1.4 étapes d'installation

Préparer l'évier/le plan de travail : Ensure the mounting hole is clean and free of debris. The faucet requires a standard single-hole installation.
Attach Supply Hoses: Screw the hot and cold water supply hoses into the base of the faucet. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a quarter turn. Do not overtighten.
Montez le robinet : Place the faucet body through the mounting hole in the sink or countertop. Ensure the rubber gasket is positioned correctly between the faucet base and the sink surface.
Fixez le robinet : From underneath the sink, slide the metal washer and mounting nut onto the threaded shank. Tighten the nut securely with a basin wrench or adjustable wrench until the faucet is stable.
Raccorder l'alimentation en eau : Connect the hot and cold water supply hoses to the corresponding shut-off valves. Use plumber's tape on the threaded connections and tighten with an adjustable wrench.
Installer le tuyau de pulvérisation extractible : Connect the pull-out spray hose to the designated connection point under the faucet. Ensure the weight (if included) is properly attached to the hose to allow smooth retraction.
Test de fuites : Ouvrez lentement l'arrivée d'eau principale et vérifiez l'étanchéité de tous les raccords. Actionnez le robinet pour vous assurer d'un débit et d'une température d'eau corrects.

2. Mode d'emploi

2.1 Contrôle du débit et de la température de l'eau

The Teka MTP 978 features a single lever for controlling both water flow and temperature:

Contrôle de flux : Soulevez le levier vers le haut pour augmenter le débit d'eau. Poussez-le vers le bas pour le diminuer ou le couper.
Contrôle de la température : Déplacez le levier vers la gauche pour l'eau chaude et vers la droite pour l'eau froide. Ajustez sa position entre la gauche et la droite pour obtenir la température d'eau souhaitée.

2.2 Pull-Out Spray Functions

The pull-out spray head offers two distinct water functions:

Normal Stream: Ideal for filling pots and general washing tasks.
Jet de douche : Useful for rinsing food, cleaning utensils, or more precise cleaning of the sink.

To switch between functions, press the button located on the spray head. The spray head can be pulled out from the spout for extended reach and flexibility.

The faucet features a low-profile swivel spout that can rotate 110°. This allows for greater flexibility and access to different areas of the sink, making it easier to wash larger items and preventing unnecessary splashing.

3. Entretien

3.1 Nettoyage du robinet

Nettoyez régulièrement le robinet avec un chiffon doux et du savon doux ou un nettoyant non abrasif spécialement conçu pour les finitions chromées.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., ammonia, bleach) as these can damage the chrome finish.
Après le nettoyage, rincez abondamment à l'eau claire et séchez avec un chiffon doux pour éviter les traces d'eau.

3.2 Cleaning the Anti-Limescale Aerator

The integrated anti-limescale aerator helps prevent mineral buildup. To maintain optimal water flow:

Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout (usually by hand or with a coin).
Rincez l'aérateur sous l'eau courante pour éliminer les débris.
If limescale buildup is present, soak the aerator in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for 15-30 minutes.
Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub away any remaining deposits.
Rinse the aerator thoroughly and reattach it to the spout.

3.3 Ceramic Disc Cartridge

The high-resistance ceramic disc cartridge is designed for long-lasting, leak-free operation. If you experience persistent drips or difficulty controlling water flow/temperature, the cartridge may need to be replaced. This typically requires professional assistance.
