Troubleshooting

Tap is not dispensing water or flow is very weak.

Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 1.0 Bar. Check that the shut-off valves under the sink are fully open. Ensure the push-open waste is not obstructing the flow.

Water leaks from the base of the tap.

Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check that the seals and washers are correctly in place and not damaged.

Limescale buildup affecting water flow.

Use the QuickClean feature by gently rubbing the silicone aerator. For stubborn buildup, soak a cloth in vinegar and wrap it around the aerator for a short period, then rinse.

Tap handle feels stiff or difficult to operate.

The quarter-turn ceramic cartridge may require lubrication or replacement. Consult the product manual for cartridge replacement instructions or contact customer support.
