General
Faucets and valves, like other HVAC equipment, consist of several
parts that are under constant stress and exposed to wear and tear, and
therefore require servicing. When a part has worn to the point of being
unusable, it is generally due to lack of servicing. Regular servicing
guarantees trouble-free operation of the equipment and significantly
prolongs its operating life.
Servicing must be carried out using appropriate tools and spare parts.
To guarantee smooth operation and quick servicing of equipment,
the following should be taken into account in the construction of the
pipework:
The piping must be rinsed with household water to remove sand, chips
etc. before installing faucets and valves.
– The system must be equipped with a sufficient number of mud
blockers to prevent the incursion of foreign objects.
– Correct installation is particularly important for the proper operation
of faucets and valves.
Servicing is easier and takes less time, if the faucet joints are
equipped with Oras ball stop valves. This causes no disturbance to
other equipment installed in the system, because each faucet can be
individually switched off from the system.
Note! The electrical connection of mains-operated electronic faucets
may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. Servicing and
adjustment can also be carried out by a suitably qualified person e.g.
someone who has completed the Electra Training School Programme.
Electronic faucets meet the requirements of the EMC Directive
2004/108/EY.
Maximum flow period (Protection against vandalism, touchless
faucets)
The maximum flow period of touchless faucets is two minutes for
basin faucets and five minutes for shower faucets. If the sensor is
covered, the faucet shuts off automatically after the abovementioned
period (protection against vandalism). To return the faucet to normal
operation, remove any obstacle (e.g. chewing gum, tape) from the
sensor. Flow periods can be modified in some models.
Cleaning of the external faucet surfaces
In cleaning the external surfaces of the faucet, the same rules apply
as in cleaning painted surfaces at home in general. Keep the sensor
of the electronic faucet clean for faultless operation. Regular cleaning
of the external faucet surfaces should be carried out using neutral
or slightly alkaline (pH 6-9) liquid cleaner, such as soap solution or
washing-up liquid (not dishwasher powder). (Always follow the detergent
manufacturer's directions and dosage guidelines). Organic solvents,
corrosive and/or scrubbing agents or devices must not be used.
Warning!
Chrome coating does not resist phosphoric acids and chlorine
compounds. (The same applies to all plastic parts of shower fittings).
Such compounds include e.g.:
– Aluminium chlorides (used in e.g. antiperspirants/deodorants).
– Hydrochloric acid and its derivatives (used in e.g. cleaners meant for
deliming/Dutch tile cleaners).
– Various acid and alkaline cleaners containing chlorine.
– Salt water (e.g. sea water).
– Air containing a plenty of chlorine.
– Various detergents containing phosphoric acid.
Note! Cleaners containing alcohol are not suited to cleaning of acrylic
surfaces.
Note! Even dilute solutions may damage the coating, because when
water evaporates the active ingredients remain and the solution
concentrates.
Do not clean the faucet with a high-pressure washer.
Cleaning
– Clean the faucet with a sponge or soft cloth moistened with
detergent solution. Note! Do not use a spray bottle!
– Rinse the faucet with plenty of plain lukewarm water.
– Finally wipe the faucet dry.
Noble metal coatings: aranja, polished brass, gold, satin and brilliant
If noble metal coated faucets tarnish in places over time, the tarnishing
can be removed using e.g. liquid silver cleaners. After cleaning,
surfaces should always be rinsed and wiped dry.
Coloured faucets
Coloured faucets can be waxed with car wax after cleaning as per
instructions. A waxed surface is water and dirt repellent and makes it
easier to clean the faucet.
Very dirty surfaces
In exceptional cases where the faucet has not been cleaned for a long
time, and dirt does not come off with normal cleaning, slightly alkaline
liquid cleaner can be used.
– Pour some liquid cleaner on a moist, soft sponge.
– Wipe the dirty surface with the sponge.
– Rinse carefully with plenty of lukewarm water.
– Wipe the faucet dry.
Cleaning the aerator: Remove the aerator, clean with water, or
replace a new one.
Correct use of Bidetta hand-shower
When Bidetta hand-shower is turned off after use, there will be a little
water remaining under the shower unit's strainer. If the water is not
drained, it may drip out when the hand-shower unit is hung up. To
prevent this from happening, turn the faucet off and shake the shower
head a couple of times over the toilet bowl or sink to remove the water
from the strainer. Then hang the hand-shower unit in its holder. This
process is quick and easy to learn and part of the correct use of the
bidet handshower.
Risk of freezing
Faucets or other water fittings installed in a place where water left
inside them may freeze (e.g. during the winter in unheated holiday
accommodation) must be emptied or stored in a heated place for the
cold period. Various precautions should be taken to prevent damage
caused by freezing, e.g.
Single-lever faucets:
Automatic faucets:
Two-handle faucets:
Note! Precautions must also be taken when transporting a used faucet
in sub-zero temperature.
Warning!
Faucets and accessories are not suitable for use in hot enviroment,
max. +65°C. The same temperature limitation concerns also the
cleaning.
Warning!
Do not connect any appliance equipped with a closing device, e.g.
a high pressure– /bottle washer or the garden hose with a closing
device, to the faucet (e.g. to replace the aerator). Using this kind of
closing device may result in extensive pressure shocks which might
then damage the regulating and closing mechanism in the faucet, or
damage the spout.
As well there can also appear harmful cross flow.
The ejector- structure must be used, when using Bidetta handshower
with a trigger.
Note! The washing machine valve must always be switched off after
use. If the washing machine cannot be connected to the faucet, then
the connecting pipe (G1/2) should be plugged shut.
Detach the cartridge.
Detach the cartridge and empty the
water from the faucet.
Detach the head work.
