Operating Instructions

Water Flow and Temperature:

The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Move the handle up to increase flow and down to decrease it. Swivel the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.

Pulldown Sprayer Functions:

The pulldown spray head offers two distinct spray functions:

• Aerated Stream: Ideal for everyday tasks like filling pots.
• Powerful Rinse: A stronger spray for heavy-duty cleaning.

Switch between these functions by pressing the button located on the spray head. The Reflex system ensures the spray head retracts smoothly and docks securely after use.

Power Boost:

Activate the Power Boost feature by pressing the dedicated button on the spray head. This temporarily increases water pressure by 50% for faster filling or more effective rinsing. The Power Boost function will automatically deactivate when the water is turned off.

The pulldown sprayer provides flexibility for various kitchen tasks, such as rinsing produce.

Maintenance and Care

To maintain the appearance and performance of your Moen Brantford faucet, follow these simple care guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Spot Resist Finish: The Oil Rubbed Bronze finish is designed to resist water spots and fingerprints, making cleaning easier. Simply wipe with a soft cloth to maintain its luster.
• Aerator Cleaning: Periodically unscrew and clean the aerator at the tip of the spout to remove any mineral buildup that may affect water flow.

The spray head features buttons for easy switching between aerated stream and powerful rinse, and activating Power Boost.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Moen Brantford faucet, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator is clogged with mineral deposits. Clean or replace the aerator if necessary. Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
• Leaking Faucet: A persistent drip or leak may indicate a worn-out cartridge. Refer to the full instruction manual for details on replacing the cartridge or contact Moen customer support.
• Spray Head Not Retracting: Ensure there are no obstructions under the sink preventing the hose weight from moving freely. Check that the hose weight is properly positioned on the hose.
• Temperature Issues: Verify that both hot and cold water supply lines are connected correctly and their shut-off valves are open.

For more complex issues or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact Moen customer support.
