Check if the flow regulator is blocked by debris. Gently remove and clean it. Also, ensure the water supply valves are fully open and that there are no kinks in the flexible hoses.

Difficulty controlling temperature

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected. Check if the temperature limit stops have been set too restrictively. Refer to the manual for adjustment instructions.

Tap is loose on the basin

Tighten the mounting screws or securing nut from underneath the basin. Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated.
