Installation Instructions
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary tools and that the water supply is turned off. This faucet requires a 4-hole mount for the faucet, single handle, side sprayer, and soap dispenser.
Pre-Installation Checks:
- Verify sink hole configuration (4-hole required).
- Ensure all components are present as per the packing list.
- Turn off the main water supply to your kitchen.
Installation Steps:
- Mounting: Position the faucet, handle, side sprayer, and soap dispenser into the designated holes on your sink or countertop. Secure them from underneath using the provided mounting hardware.
- Water Supply Connections: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Use two wrenches when connecting the small copper lines to prevent crimping; one to hold the faucet fitting and one to tighten the supply line nut. Avoid over-tightening.
- Side Sprayer Connection: Attach the side sprayer hose to its dedicated connection point on the faucet body.
- Soap Dispenser Installation: Insert the soap dispenser into its hole and secure it. Fill the dispenser with your preferred liquid soap.
- Testing: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check for any leaks. Operate the faucet and sprayer to ensure proper function.

Operating Instructions
Faucet Operation:
- To turn on the water, lift the single handle upwards.
- To adjust water temperature, move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
- To turn off the water, push the handle downwards.
Side Sprayer Operation:
- To activate the side sprayer, ensure the main faucet is running, then press the trigger on the sprayer handle.
- The 46-inch hose allows for extended reach to clean various areas of your sink or dishes.
- After use, release the trigger. If the sprayer drips, press the trigger briefly after turning off the water to release any residual pressure.
Soap Dispenser Operation:
- To dispense soap, press down on the pump head.
- Refill the dispenser by lifting the pump head and pouring liquid soap directly into the reservoir from above the counter.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the satin nickel finish.
- Ceramic Cartridge: The faucet is equipped with a durable ceramic cartridge designed to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. No regular maintenance is typically required for the cartridge.
- Flow Restrictor Maintenance: If you experience reduced water flow from the faucet, the flow restrictor may need cleaning. To access it, unscrew the aerator (sediment screen) at the end of the faucet spout. Carefully remove the plastic washer piece, which acts as the flow restrictor. Clean any debris and reassemble.
- Sprayer Dripping: If the side sprayer drips after use, briefly press the sprayer trigger after turning off the water to relieve any built-up pressure in the hose.
The faucet features a corrosion-resistant surface, enhancing its durability and appearance over time.
The faucet utilizes ceramic disc cartridges for reliable, drip-free performance and long-lasting durability.
