The plastic cartridge may be worn or have debris. Turn off the water supply, remove the handle, and inspect/clean the cartridge. If damaged, it may need replacement (check for spare code N/a).
Difficulty controlling temperature
Ensure hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the respective inlets. Check for any blockages in the hot or cold water lines leading to the tap.

The mixer comes with flexible tails included, simplifying the connection to your water supply lines. Always ensure the water supply is turned off before commencing installation.

Care:
To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Periodically check for any leaks at the connection points.
