Troubleshooting
Tap does not turn on/off with SmartControl button.
Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the button mechanism is not obstructed by debris. Verify that the control unit is correctly connected during installation.
Water flow is weak or inconsistent.
Clean the aerator and the pull-out spray head nozzle. Check for any kinks in the flexible connection hoses. Ensure sufficient water pressure from your mains supply.
Pull-out spray head does not retract fully.
Inspect the hose and docking area for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the hose is not tangled internally. Clean the docking magnet and the spray head seat.
Water temperature cannot be adjusted correctly.
Ensure the mixing valve on the tap body is functioning correctly. Check that the hot and cold water supply lines are connected to the correct inlets.
Tap makes unusual noises.
This could indicate air in the lines or a loose internal component. Turn off the water supply, then slowly turn it back on to bleed out air. If noise persists, contact customer support.
