Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cloths, or
paper towels.
Do not use any cleaning agents containing
acids, polish abrasives, or harsh cleaners or

required, the following procedures are recommended:

Remove as much surface dirt and film using clear
water and soft cotton cloth

(as described above).

film and build-up:
Mild liquid detergents
Clear ammonia free liquid glass cleaners
Non-acidic, non-abrasive gentle liquid or fully
dissolved powder cleansers mixed according to
manufacturers directions.

TRANSPOSED SUPPLY PIPING OR BACK TO BACK INSTALLATION

3

Should the hot and cold water supply pipes have been transposed making
adjustment impossible, proceed as follows:

Shut off water supply.
Remove handle and rim
Remove check stops and re-install them transposed.

Important note: RED CHECK STOP is now on the right of the mixer body and the BLUE
CHECK STOP is now on the left.

Turn the water supply back on and perform the temperature adjustment in step 4.

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

4

Check that arrow marking B points vertically upwards. If not, push the BLACK
CLAMP (1) on the SECURING RING (2) to the right, pull off KNOB MOUNT (3)
and reinstall KNOB MOUNT (3) with arrow "B" pointing upwards.

SET HOT LIMIT STOP

The maximum mixed water temperature is set at 109˚F at the factory.
This setting can be changed if desired.

Remove the TEMPERATURE LIMIT STOP (4) (H shaped Black Plastic part).
Reinstall it at the desired notch as indicated in the diagram to limit the maximum
mixed water temperature to 104˚F or 112˚F.

For 100˚F adjustment, turn the water supply on. Turn KNOB MOUNT (3) until the spout
temperature is 100˚F. Check that arrow marking A on the KNOB MOUNT (3) still points
upward after adjusting the thermostat to 100˚F. If not, pull out the RED LOCKING DEVICE (5).
Remove KNOB MOUNT (3) without turning by sliding out as indicated by the arrow.

Reinstall the KNOB MOUNT (3) so that the arrow marking A points upwards.

If the system is delivering all Hot or all Cold and no mixed water the pipes are probably transposed.

If a temperature over 100˚F is desired, pull the RED STOP BUTTON (1) away from the body
of the MIXER UNIT and turn the TEMPERATURE KNOB.

This will increase the mixed water temperature up to the maximum limit previously
selected in step 4.
