FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Energy-Saving Cartridge (ESC)?

The ESC ensures that the central position of the single lever delivers cold water only. Hot water is only dispensed when the lever is moved further to the left, helping to reduce unnecessary energy consumption from water heating.

How do I clean the pastel blue finish?

Clean the tap with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Always dry with a soft cloth.

What is the maximum thickness of the surface the tap can be mounted on?

The tap can be mounted on surfaces up to a maximum thickness of 4 cm.

Does this tap come with connection hoses?

Yes, the tap includes two hoses for connection to the hot and cold water supplies, with a G3/8" hose connecting thread.

What is the spout reach?

The spout reach, measured from the center of the tap body to the center of the spout outlet, is approximately 23 cm.

Can this tap be used with low-pressure water systems?

The tap is designed for a minimum recommended pressure of 0.5 bar. Performance may be reduced below this level.

Is the pull-out spray head replaceable?

While designed for durability, specific replacement parts for the spray head can typically be sourced through Smeg or authorized service centers if needed.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Check if the lever is fully in the off position. If dripping persists, the ceramic cartridge may need cleaning or replacement.

Low water flow

Ensure the minimum recommended pressure of 0.5 bar is met. Check for blockages in the aerator or supply hoses. The pull-out hose connection should also be inspected.

Hot water not dispensing correctly

Verify that the lever is being moved to the left to engage the hot water. Check the hot water supply line connection.

Pull-out spray not retracting smoothly

Inspect the hose for kinks or obstructions. Ensure the hose weight (if applicable and provided separately) is correctly positioned.

Tap is loose on the counter

Tighten the mounting nut from underneath the sink, ensuring the tap is correctly seated before securing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: The tap requires a single installation hole with a diameter of 35 mm and a maximum surface thickness of 4 cm. Ensure your sink or countertop can accommodate the tap's height of 482 mm. Two hoses are included for connection to hot and cold water supplies, with a standard G3/8" hose connecting thread.

Compatibility: This tap is compatible with standard plumbing systems that can provide a water pressure between 0.5 bar (minimum recommended) and 5 bar (maximum operating pressure). It is designed to coordinate with Smeg's 50's Style range of appliances.

Care: To maintain the tap's aesthetic and functionality, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For internal components like the ceramic cartridge, refer to specific maintenance guides if issues arise, though its durable construction typically requires minimal intervention.
