Troubleshooting
Handle does not fit correctly.
Double-check that you have the correct model of Franke tap (Olympus, Olympus Spring, FilterFlow Olympus) and that you have ordered the correct part for cold water. Ensure no debris is obstructing the fitting point.
Handle is loose after installation.
Ensure the securing screw or mechanism is fully tightened according to the original tap's design. Refer to your original tap's manual if available.
Water still drips when tap is off.
This handle controls the lever action. If dripping persists, the issue likely lies with the internal valve or cartridge within the tap body, which may require replacement of the cartridge itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This is a genuine Franke replacement part specifically designed for the Franke Olympus, Olympus Spring, and FilterFlow Olympus tap models. Please verify your tap model before purchasing. It is for the *cold* water control. For hot water controls, separate parts are available.
Setup: Installation is designed to be quick and easy. Typically, this involves unscrewing the old handle (often a small grub screw needs loosening), removing the old handle, and fitting the new one in its place. Tighten any securing screws as per the original fitting. No specialized plumbing tools are usually required.
Care: To maintain the chrome finish, clean the handle regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the chrome surface. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth.
