1 Cold Start caring for the environment

2 A fifth of the energy consumed in a typical single-family house is used for heating water, and the proportion is even higher in flats. In light of this, it is vital to constantly find new ways of saving energy without compromising on comfort.

3 9000E - with Cold Start and Eco Plus as standard eco plus With Cold Start, only the cold water flow is activated when the tap is turned on with the lever pointing straight forward. This reduces your hot water consumption by up to 30 percent. Your comfort remains the same; the hot water starts flowing as quickly as with an ordinary tap. FM Mattsson s eco-friendly 9000E mixers have Cold Start as standard. When a traditional tap is turned on with the lever pointing straight forward, both the hot and cold water flows are activated. But the hot water seldom makes it out of the tap. It stops half-way and goes completely unutilised. Small button makes big difference You can save even more energy if you use a 9000E safety mixer with the Eco Plus symbol. These mixers have a flow limiter button on the mixer knob that must be overridden to turn the tap to full flow. 4 5

4 Energysaving taps Model Dual-lever Water consumption* 125 litres In recent years, enormous advances have been made in mixers with energy-saving taps. By replacing your duallever mixer with a single-lever mixer equipped with Cold Start and Eco Flow, you can reduce your water consumption by up to 40 percent (especially your hot water consumption). Single-lever 87 litres Single-lever + Eco Flow + Cold Start 55 litres *Water used for kitchen and washing purposes by one family (four people). 6 7

5 For a better environment We are committed to promoting a healthier, more sustainable environment. To further this aim, we are intensifying our efforts to combat small everyday environmental problems. We know from experience that they affect us just as much as the bigger problems. Together, we have reviewed all aspects of our products from energy and water saving technology in our mixers to transportation and factory energy consumption. Scientists and experts have long been in agreement: Human impact on the planet is constantly increasing. We will do everything we can to bring about positive changes. You can do the same. By installing ecofriendly taps in your kitchen and bathroom, you can reduce your water and energy consumption by up to 30 percent. The idea behind EcoSafe is to always focus on the whole picture. Otherwise we risk improving our environmental performance in one area but losing ground in other areas. Consequently, we must start by minimising the total environmental impact of our activities and production. After this, we will minimise the total impact for you, as a user. Solving this type of environmental issue is no easy task. We have gathered together all the company s experience, expertise and commitment to find the optimum solution. 8 9

6 Our unique benefits CALCIUM TEMP Even if you have hard water in your home, that will not affect our mixers function. We guarantee this. If the function of the mixer s control unit is impaired by limescale deposits, we will repair the fault. The guarantee* covers all FM Mattsson safety mixers. The double action temperature control on our safety mixers ensures you always get the temperature you want. We guarantee that the temperature remains constant within +/- 1 C while the water is running, regardless of temperature or pressure fluctuations in the pipelines. If the mixer does not meet this criterion, we will repair the fault. In order for the guarantee to be valid, you must have access to hot water. The guarantee* covers all FM Mattsson safety mixers. ecosafe eco plus The Ecosafe concept is based on environmental awareness at all stages. This includes minimising environmental impact in the factory, choosing optimal materials, and incorporating energy-smart functions that make the end product ecofriendly and recyclable. Eco Flow is FM Mattsson s simple, smart solution for saving even more water. Eco Flow is a flow limiter device that controls the water flow in single-lever mixers and showers. The taps work just as usual, but the flow is limited to 6 litres per minute in basin mixers and 9 litres per minute in kitchen mixers with a pressure of 3 bar. A simple way to save water, energy and money. The mixer lever is equipped with a limiter device that must be overridden to turn the tap to full flow. When the lever is released, the tap goes back to half flow. This saves more water, since the Eco Plus user must actively choose to turn the water on full.

We guarantee this. If the mixer s closing time is shorter than 0.2 seconds, we will repair the fault. The guarantee* covers all FM Matts son single-lever mixers with soft-close function. We make taps for everyone, including people who are not as strong as you. We want everyone to be able to use our taps on a daily basis. So we were especially pleased when the Swedish Rheumatism Association recently approved several of our 9000E basin mixers, shower mixers and kitchen mixers. And we know we re not the only ones who are pleased. * In order for the guarantee to be valid, the mixer must be installed and used correctly. Tubes and other parts must be installed professionally in conformity with the construction regulations of the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverkets Byggregler). The guarantee does not cover freezing damage or damage and functional faults caused by water impurities. The soft closing function slightly delays the closure of the tap. This prevents pressure shocks in the pipelines, thereby increasing the long-term lifespan of your taps and pipes

Ceramic seal Ceramic instead of standard seals, for decades of perfect function. No dripping taps Soft closing The soft-close system creates a moment s delay before the tap closes. This prevents pressure shocks and water hammer in the pipelines, increasing the lifespan of your taps and pipes in the long term. 5. Cold Start With the lever pointing straight forward, the tap only supplies cold water, instead of a mixture of hot and cold. This reduces your hot water consumption by up to 30 percent without compromising on comfort Materials approved for food contact All parts that touch the water are made of materials approved for food contact.

Limescale-resistant material Hard water leaves no limescale that impairs our mixers function Scald protection A built-in scald protection device instantly cuts off the hot water if the cold water supply stops Guaranteed even temperature Precise temperature and pressure control ensures perfectly constant temperature, whatever the pressure and temperature in the pipelines. 5. Adjustable hot water lock Very simple adjustment for limiting the maximum temperature. Eliminates risk of scalding. CALCIUM TEMP ecosafe eco plus 6.
