Hello

I bought a Grohe two hole tap like this one to install in a cloakroom, and got this concealed mixer for the tap. While all the pictures online show the tap on the right, the Grohe website clearly states the tap can be placed on the right or left. Due to space limitations, we need to have the tap on the left, so rotated the concealed mixer by 180 degrees. The problem with this is that the tap lever now points up instead of down (see attached photo). Rotating the lever by 180 degrees will then mean pushing it in for flow, rather than pulling it outwards. What do we need to do to get the lever pointing down, and working correctly? We couldn't find any advice or documentation for this anywhere online.

Many thanks!
Olly
