Product Information

Full details

The Smeg MDF50CR is a semi-professional mixer tap designed for modern kitchens seeking a blend of retro style and practical functionality. Ideal for home cooks who value both aesthetics and ease of use, its key benefit lies in the versatile pull-out spray and 360° swivel spout for efficient cleaning and maneuverability. A potential caveat for some users might be its maximum operating pressure of 5 bar, which is standard but worth noting for those with very high-pressure water systems.

The energy-saving cartridge defaults to cold water when the lever is in the central position, which helps reduce unnecessary hot water usage and lowers energy bills.

How do I clean the tap to maintain its finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that can damage the gloss finish.

What is the swivel angle of the spout?

The spout offers a full 360° swivel angle, providing maximum flexibility and reach across your sink.

Does the tap come with connecting hoses?

Yes, the tap includes hoses with a G3/8 connecting thread.

What is the maximum water pressure recommended for this tap?

The maximum recommended operating pressure for this tap is 5 bar.

What material is the faucet body made of?

The faucet body is constructed from durable brass.

Troubleshooting

Low water pressure from spout or spray

Check if the aerator is clogged and clean it. Ensure water supply valves are fully open. Verify that the pull-out hose is not kinked.

Tap drips after being turned off

The ceramic cartridge may need cleaning or replacement. Ensure the handle is fully in the off position. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

Pull-out spray hose is difficult to retract

Check for any obstructions under the sink that may be interfering with the hose's path. Ensure the hose is not twisted.

No hot water or cold water when lever is in expected position

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the tap. Check if the individual supply valves are open.
