MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
Premise: Continuous and extended use over time and the properties of the local water supply may lead to
a loss of efficiency of the cartridge. Therefore, maintenance, cleaning or replacement may be necessary.
1.
Close every water inlet connections to the mixer.
2.
Remove the small caps (13) and unscrew the threaded pins (12); extract the diverting handle (11) and the
diverting-mixing handle (14); remove the cover plate (9). (Fig. 34 - Fig. 34_A - Fig. 34_B)
3.
Unscrew the cover rings (10) and pull out the bushes (5). It is recommended to protect the contact between
the operating wrench and the threaded rings. (fig. 35)
4.
Unscrew the clamping bush of the diverter cartridge (4) and the clamping bush of the mixing cartridge
(7). (fig. 36)
5.
Diverter cartridge
•
In case of sole maintenance, pull out the diverting cartridge assembly (2), the rotation locking ring (3),
and the ways-regulation plate (8); in order to ease the re-insertion, it is recommended also to pull out
the whole assembly without disassembling. Remove possible dirty and scale inside the seat of the car-
tridge. Put the cartridges in a 50%-50% water-vinegar solution for about 12 hours in order to remove
every trace of limestone and impurities, then proceed starting from point no. 6.
•
In case of replacement of the cartridge, verify the right assembling of the rotation locking ring (3): it
must be assembled and oriented on the new cartridge according to fig. 37. Then proceed starting form
point 6.
6.
Insert the diverting cartridge (2) with the rotation locking ring (3) already assembled, paying great
attention to the pin sticking out of the base: it must be entered into its specific seat (fig. 38). Screw the
threaded ring (4) and clamp applying a couple of 12 Nm.
7.
In case the ways-regulation plate (8) has been removed or in case of replacement of the cartridge, always
verify the right assembling of the plate. It must respect the position shown in fig. 1-2 / 4-5 / 7-8 / 10-11
according to the set-up of the mixer.
8.
Pull out the mixing cartridge (6) and remove possible dirty and scale inside the seat of the cartridge:
•
in case of sole maintenance, put the cartridges in a 50%-50% water-vinegar solution for about 12
hours in order to remove every trace of limestone and impurities, then proceed starting from point
no. 9
•
in case of replacement of the cartridge, proceed starting form point no. 9
9.
Insert the mixing cartridge (6) paying great attention to the two pins sticking out of the base: they must be
entered in their specific seat (fig. 38). Screw the threaded ring (7) and clamp applying a couple of 12 Nm.
10. Assemble the two bushes (5) and screw the two cover rings (10).
11. Open the water inlet.
12. Position the cover plate (9).
13. Insert the diverting handle (11). Fasten the handle by its specific threaded pin (12) and insert the small cap
(13) (fig. 39 / 39_A / 39_B).
14. Insert the mixing and supply handle (14) respecting the orientation indicated in fig. 39 / 39_A / 39_B.
Attach it with the special grain (12) and insert the cap (13).
15. Clean carefully with a cloth (Fig. 40).
CLEANING
To keep the material's appearance as long as possible, a few guidelines must be followed.
Cleaning metal parts: water contains calcium that deposits on surfaces and forms unpleasant spots. For
routine cleaning,simply use a damp cloth with a little soap, rinse and dry. Calcium spots can therefore be
avoided by drying after use.
Important note: Using only a soap-based detergent is recommended. Never use abrasive detergents or
disinfectants or those containing alcohol, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid.
