Smart Water It s time to be smart about water. Smarter than ever before. The fact that Oras is the world s leading developer and manufacturer of electronic faucets enables us to say that we are approaching a new era of enjoying water while saving it. The ease and hygiene of using our touchless faucets is just the beginning: our new Oras Eterna can actually show the ideal duration of a shower. With Oras, however, electronic does not equal smart alone. Functionality and innovation are present in endless details, defying conventional thinking and giving you the most user-friendly experience a faucet can give. Smart can be seen in easy installation, safety, usability and reliability; in faucets, shower sets and accessories across our range. Yet, while every Oras product is user-friendly, ecological and safe, if it s touchless, electronic or exceptionally functional and innovative, it will be worthy of the symbol you see above. Smart. 7

Ecology Pure water is becoming a commodity we can seldom take for granted. And even if you live in a place where water is plenty and clean, you might be surprised to know that hot water can amount to more than a third of your household s energy costs. This is why we create no technology without its foundation in ecology. Our first single-lever faucet, designed to save water and energy, was created in 1976. Ever since, we have wanted to lead the way in joining modern technology with green values. Proof of this can be experienced in even our most basic single-lever faucets equipped with eco-functions as well as in our sophisticated thermostats and in our electronic faucets. In its purest form, we label Ecology with a symbol that you can find throughout our product families. 9

Safety You will not burn your fingers on the surface of an Oras faucet. Nor underneath one: even some of our basic faucets come with a safety-button that protects the smallest of hands from harm. Along with saving energy. Steady temperature is a crucial safety factor in the shower, too. And when you choose Oras touchless, it will be impossible to leave water running unattended. The same goes with Oras automatic dish-washer valves that close after the washing is done. This is why Oras is the choice of families with small children and especially households with elderly or disabled people. In Europe, for instance, we already have more senior citizens than ever before. So, we dare proudly say that all our products are easy and safe to use. Always and for all. And especially so, when you see the symbol above. 11

Hygiene According to the World Health Organization (the WHO) there are thousands of diseases, from a common cold to more serious ones, that are spread by touch, and the number is increasing around the globe. That is why we design Hygiene into every form and function of our products such as our Oras Bidetta hand showers for personal hygiene. And our touchless faucets, of course. They are easy, safe and comfortable to use without touching. Which also helps in keeping the home beautiful and tidy. That is why they deserve our special symbol for Hygiene. 13

Luxury Luxury is not just elegance or beauty. Luxury is also functionality that best enables you to enjoy water in your everyday life. Our design is born by need and then perfected into aesthetics. It means you can turn faucets on and off at the touch of a hand. Or without touching them at all. Luxury is water at just the temperature you require, without having to adjust it each time. Luxury is a faucet surface that never gets scalding hot or ice cold. In the hands of our internationally renowned designers, luxury sometimes reaches a peak that is simply impossible to resist. In pure form, amazing details or smoothness of flow. Or all of them. You will see a symbol then if the faucet hasn t blinded you. 15

La Cucina Alessi by Oras La Cucina Alessi by Oras is the result of a project by the world-famous Alessi and Oras, with the goal of bringing both imagination and utmost functionality to the kitchen. The faucet series includes a faucet combination designed by Stefano Giovannoni and has two separate faucets: one for cooking (two-handle faucet) and one for washing hands (touchless faucet). Both faucets can be installed either on the same sink, side by side, or separately, so that a touchless faucet is mounted, for instance, on a washbasin. La Cucina Alessi by Oras The latest kitchen faucet in the La Cucina Alessi by Oras family is a single-lever faucet designed by Alessandro Mendini. A totally unique design with a high, sculptural spout appeals to the eye and creates a characterful effect to the kitchen. The faucet is also available, as standard, with a dishwasher valve. Oras Ventura Oras Ventura is truly a unique, precision kitchen tool. Being beautiful and safe to use, it s a dream come true for those who love to cook a lot at home. The touchless one of the two spouts automatically delivers warm water for hand washing, which is hygienic and saves water. This is important, too, when the kitchen is used by small children or elderly chefs. When you need strictly hot or cold water for cooking, you can get it quickly from the upper spout. The upper spout also allows plenty of working space underneath to wash even large saucepans or rinse a lettuce. Oras Ventura is available with an electronic dishwasher valve that shuts off automatically to prevent water damage. Design: Jorma Vennola. 23

Oras Cubista Art becomes user-friendliness in our exceptionally wide Oras Cubista collection. The design and functionality have been strongly influenced by the geometrical forms of cubism: cones, cylinders and spheres. The range includes faucets for all water points at home: kitchen, bathroom and other sanitary facilities. The speciality of Oras Cubista kitchen faucets lie in the so called timedriven kitchen faucet; the connection valve for a dish washer closes automatically either after three or twelve hours one can never forget it open.

When you open the faucet, water first flows at a limited but mostly sufficient economy flow-rate. If you need more water, just press the eco-button and simultaneously lift the lever and you will pass the standard flow-rate. Oras Vega is truly the original. In many modern variations.

