Spout cleaning

This phase is very delicate. Please carry it out only if necessary and only after having
closed water flow. This is primarily for cleaning of the exterior flex hose and spring.

To carry out the cleaning it is possible to detach the spout from the body in the following
way:
1 - pull out the knob as indicated in the picture
2 - take out the spout keeping the knob pulled out

X

OK

To install the spout again pull out the knob,
push softly the spout in and release the knob

ATTENTION:

During the spout installation, be careful not
to damage or move the gaskets positioned at
the base of the same. These gaskets guarantee
watertight. If gaskets leaves their seat proceed
to right placing that before spout installation.

IMPORTANT

- Some spout components not in
contact with water can be damaged if
exposed to high temperatures. Rinse
only with cold water and soap and dry
with a soft cloth. Do not use either the
dish-washer or hot / warm water.

- The gaskets lubricating grease must
not be taken off during the cleaning
phase since it guarantees softness in
the spout rotation.
Lubricated components can undergo
gradual drying caused by usage. This
could be the reason of a progressive
stiffening of spout rotation.
