Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping when turned off
This can often be resolved by tightening the valve mechanism slightly. If the dripping persists, the ceramic disc may be damaged and require replacement. Consult the manufacturer's guarantee if within the warranty period.
Low water flow from the spout
Check that the isolation valves are fully open and that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.3 bar. Inspect the aerator at the tip of the spout for any debris or limescale buildup and clean it if necessary.
Tap is loose or wobbly
Ensure the securing screws on the Top Fix base are tightened sufficiently using the provided Easyfit tool. Re-check the tightness of the metal fixings from above.
Difficulty turning the tap handle
The ceramic disc valves may have accumulated some debris. Try gently working the handle back and forth. If this does not help, the valve may need servicing or replacement.
