What do the black indices on the handles indicate?
The black indices on the crosshead handles typically indicate 'Hot' and 'Cold' settings for easy identification and operation.
Can I replace the valve cartridges myself?
Yes, replacement is possible, but it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully or consult a professional plumber to avoid damage.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow
Ensure the minimum operating pressure of 0.1 Bar is met. Check for any blockages in the water supply lines or aerator. Verify that the manual valve is fully open.
Tap is leaking
Check all connections for tightness. The issue might stem from worn-out valve cartridges, which may need replacement. Consult the manufacturer's guide for cartridge replacement.
Difficulty turning handles
The valve cartridges might be stiff. Try gently working the handles back and forth. If the problem persists, the cartridges may require lubrication or replacement.
Chrome finish is dull or tarnished
Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, a specialized chrome cleaner for bathroom fixtures may be used following product instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a deck-mounted fixture, designed to be installed on the surface of a bidet deck. Ensure all connections are made according to the manufacturer's instructions, paying close attention to avoiding overtightening or cross-threading to prevent damage to the fittings. Standard plumbing tools will be required.

Care: To maintain the luxury chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For the white indices on the crosshead handles, use a mild soap and water solution. Promptly wipe away any water spots to prevent limescale buildup.
