Hello,
I have a question about the single-lever mixer Similor Milor: the lever is loose. How can I tighten the lever again? Under the lever (handle) there is a black screw, which I assume is made of plastic. I slightly turned it, but now the lever is even looser. However, I can’t remove the screw...
Is this just a “cover screw,” and is there an Allen screw underneath?

This shouldn’t be too difficult, but I’m not managing it... and I don’t want to damage anything.

Regards,
Thomas

On their website, the construction of the fixture is not clear. The best option would be to contact the manufacturer directly.

Thank you.
I have now also looked at the operating manuals on the KWC website, where you can see that there are 2 screws stacked on top of each other. An Allen key is specified for these. So the upper one must really be a cover screw. Maybe it’s just stuck tight, like the "Eternal."

We had the same problem. We then called the company, and they explained it to us. Under this cover screw, there is the actual screw. You tighten it slightly, and then the lever is secure again.

Exactly, and we have had the same experiences. This was not clearly visible on the company’s website. We then called the company, and they explained everything to us in detail.

Very friendly service. 🙂

I am currently facing this problem and thank you for the thread. I also have a single-lever mixer and cannot remove the screw. When I turn the other screw, everything becomes looser. So this seems to be a general issue.

I will call the company there.
