7 KWC + KWC + INNOVATION TouchProtect SprayClean IntelligentControl Safe to use: An insulated hot water guidance system with a double skin principle means the body of the tap or the pull-out spray can become warm but never hot. In this way, TouchProtect intelligently prevents scalding. Actively helps with the removal of limescale: Any deposits are sprayed away automatically when the water is running. The special fastening mechanism helps with more stubborn lime deposits: simply turn, clean, and the job is done. Intuitive control meets modern convenience: IntelligentControl reacts to a tap of your finger, can be programmed based on your personal habits and requirements, and has a light ring that indicates the current water temperature. SprayLock PowerClean TwistProtect Adjust the flow: With SprayLock, you can keep the jet of water from your tap flowing exactly how you want, even when the water is shut off. When you turn the water back on, the water flows in the same way again. The spray you want at the touch of a button: PowerClean makes it exceedingly easy to switch the flow of water on the spray head from a standard spray to a fine needle spray. Effortless work around the sink: TwistProtect prevents the hose from twisting or knotting. HighFlex LEDShine ShieldProtect Increased freedom of movement and ease of use: HighFlex makes it possible to move the spring hose in every direction while ensuring it remains reliably stable when not in use.

9 KWC THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION Achieving excellence in anything is a journey, a constant pursuit of perfection. For KWC, and the great Craftsmen we employ, this journey has led to our company being recognised as one of the finest makers of taps anywhere in the world.

10 KWC IT IS A RECOGNITION THAT WE NEVER TAKE LIGHTLY. Because we see our life s work for what it truly is: the opportunity to make a product of perfection. One that connects all who use it, with the one true source of life on this planet a source we in Switzerland have been blessed with in great abundance. Water. Through design, through a tremendous sense of aesthetic, through precision and handcrafting, and yes, through a good deal of blood, sweat and tears, we recognised a long time ago one undeniable truth: AT KWC, OUR DESTINY WAS NEVER TO INVENT THE TAP, OUR DESTINY WAS TO PERFECT IT. Fortunately for us, we just happened to be genetically and geographically predisposed to creating perfection, after all, we re Swiss. It s in our DNA. And so it was, back in 1874, when KWC was founded by Adolf Karrer, that this journey of perfection would begin. Not with taps to start, but with exquisite music boxes. Even back then, a strong sense of aesthetic had KWC creating works of art. But it was an art form that combined artistry with mechanical mastery. KWC s music boxes became famous, not only for their beauty, but for their precision and for their tremendous attention to detail. As all journeys can take interesting turns, so too would ours. Because in the late 1800 s, the demand for convenient access to water in households was growing, so much so, that soon KWC would test the waters, so to speak, and begin the production of taps. It didn t take long before KWC s unique ability to combine artistry with mechanical mastery would set us apart. 7

11 KWC By 1906, some of the great brands of the era were knocking on our door to produce custom-made taps that would meet, or better still, exceed their expectations. These included the Hotel Ritz in Paris, the Hotel Negresco in Nice and many more. WITH THIS KIND OF ATTENTION, WORD SOON SPREAD ABOUT KWC, ABOUT ITS ARTISTRY, ABOUT ITS CRAFTSMANSHIP, ABOUT ITS ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND ITS QUALITY. The world had discovered the Swiss Watch of Taps. And it wanted more. KWC perfected the tap design and created a legacy of industry firsts, like the retractable hand tap in 1957 And they continued to do it again and again with a spirit of innovation never seen before. TO THIS DAY, IN EVERY SKETCH OUR DESIGNERS MAKE, EVERY DIE WE CAST, EVERY TAP WE POLISH BY HAND, ECHOES OF A GREAT HISTORY ARE ALL AROUND US. SO TOO IS A VISION FOR OUR FUTURE. It is a vision that recognises the gift of nature that we Swiss feel to our core and the need for sustainability rather than disposability. It is a vision that allows every customer to experience the power, the beauty and the essence of nature that flows through our products. To have a true Swiss Water Experience. Precise. Pure. Elegant. And it is a vision that keeps us on this journey that began over one hundred and forty years ago in the pursuit of perfection and the achievement of excellence in connecting humans with water. That is purpose. That is Swiss. That is KWC. 8

59 Technical information The kitchen tap applications shown in this brochure are examples only. The technology and design may be subject to change during further product development. The suitability of the taps for the property concerned must be checked on a case-by-case basis. Planning and technical implementation is subject exclusively to the specifications and assembly and service instructions provided by Franke Water Systems AG, KWC. Relevant information can be ordered from KWC or found at Differences in colour on different parts of a stainless steel tap cannot be excluded. This may be caused by various factors: 1. Slight differences in material composition may cause the stainless steel to take on a different tone (more yellow or blue in colour). 2. Different cooling or production treatment parameters may also cause colour differentiation. 3. Different surface consistencies caused by the production process (grinding, turning) may result in differences in light refraction. In a conscious effort to make both the material and the production process clearly visible, no surface coatings are used on KWC stainless steel taps. By keeping production tolerances at a low level, KWC tries to keep colour differentiation to a minimum. Operating Data Minimal operating pressure 1 bar (15 PSI) Ideal operating pressure 3 bar (45 PSI) Maximum operating pressure 5 bar (70 PSI) Equal pressures are recommended Maximum hot water temperature 70 C (180 F) We strongly recommend that your plumber or installer checks the water pressure in your home before making a purchase. Attention: Before installation, flush pipes thoroughly! Damages on the tap resulting from incorrect handling are excluded from the manufacturers warranty. 56
