is tightened securely. If the leak persists, there may be an issue with the internal seals, contact customer support.

Low water flow

Check for blockages in the aerator at the end of the spout. Ensure water supply valves are fully open and that there are no kinks in the flexible hoses.

Difficulty controlling water temperature

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the tap. Ensure valves are providing adequate flow for both.
