14. Cleaning the ceramic filter (H) – see figure 11
Due to filtration of particulate contaminants from the water during use, the
flow of water from the filter may reduce over a period of time. To restore
flow to its normal level simply clean the ceramic filter as follows:
14.1 Hold the ceramic filter in a bowl of water or under running water.
Ensure that the open ended plastic mount is clear of the water to avoid
contamination
14.2 Take a clean kitchen scouring pad in one hand and cup it around the
circumference of the ceramic filter at the top next to the mount. Press
gently onto the filter surface with the scouring pad, whilst quickly turning
the filter with the other hand
14.3 Apply a gentle even pressure with the pad and slowly work down the
length of the filter once. Ensure that the cleaning is uniform over the whole
filter
15. Re-setting the Mixer Tap filtered water indicator light
or changing the battery – see figure 12
When the ceramic filter has been changed the Mixer Tap filtered water
indicator light will need to be re-set. To re-set the indicator light or change
the battery, follow the steps below. It is recommended that a new mixer tap
battery is fitted every 12 months
15.1 Remove the battery holder by pulling out from the underside of the filtered
water tap operating lever
15.2 Remove the battery
15.3 Re fit the new battery or if you are just re-setting the indicator light put
the old battery back in. The led light on the circuit board will flash red then
blue
15.4 Push the battery holder into the underside of the filtered water tap
operating lever, ensure the light on the circuit board aligns with the light
lens. The indicator light is now re-set for use with the new ceramic filter,
when the filtered water tap is operated the indicator light flashes ‘blue’

11.1 Use only soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth to clean the filter housing
and mixer tap, avoid the use of:
