User-friendliness Every Oras faucet is designed to make your life easier. This is how we define user-friendliness. This is what makes Oras unique. This is what should be the first thought you have after using any Oras product. This is our promise. In the following pages, you will see symbols and themes that take you to finer dimensions of user-friendliness. They are features that can be found in all our products – and that we truly emphasize in some of them. By marking them with a symbol. To help you browse through our product families and find exactly what you want. Welcome to user-friendliness. Welcome to the Oras Experience.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Optima The story of this kitchen faucet began with a careful examination of all the needs you can have in the kitchen. It ends by presenting this contemporary faucet with all the imaginable user-friendly features. This kitchen faucet leads the way for all the other members of the Oras Optima family with its smartness, functionalities and design principles. The touchless function gives you a vivid water flow when you place your hands under the spout – hygienic and easy. With the two easy-grip levers you can quickly get cold or hot water. The tall design leaves plenty of space to operate under the spout. The kitchen faucet is also available with a smart dishwasher valve and a digital display which shows you the current water temperature. Design: Kirsi Svärd
23
Oras Aventa Oras Aventa truly combines modern design with ease of use and versatility. All the necessary adjustments can be handled with a single grip while the high position of the faucet gives you plenty of room to maneuver. And for those hardto-reach places, just pull out the extendable spout – and you’re done in no time! This is user-friendliness the Oras way. Design: Jorma Vennola.
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. The arching spout of the Oras Cubista kitchen faucet makes Oras Cubista a true center-piece in the kitchen. While creating sufficient working space for washing the biggest pots and pans. Design: Kirsi Svärd.
Oras Optima Oras Optima kitchen faucet with a stylish combination of chrome and deep grey is best suited to complete a modern kitchen. The wide space under a turnable spout facilitates the everyday kitchen routines. The easy-grip material of the lever is pleasant to touch, and the contrast of the colors makes the lever more visible. The water flow and temperature are both adjusted from the same handle. All materials used in connection with water are lead-free. The kitchen faucet is also available as a version with a smart dishwasher valve which closes automatically after the dishwasher program has finished. Design: Kirsi Svärd
24
Oras Vienda A faucet family that combines decades of experience with today’s thinking. The evolution of Oras core values in faucet design and user-friendliness has formed Oras Vienda into a very easy, intuitive and functional faucet for daily use. The water temperature and flow can be adjusted smoothly. The rounded shapes keep the faucet dry and stainless from drying water. This way the faucet surface is easy to keep clean and hygienic. The kitchen faucet has a high spout that gives more work space under the faucet. Due to its functionality, Oras Vienda also saves water and energy. When you take Oras Vienda, you can take it easy. Design: Kirsi Svärd.
Oras Vega A faucet that began saving water in 1976. That year, we created our first singlelever faucet, designed to save water and energy. In developing the Oras Vega series, the starting point was to use existing and guaranteed Oras technology and to improve the usability of the faucet with the firm and user-friendly design. In the new Oras Vega, there is a compact lever with our eco-button, which makes it easier to save water and energy. 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.
Oras Safira Oras Safira is our basic yet durable and versatile single-lever faucet family, offering an exceptionally wide range of faucets for both bathrooms and kitchen. Oras Safira also comes with a built-in limitaton option for water temperature and maximum flow-rate. To make your life easier. And like all our single-lever faucets, Oras Safira can be supplied with assist handles to accommodate users with special needs. These handles can be an advantage for the elderly or the disabled – and especially in situations where hygiene is top priority.
Oras Saga Like our timeless classic, Oras Safira, you’ll find lots of lasting qualities in Oras Saga. Pure and simple forms tell the story: this faucet, in all its variations is built to be user-friendly – and to last.

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. The head office of the Group is located in Rauma, Finland, and the company’s factories are located in Rauma, Burglengenfeld (Germany), Kralovice (Czech Republic) and Olesno (Poland). 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.

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.
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
