Please pass this Technical Product Information
and the user manual for the filter cartridge on to
the kitchen fitting user.

– Kitchen fitting (1)
– Wall holder (2)
– Filter head (3)
– Filter cartridge (4)
– User manual for filter cartridge (5)
– Escutcheon (6)
– Connection tube (7)
– Bag with installation materials (8)
– Control unit (9)
– Gl ass decanter (10)
– Technical Product Information (TPI) (11)

Tools required:

Open-end spanner, socket spanner, Allen key,
screwdriver, possibly al so drill (depending on
substrate).
Screws and plugs are not included.

The kitchen fitting supplies filtered GROHE Blue

®

water in addition to hot and cold tap water. Filtered
and unfiltered water flows into the GROHE Blue

®

kitchen fitting through two separate pipes and
through two separate areas of the mousseur.
The filter cartridge reduces the water hardness of
the GROHE Blue

®

water as a function of the
hardness of the tap water. The proportion of
unsoftened water can be set using the integrated
bypass. Furthermore the cartridge binds heavy
metal ions such as lead, copper and cadmium.
It also reduces cloudiness as well as organic and
taste-impairing constituents and chlorine residues.
The filter head is fitted with a type-tested
non-return valve.
The water filtrate is classified as Category 2
per EN 1717.
The filter fitting can be operated in conjunction with:
– pressurised storage heaters,
– thermally controlled instantaneous heaters,
– hydraulically controlled instantaneous heaters,
Operation with unpressurised storage heaters is
not possible.

• Avoid dangers resulting from damaged power
cords. If damaged, the control unit must be
replaced.

• The plug-in connectors for the control unit must
not be directly or indirectly sprayed with water
when cleaning.

• The fitting must be connected to a permanent
power supply with a dedicated power switch.

• For hygiene reasons, the filter system must be
flushed before using for the first time. It is only
permitted to operate the filter system with cold
water of fooodstuff grade.

• At the installation location the filter system must
be protected from mechanical damage and heat
(e.g. from sunlight). Do not install near heat
sources or an open fire.

• Flow pressure:

min. 1 bar/recommended 2 – 5 bar

• Operating pressure
– Fitting: max. 8.6 bar
– Filter cartridge and filter head: 2 – 8.6 bar

• Test pressure of fitting: 16 bar

A pressure-reducing valve must be fitted if static
pressures exceed 5 bar.
Avoid major pressure differences between the hot
and cold water supply.

• Flow rate at 3 bar flow pressure
– Fitting (tap water): approx. 9 l/min
– Filter cartridge

(GROHE Blue

®

water): approx. 4 l/min

• Ambient temperature: 4 – 30 °C

• Temperature
– Hot water supply: max. 70 °C
– Recommended (energy saving): 60 °C

• Voltage supply: 100 - 240 V AC,

50/60 Hz

• Power consumption: 9 W

• Type of protection
– Control unit: IP 65
– Mains plug: IP 40

• Adjustable bypass, factory setting: 30 %

• Filter capacity: max. 500 litres

or max. 6 months

• Water connection: cold – blue

hot – red

Important:
Risk of damage:
– Installation of the fitting and filter

installation in compliance with EN 806.

– The control unit is only suitable for

indoor use.

» Install kitchen fitting, see Figs. 1 and 2 on

fold-out page II.
When installing on the sink, use the enclosed

support plate (1), see Fig. 1. Insert fitting into
sink (for hole diameter see fold-out page VI).
Feed through hoses one at a time. Do not
damage hoses, see Fig. 2.

» Install wall holder, see (1) in Fig. 3.

Choose suitable screws and plugs if necessary.

» Set water hardness at filter head, see (1) in

Fig. 4.
Set water harness at bypass setting to local

conditions, see table on fold-out page IV. The
relevant water supplier can provide information
on the water hardness.

» Insert filter head, see (2) in Fig. 4.
» Insert filter cartridge, see Fig. 5:

The filter head (2) can be swivelled forwards by
up to 90° in the wall holder (1) to install the
cartridge.

1. Remove protective cover (5) and insert filter

cartridge (4) into filter head to the stop. Note
the installation position of the filter cartridge.

2. Turn locking handle (3) until filter cartridge is

felt locking into place.

» Install control unit, see Fig. 6 on fold-out

page III.

» Connect plug-in connector of fitting to

plug-in connector of control unit, see Fig. 7.

» Connect fitti ng, see Figs. 2 and 8:

1. Connect the pressure hose marked red to the

left service valve (hot water).

2. Fit connector (2) onto service valve on right

(cold water).

3. Connect the two short pressure hoses marked

blue (arrows point towards the fitting) to
connector.

4. Connect the long pressure hose marked blue

(arrow points towards the filter) to filter
head (1) [IN].

5. Connect the long pressure hose marked blue

(arrow points away from the filter towards

the fitting) to filter head (1) [OUT].

» Open hot and cold water supply and check

that connections are watertight.

» Flush filter cartridge, see Fig. 9:

1. Place collecting vessel (at least 2-litre

capacity) under filter to collect the water
flowing out of the hose (3).

2. Open rotation handle (1).

3. Press flush valve (2) on filter head and flush

filter system.

4. Continue flushing until the water emerging

from the hose is clear and free of bubbles
(at least 2 litres).

5. Close rotation handle.

» Connect power supp ly, see Fig. 10 on fold-out

page IV.

» Set the flow rate (factory setting: 4.5 l/mi n), see

Fig. 10:

1. Place measuring beaker (1 litre) under the
spout.

2. With a finger, cover red (2) and green (3)
indicator lamps on control unit simultane ously
for 6 seconds.

The indicator in the rotation handle (1) of the
fitting flashes red.

3. Open rotation handle fully within 2 minut es
and draw off exactly 1.0 litre of filtered water.

4. Close rotation handle.

5. Quickly tap one of the two indicator lamps
twice with a finger.

Both indicator lamps flash on and off 4 t imes and

then remain on.
Repeat the entire process if the indicator lamps do
not flash on and off. Possible causes:
– Time expired (2 minutes)
– Flow rate too slow or too fast

(< 1 l/min or > 6 l/min)
– Tapping did not register
The fitting is now fully installed and ready for
operation.

»Open lever (3) to draw mixed water.
» Ope n rotation handle (1) to draw off filtered

water. The indicator in the rotation handle

indicates the filter capacity:
