Frequently Asked Questions - Idrovia Schütte

How to install the Idrovia Schütte mixer?

Before installation, cut off the main water supply. Screw the connecting hoses by hand without using pliers. After assembly, rinse the pipe by unscrewing the mixer nozzle. Check the tightness of all connections after initial use.

What is the recommended water pressure?

The recommended flow pressure is 1.5 bar. If the pressure exceeds 6 bar, install a pressure reducer.

How to clean the mixer without damaging it?

Clean only with clean water and a soft cloth. Never use limescale dissolving products, acidic or corrosive cleaners, or abrasive detergents on chrome or colored surfaces.

What to do if flow rate drops?

Regularly unscrew the mixer nozzle (aerator) and remove limescale deposits or foreign bodies. If heavily soiled, replace with a new one.

What is the lifespan of the cartridge?

The cartridge is a wear part. In very hard or dirty water, replace it every 1 to 2 years. Purchase the cartridge from a nearby retailer.

How to maintain the warranty?

Follow the maintenance and assembly instructions. Keep the original proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage due to incorrect assembly, lack of maintenance, or use of unsuitable products.

Can the mixer be used with a low-pressure water heater?

No, these fittings are not designed for use with small electric tanks or low-pressure systems.

What to do in case of frost?

If the mixer is at risk of freezing, cut off the water supply and drain the fitting. It is designed for indoor use at temperatures above 0 °C.

What to do if a leak appears?

Check the tightness of connections. If a leak persists or visible damage occurs, have the parts checked and replaced by a professional.

How to dispose of packaging and the old product?

The packaging is made of recyclable materials: dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. At the end of its life, do not throw the product with household waste. Ask your local authority for recycling procedures.

GB Installation instructions

Dear customer,

You have purchased a high-quality and long-lasting product from our line of goods. Please read these instructions carefully before assembling and observe the notes.

These instructions contain important information on installation, adjustment, care, and spare parts.

Therefore, keep the instructions in a safe place and pass them on to possible subsequent owners.

Safety notes

• Only allow experts carry out the installation work.
  • CAUTION DAMAGE BY WATER!

Prior to installation please turn the general water supply off.

• Ensure that all gaskets have the correct fit.
  • These taps are not suitable for use on low pressure and small electrical storage heaters.
• We recommend the installation of a filter into the appliance or at least the use of angle valves with filter, in order to avoid the inflow of foreign matter, which could damage the cartridge.
• This tap is only intended for use in private households! Only suitable for use in rooms with a temperature over 0^ C , when there is danger of frost, sut off the water supply and empty the tap.
• If the tap not used for a longer period, we recommend to initially let a larger quantity of water flow through before withdrawing drinking water.
  • Take care when adjusting the warm water. Danger of scalding!
• Incorrectly installed fittings can cause water damages!
• Please ensure that no caustic or corrosive products such as detergents or household

cleaning products make contact with the connection hoses; this can lead to water damages.

- Despite careful production, sharp edges can occur. Please exercise caution!

Disposal

Your washbasin tap is delivered in a solid packaging, in order to protect it against transport damages. The packaging consists of recyclable materials. Dispose it in an environmentally suitable manner.

Do not throw the product into the normal domestic waste at the end of its service life, but ask your municipal administration about the possibility of an environmentally friendly disposal.

Technical data

• Flow pressure: recommended 1.5 bar; install a pressure reducer at more than 6 bar
  • Water temperature: max. 80 °C
  •Waterconnection: warm - left/cold - right

⚠️ Installation Instructions

• Shut off the water supply before beginning installation
• Only hand-screw the connecting pipes, do not use pliers or a wrench!
• After installing the tap please unscrew the mixer nozzle, flush the pipeline and the tap thoroughly for a longer time, in order to flush out contaminations and residues.
• Do not twist or tension pipes! At first use check connections for leaktightness!
• Check all connections carefully after first-time use to make sure that they are tight.

- We do not assume any warranty for incorrect installation - in particular for subsequent damages!

Instructions for care

Sanitary taps require special care. Therefore, please observe the following instructions:

• Chrome-plated surfaces are sensitive to lime-dissolving agents, acidic cleaning agents and all kinds of abrasives.
• Never clean coloured surfaces with abrasive, corrosive, or alcoholic agents.
• Only clean your taps with clear water and a soft cloth or a shammy.

Surface damage is to be expected, if the care instructions are not observed. This makes any warranty claims invalid.

Do not forget to unscrew the mixing nozzle in regular intervals and to remove possibly calcareous residues or foreign matter. It is advisable to replace the mixing nozzle with a new one in the case of extreme contamination.

Maintenance

• Please note that a cartridge is an expendable part and that the cartridge may need to be replaced every 1-2 years if the water has high levels of limescale or dirt. Please purchase them from your local retailer.
• Please check all joints and connections for leaks or visible damages at regular intervals.
• In case of any leaks or visible damages to the fitting or connection hoses, these should be immediately checked by a specialist and replaced if necessary.

Decommissioning

• Cut off the water supply before dismantling the product.
• Pay attention to escaping residual water.
• Disassemble the product in the reverse order of the assembly instructions.

The illustrations are to be considered as figurative representations, deviations of the product are possible. Subject to technical modifications.

2. Guarantee

The guarantee covers at our discretion free repair, delivery of spare parts free of charge or of an equivalent tap against return of the faulty part and/or faulty tap. If the model concerned should not be manufactured any longer, we reserve the right to supply a replacement tap from our product range at our discretion, which complies to the returned model as far as possible.
