TF55 - Contemporary stub lever filter monobloc

5 Year warranty:

In the unlikely event that you should experience any defect in the materials or workmanship of your new CDA mixer within FIVE years of
purchase, the purchaser’s sole remedy shall be the replacement (at the manufacturer’s discretion) of all or any part of the product that is
defective. All working parts and valves are guaranteed for a period of TWO years from purchase. Decorative surface finishes and O-rings
are guaranteed for ONE year from the date of purchase provided that our advice concerning care has been observed. This is provided that
the mixer has been used for normal domestic purposes in the UK and that the care, installation and maintenance instructions have been
observed. The warranty extends to the original purchaser only. You should retain a copy of your dated invoice as proof of purchase to
validate any claims under this guarantee.

Care Instructions for your Kitchen Sink Mixer:

To maintain the appearance of this tap, ensure that it is regularly cleaned only using a clean, soft damp cloth. A solution of warm water and
a mild liquid detergent may be used where necessary, and then the fitting rinsed thoroughly and wiped dry. Any other cleaning action will
invalidate your warranty. If the tap has a diffuser it should be cleaned periodically.

Abrasive cleaners, scouring cleaners and acidic cleaners must not be used under any circumstances. Avoid contact with all solvents
(including chlorinated solvents, ketones or acetones as these may result in surface deterioration or etching). Also avoid contact with any
harsh household chemicals such as oven cleaners, drain cleaners, rust removers, paint strippers and toilet bowl cleaners, bar keepers friend
or Brasso.

Important Technical Data:

Minimum hot / cold operating pressure 0.3 / 1.0 bar Maximum hot water temperature 70°C*
Maximum operating pressure 5.5 bar* Recommended hot water temperature 46°C

*If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for short periods, damage can result.

CDA taps are either WRAS approved or manufactured in accordance with recognised European standards. Please ensure that your Kitchen
mixer is fitted in accordance with Local Water Byelaws.

These installation guidelines have been prepared for your direction and you must exercise due care at all times. We do not accept
responsibility for problems that may occur through improper installation. Whilst assembling the tap take care not to accidentally loosen any
screwed assemblies. PTFE tape should be used to ensure watertight joins on threaded connections, do not over tighten connections or
allow pipes to be twisted or folded.

This tap can be used in conjunction with a water softening system and will remove the need for a separate drinking water tap. In this
instance the isolator valve (V) must cut into the unsoftened cold mains supply.

Installation Preparation:

All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for any transport damage prior to installation.
Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to remove any remaining solder,
swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of the
mixertap.

We strongly recommend installing particle filters and isolation valves to both the hot and cold feed pipes in an accessible position. This will
help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any future maintenance.

This mixertap requires a 35mm∅ tap hole, if replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the end of the feed pipes using wire wool the
tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant. note the tap must not pass through a surface thicker than 40mm.

Shut off your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is closed. Open the lowest hot and cold taps in the house and
allow the water to run until the cold-water storage tank and pipes are fully empty. Please note, the hot water storage cylinder (if applicable)
will always remain full.

Loosely position the tap and tail pipes to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is required, if this is the case do this now.

Stage 1 – install the tap:

1. Screw the hollow fixing stud (G) into the base on the tap using a spanner or 6mm allen key. Note: drawing identifies water inlets.
H = hot inlet, C = cold inlet, F = filtered water inlet and fixing (see fig. 2).

2. Screw the hot and cold tail pipes (I & H) into the base of the tap.

3. Place the finish matched base plinth (B) then the upper seal (C) on to the base of the tap (A).

4. Place the tap centrally and straight to the tap hole, passing the hollow fixing stud (G) and tail pipes (I & H) through the sink.

5. Pass the rubber horseshoe (E) then the metal horseshoe (F) over the hollow fixing stud (G). Note: if the tap is to be fitted to a
stainless steel sink then the white triangular plate (D) can be fitted where shown to improve the stability of the tap.

6. Using a spanner tighten fixing nut (J) onto the hollow fixing stud (G), a box spanner or small basin wrench will help if one is
available.

7. Place the fibre washer (K) into adaptor (L), then tighten the adaptor (L) onto the end of the hollow fixing stud (G).

8. Attach the hot water tail pipe (I) to the water feed pipe using 15mm compression or end feed joints. Note: the tail pipes can be
carefully bent to give more space to allow these fittings to be attached.

9. Using compression nuts (T) and olives (U) connect the 3-way tee (V) as shown to the cold water tail pipe (H).

Stage 2 – install the filter:

1. Locate a convenient position to install the filter (P), remembering that it must be accessible when it is changed.

2. Using compression nuts (T) and olives (U) connect the 3-way tee (V) as shown to the cold water supply pipe.

3. Screw the filter bracket (R) to the cupboard wall using screws (Q), if attaching the bracket to an interior wall use rawl plugs also.

4. Remove the dust caps from the ends of the filter (P) and write the installation date onto its label. Firmly push the pushfit connectors
(O) onto each end of the filter.

5. Clip the filter (P) into its bracket (R) noting the direction of flow through it. The filter (P) should be mounted vertically.

6. Screw the pushfit connector (M) into the adaptor nut (L).

7. Cut the blue flexible pipe (N) so it is slightly longer than the required lengths to and from the filter unit. When cutting the pipe use a
sharp Stanley knife, ensuring that the pipe is cut cleanly and square at all ends.

8. Firmly push the blue pipe (N) apx. 12mm into the pushfit connector (M) and push fit connector (O).

9. Firmly push the blue pipe (N) into pushfit connector (O) and the valve pushfit adaptor (S).

Stage 3 – setting the tap up:

The filtered drinking water system performs at a maximum of 2-3 L / min.

Turn the tap fully on to filtered water, now the turn the lever on the 3-way
valve (V) to adjust the flow of filtered water to the correct level. Note
when the filter is new it will take a moment to pull any air though the
system, you may notice some carbon discoloration in the water at this
point, this is normal and will pass with flushing.

Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then replace the bag that has been provided to protect the tap
until it is ready for use.

Using the tap:

Push the cold lever backwards for filtered cold water, or forwards for unfiltered cold water.

For best results when using the filtered water always run the tap for a few moments. Running the tap will help to flush the system through
and make the water cooler for drinking, if the tap has not been used for several hours then flush the tap for longer. When comparing the
taste of filtered and unfiltered water always taste the filtered water first.

The dual stage filter is designed to improve the taste, clarity and odour of drinking water, the filter also the help to reduce the level of
chemical impurities and lime scale build up on kettles and cookware in low-moderate scale regions.

Each filter cartridge has a maximum 6-month life. For replacement filters call 01949 862012.
