Grohe Flair 32 454, Installation Manual

Page: 5 / 22

6
This GROHE fitting can be used in conjunction with
a pressurised storage heater or an instantaneous heater.
Operation with unpressurised storage heaters
( = open water heaters) is not possible.
To ensure correct operation of the fitting, the flow
pressure should be between 1 and 5 bar.
It is recommendable to install a pressure-reducing valve
in the case of higher flow pressures.
In the case of new installations, flush the cold
and hot water lines thoroughly until the water is
completely free of contamination. Otherwise any
residues remaining in the lines may block the
fitting and contaminate the drinking water.
Make sure that you do not damage the fitting
surfaces with the tool during installation. For this
reason, never use toothed pliers.

Insert spray hose J through spout K and guide it
through the mixer body from above. Insert spout K
until it snaps into place. Ensure that guide ring L is
positioned. Screw pull out spray M onto spray hose J
without using any additional seals.
To ensure that pull out spray
M is correctly seated
when inserted, lug M1 on the pull out spray must

Ensure that you do not bend or twist the fitting
pressure hoses.
7 Screw the fitting pressure hoses with the seal Q to the
service valves.
Open the cold and hot water supply and check
the connections for watertightness.
8 Operate the fitting as shown.
This fitting is equipped with a flow rate limiter, permitting
an infinitely variable individual reduction in flow rate.
The highest possible flow rate is set at the factory before
despatch.
The use of flow rate limiters in combination with
hydraulic instantaneous heaters is not
recommended.

Lever out the plug R . Remove the set screw S using
a 3mm allen key and remove the lever T . Remove the
cap U .
0 Change the flow rate by turning the adjusting screw
using a 2.5mm allen key.
Fault: Flow rate noticeably reduced or changed spray
pattern
1. Insufficient supply pressure. Check the upstream
installation.
2. Mousseur (13 967) blocked/dirty. Clean or replace
the mousseur.
3. Non-return valve (08 565) blocked / dirty: Clean or
replace the non-return valve.
Fault: Fitting housing leaking
1. Cartridge (46 048) screws loose. Tighten the cartridge
screws alternately.
2. Seals at cartridge base damaged or dirt particles on
sealing surfaces. Close the cold and hot water supply.
Check and clean sealing surfaces, or replace
cartridge completely.
3. Impermissible operating conditions, such as hot water
temperature above 80 °C, pressure surges in
upstream installation. Ensure that the operating
conditions are in order. Replace cartridge completely
if necessary.
Please contact your installer in the event of faults not
described here.
For directions on care, please refer to the accompanying
Care Instructions. Observe the valid national regulations
