MAINTENANCE
General maintenance
Clean the tap only with a little detergent and a
damp cloth. Then rinse the tap with some water
and wipe it down with a dry cloth.
Do not use cleaning agents containing a solvent
or acid, such as lime scale removers, household
vinegar or cleaning agents with acetic acid. These
substances damage the surface. The tap will
become matt and scratched.
Lime scale deposits can be prevented by drying
the tap after use.
If lime scale deposits nevertheless occur, remove
these using a citric acid-based cleaning agent.
Check regularly whether water drips out of the
inlet combination. This dripping is a sign that the
inlet combination is (still) working correctly.
Always use original Franke parts for maintenance
or repair. This guarantees the safety and proper
function of the product and safeguards any
warranty claims.
Replacement or repair of parts may only be
carried out by an approved servicing company or
by Franke Service.

The filter cartridge must be changed at regular
intervals. Neglecting to change the filter as
indicated by this manual may invalidate your
warranty.
Descaling tap sieve
Always use a citric acid-based descaling agent.
Other substances will damage the material!
Loosening and tightening can be made easier by
wrapping an elastic band around the sleeve of
the tap sieve. Take care that the sleeve of the tap
sieve is not damaged by the use of tools.
Over the course of time, lime scale deposits will
appear on and alongside the tap sieve (aerator).
Unscrew the sleeve of the tap sieve (fig. 7A).
Clean the tap sieve using a suitable descaling
agent (fig. 7B).
Place the tap sieve into the sleeve (fig. 7C).
Place the gasket onto the tap sieve (fig. 7D) and
screw on the sleeve finger-tight (fig. 7E).
