Main risks

• Water leaks due to incorrectly fitted seals, damaged parts, or over-tightening that can crack components.
• Moisture damage to furniture and floors if dripping is not detected in time.
• Odours and gas backflow if the trap loses its water seal, is installed incorrectly, or remains unused for a long time.
• Blockages caused by hair, soap, limescale or objects, with possible overflow of the basin or bidet.
• Contact with wastewater during disassembly or cleaning, posing a hygiene risk.
• Irritation or hazardous splashes due to improper use of chemical drain cleaners.
• Minor burns from very hot water when opening the trap after use.
• Cuts on sharp metal edges or from tools, and slips due to spills.

Safe use

• Check the trap's compatibility with the type of washbasin or bidet and the connection diameters before installation.
• Position the parts without forcing and align the connections; avoid twisting and strain on the joints.
• Fit the seals in the correct position and orientation; hand-tighten only and do not over-tighten to avoid damaging threads or parts.
• During disassembly or cleaning, place a bucket or cloth underneath; open slowly to drain any retained water.
• After installation, run water for several minutes and visually check that there are no drips or odours at any joint.
• Do not pour oils, paints, plaster, solvents or objects down the drain that could block or damage the trap.
• If using chemical drain cleaners, follow the product instructions, do not mix chemicals, ventilate the bathroom, and protect hands and eyes.
• In the event of a blockage, prioritise accessible mechanical methods and careful disassembly of the trap where possible.
• If the bathroom is left unused for some time, run water periodically to maintain the trap's water seal and prevent odours.
• Avoid impacts or placing loads on the trap when storing items in the vanity unit.

Storage and maintenance

• Store parts and spares in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight and heat; keep seals and threads clean.
• Check periodically that there are no drips; if any occur, check the seating of the seals and the tightness without over-tightening.
• Clean the inside of the trap periodically to remove hair and sediments using warm water and a mild detergent.
• Avoid pouring boiling water into plastic traps and frequent use of harsh chemicals that degrade seals.
• Replace seals or parts that are deformed, hardened or cracked to prevent leaks and bad odours.
• In cold areas, protect exposed installations against frost to prevent breakage due to freezing.

Restrictions of use

• Intended solely for the drainage of washbasins and bidets; not suitable for conveying drinking water or other fluids.
• Do not modify, drill or cut the trap; use only parts and seals compatible with the model.
• Do not subject it to prolonged exposure to very hot water, grease or solvents that may damage plastics or seals.
• Do not install outdoors or in locations without access for inspection and basic maintenance, unless adequately protected.
• Do not lean on or hang objects from the trap or its connections.
• Keep small parts out of the reach of children during installation and maintenance.
