Positioning
Position Tap-Font as close as possible to directly above under-sink unit.
Never extend either the cable or tubing attached to the head assembly.
If possible position tray on bench so the tap is to the rear, then rotate base
45 degrees anti-clockwise.
Drilling
Use paper template to drill 57 mm hole, 45 mm hole and 4 screw holes.
For timber bench, drill 3 mm screw holes for timber screws provided.
For granite or similar, drill 6 mm holes for stainless screws provided.
Assembling
Fix clamp plate to bench top using 4 "timber" or "stainless" screws
provided.
Remove silicon vent tube from base of tap assembly as shown in diagram.
Pass electrical cable, then tubes, from tap base through pedestal as shown.
Check cable and tubes to ensure all are free, none are twisted or kinked.
