4. Configurazione e installazione

This faucet is designed for single-hole, deck-mounted installation. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Preparare l'area di installazione: Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink. Clear the area around the faucet hole. Remove any existing faucet.
2. Installare il corpo del rubinetto: Insert the faucet body into the single hole on your sink or countertop. Ensure the handle is positioned correctly.
3. Proteggere il rubinetto: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Hand-tighten the nut, then use a basin wrench to fully secure it. Do not overtighten.
4. Collegare le linee di alimentazione idrica: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to the corresponding hot and cold water supply valves. Use a wrench to tighten connections, but do not overtighten.
5. Installare il tubo estraibile: Connect the pull-out spray hose to the designated port on the faucet's underside. Ensure a secure connection.
6. Attach the Hose Weight: Clip the hose weight onto the pull-out hose at a point that allows the spray head to retract fully and smoothly.
7. Test per perdite: Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.
8. Tirare lo sciacquone: Remove the spray head and turn on the water to flush out any debris from the lines. Run water for approximately one minute. Reattach the spray head.

  • Push the handle down to decrease or stop water flow.
  • Move the handle to the left for hot water.
  • Move the handle to the right for cold water.
• Doccetta estraibile: Grasp the spray head and pull it out from the spout. The hose allows for extended reach within and around the sink.

6. Manutenzione

Regular maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your Franke faucet.

• Pulizia della finitura: Pulisci la finitura cromata lucida con un panno morbido eamp panno e sapone neutro. Evitare detergenti abrasivi, prodotti chimici aggressivi o pagliette abrasive, poiché possono danneggiare la finitura. Risciacquare abbondantemente e asciugare con un panno morbido per evitare macchie d'acqua.
• Pulizia dell'aeratore: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spray head, rinse any debris, and reattach.
• Cartuccia a dischi ceramici: The faucet uses a durable ceramic disc cartridge. If leaks occur from the handle or flow issues persist after aerator cleaning, the cartridge may need inspection or replacement. This typically requires professional assistance.
• Hose Weight: Ensure the hose weight is securely attached and does not interfere with the smooth retraction of the pull-out hose.
