Operation Guide

Using your DELSJÖN faucet.

Water flow: Lift lever up to start water flow. Higher lift increases flow rate.
Temperature control: Move lever left for colder water, right for hotter water.
Pull-out spray head: Pull head down from spout. Press button on head to switch between stream (for filling) and spray (for rinsing).
Retracting hose: Gently guide hose back; it retracts automatically. Ensure no kinks.
Aerator function: Reduces splashing and saves water. Clean periodically if flow decreases.

Note: If water temperature is inconsistent, check household water heater settings.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular care ensures longevity and performance.

Cleaning: Wipe with soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
Avoid: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or acidic substances (vinegar, bleach) that can damage finish.
Aerator cleaning: Unscrew aerator monthly, rinse to remove sediment, and reinstall.
Spray head cleaning: Soak in vinegar solution if nozzles clog; rinse thoroughly.
Hose care: Avoid sharp bends; retract gently to prevent damage.

CAUTION! Do not use harsh chemicals. Do not disassemble cartridge unless necessary.