Here up north, Water Is Worth Loving. As indeed it is all over the world. But maybe there s something in the fact that the Nordic nature is so close to water, in all its forms, all year around. Maybe that sparked the ambition that we at Oras have had for over 65 years: to constantly explore and deliver user-friendly, smart, ecological, hygienic, luxurious and safe ways to enjoy water. How does it show? It shows in the fact that all Oras faucets are manufactured in our own factories, in Europe. Every single product is thoroughly tested and has an international product approval. Our processes have environmental, quality and occupational health management certificates and they meet the highest European faucet industry standards for quality and sustainability. Indeed, our first faucet designed to save water and energy was created in 1976. Today, our single-lever faucet cartridge is standard to all types, completed with functional and reliable ceramic discs. Due to decades of experience and our massive testing program we are proud to offer a five-year drop-free guarantee for our single lever faucets. The use of multi-technology in all our processes has led us to numerous ideal solutions, such as using the best possible corrosion resistant material (DZR-brass) and technical plastics to prevent the forming of lime and other impurities. By adding electronics we have taken Oras user-friendliness on to yet a higher level. So, over the years we have moved on from pioneering thermostats to introducing ground-braking eco-buttons and automatic dish-washer valves and all the way to being a leading developer and manufacturer of electronic faucets. They are not only touchless, but can be smart, too, telling you, for example, the ideal duration of a shower. Tomorrow? Possibilities are enormous, as is our global and mutual challenge to save water and energy. Which means that our journey of constant innovation continues. That is how we can ensure the Oras quality for you to Experience. 45

Frequently asked questions You ll find all the answers at oras.com And more. You ll find our products and specifications in depth; inspirations, information and ways to save water, energy and money. To start with. But before you click away, we have gathered some key questions about our products here with answers. To help you enjoy your Oras Experience. 1. What kind of guarantee do we offer on our faucets? Our faucets come with a two year guarantee (raw material and manufacturing faults), valid from the date of purchase or the first day of usage (as proven by the receipt) or from the manufacturing year stamp. The single lever faucet cartridge has a five-year drip-free guarantee with respective limitations. See complete guarantee terms and conditions: www.oras.com 5. The spout of our faucet turns beyond the sink. Is there a way to limit it? All Oras kitchen faucets can be limited so that the spout will not turn beyond the sink. See relevant information for your faucet type: www.oras.com 2. How should our faucets be cleaned? The same rules apply to cleaning faucet surfaces as to cleaning the painted surfaces on other domestic appliances. Faucets must be cleaned using neutral or mild alkaline (ph 6-9) liquid detergents. The usage and dosage instructions provided by the detergent manufacturer(s) must always be followed. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth with the detergent solution. Wipe the faucet and rinse with plenty of clean lukewarm water and finish by wiping dry. IMPORTANT! Do not use a spray can to apply detergent to your faucet. Familiarize yourself with the cleaning instructions supplied with your faucet. 3. Are Oras products certified? Our quality and environmental system is certified according to the international standards ISO 9001,ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. These certificates cover the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and aftersales of faucets and valves. 4. Can a faucet be installed in a sauna? We do not recommend the installation of faucets in steam rooms. Faucets and faucet appliances must not be exposed to temperatures which exceed +65 C. If a faucet is installed in a sauna facility, it must be placed as low and far from the stove as possible. 6. What is the eco button? The eco button on Oras faucets limits water flow. The eco button reduces the maximum flow by setting it to economy mode 60 90% of the maximum flow depending on the faucet s application. If more water is needed, simply press the eco button and lift the lever simultaneously. 7. What is the safety knob? The temperature safety knob ensures that water which is too hot cannot flow out of the faucet by accident. The limit can be set to your requirements, depending on the temperature of the inflowing waters. The safety knob makes the faucet safe to use even for children. 57
8. What is a thermostatic faucet? A thermostatic faucet is a faucet that maintains the water temperature selected, regardless of the temperature difference between the inflowing waters. For all our thermostatic faucets we use the same fast-acting reliable cartridge, which is even suitable for lime containing water. 9. What is a pressostatic faucet? A pressostatic faucet is a faucet that maintains the required temperature of the shower water, regardless of the varying pressures of the inflowing waters. A pressostatic faucet is suitable for use in facilities which have several water outlets and always have plenty of hot water in the reserve (for instance apartment buildings, factories, swimming pools, etc.). In these kinds of facilities, the water pressure is always changing but there is usually enough hot water. The pressostatic faucet reacts quickly and precisely to changes in water pressure. 10. What is a touchless faucet? What benefits does it offer? Oras touchless faucets are easy and safe to use as well as hygienic. You can t forget to turn off the faucet since it closes automatically. Touchless faucets save both water and energy. 12. Is the cartridge always the same for all Oras faucets? Yes, the same cartridge (spare part No. 158890) is suitable for all Oras faucets manufactured since 1982. 13. Why is there a cord pull on the Sensiva shower set? The Oras Sensiva shower set is fitted with a cord pull mechanism. With the help of the cord pull even children can easily adjust the height of the shower. 14. Why do we use plastic in our faucets? Plastic is mainly used for our faucet surfaces and the levers on some faucets. The pressurized faucet parts are always made of dezincification resistant brass. Plastic offers greater comfort especially in bath and shower faucets. It reduces noise and prevents the faucet surface from heating up. Special high-quality technical plastics are selected with utmost care and our products are long lasting and safe to use in a wide range of applications. 11. How does the electronic washing machine valve work? The electronic washing machine valve is turned on by pressing the operating button. A red indicator light blinks once every five seconds. The valve closes automatically after three hours. The valve is also turned off by pressing the operating button. To turn the valve on for 12 hours, push the operating button and hold it down for approximately five seconds. 58
