- Install the Drain Assembly: Follow the instructions for installing the included drain assembly into the sink drain hole. Connect the drain lift rod to the faucet's lift rod mechanism.

Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with plumbing procedures.

Maintenance and Care
To keep your Moen Brantford Faucet looking and performing its best, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Fingerprint Resistance: The chrome finish is designed to be highly reflective and easy to clean, minimizing visible fingerprints.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and reattach it.
- Leak Prevention: Periodically check all connections for tightness to prevent leaks.
