1.  Position the Font template (provided) on the bench area. Ensure the 
position you select is within the length of the supply tube and USB cable 
fixed to the Tap Head Assembly. These cannot be extended. 
2.  Check again for correct positioning. The supply hoses must have 
constant fall back to the tank assembly. Cut the holes as shown on the 
template. 
3.  Once holes are cut, locate the Font base in position, from the underside, 
lightly tighten the securing rod with the nut and washer provided.
4.  Apply a light smear of silicon sealant to the underside of the black base 
ring, this will provide a water tight seal against the Font base when 
clamped.
 * Ensure the plastic spacer is correctly located under the Font.
5.  Now take the Tap Head Assembly. Feed the hoses and USB cable 
through the Font base, then through the plastic spacer that sits under 
the font base but on the bench top. This stops warping of the base 
plate. Ensure the Tap spout is directly centred over the Font drain. Fit 
the “Spider Clamp”, nut and washer onto the “All Thread”. Have all the 
supply tubes and USB cable located evenly between the “Spider Clamp” 
legs. When satisfied with the positioning, tighten the fixing nut with the 
Tube Spanner provided in the kit. 
6.  Tighten the securing pin so the Font base is flush with the bench top.
  NOTE: The fixing nut above the drain elbow can be loosened to correctly 
  position the direction of the elbow. Ensure when the re-positioning is   
  complete the nut is re-tightened to ensure a water tight seal.
7.  Connect a drain hose (22mm ID) from the Font base outlet elbow to the 
closest drain trap spigot available. If a spigot is not available use the 
snap on spigot and worm drive clamps supplied in the kit. (Instructions 
and diagrams are supplied in the kit).
8.  Ensure the positioning of the snap-on spigot is on the “sink” side of the 
trap and not the “waste” side. Once positioned, a hole (13mm ID) will 
need to be drilled to provide waste access to the drain line. The snap-on 
unit will require suitable sealant to keep it water tight against the waste 
pipe. Finish by fitting the worm drive clamps tightly on either side of the 
spigot and fitting worm drive clamps to either end of the drain hose.  
The drain hose from the Font must have constant fall
9.  Connect the Tap head Assembly supply hoses and vent as per the 
instructions contained in the installation procedure section of this 
document. 
    NOTE: A stainless steel washer is supplied to go in between the Spider  
  Clamp and the underside of the benchtop. See location as shown.

Operating the Mixer Tap
The Mixer tap is operated as a conventional ‘Flick Mixer’
Lifting the handle up will increase the flow rate and lowering the handle will 
reduce the flow rate. Push the handle all the way down to turn the tap off. (For  
Standard and Tall tap) For Square tap pulling the handle backwards away from 
the tap body increases the flow and pushing forwards towards the tap body 
decreases the flow.
When the handle is moved to the left, the temperature is increased and when 
moved to the right the temperature is decreased. The final temperature will be 
dependant on the temperature of the incoming cold water.
The spout may be swivelled, left or right, for convenience.
