Setup and Installation
Pre-Installation
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve and turn off the water supply to your kitchen sink.
- Clear Workspace: Ensure the area under the sink is clear and accessible.
- Remove Old Faucet: If replacing an existing faucet, disconnect the water supply lines and mounting nuts, then remove the old faucet.
- Inspect Mounting Surface: This faucet is designed for Deck Mount, Single Hole installation. Ensure your sink or countertop has the appropriate opening.
Installation Steps
- Position Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole on your sink or countertop. Ensure the faucet is oriented correctly.
- Secure Faucet: From underneath the sink, place the rubber gasket, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Tighten the mounting nut securely by hand, then use a basin wrench to fully tighten, ensuring the faucet is stable.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Connect the filtered water supply line to its designated inlet. Use thread sealant tape on all threaded connections to prevent leaks.
- Connect Filter System: If an external filtering system is used, connect it according to its specific instructions. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections as needed.
- Flush Faucet: Turn on the faucet to both hot and cold settings, and the filtered water setting, allowing water to run for several minutes to flush out any debris from the lines.
Operating Instructions
Your Rohl U.KIT1575LS-IB-2 faucet features three distinct handles for precise control:
- Hot Water Handle: Typically located on the left, turn this handle to control the flow of hot water.
- Cold Water Handle: Typically located on the right, turn this handle to control the flow of cold water.
- Filtered Water Handle: This dedicated handle activates the filtered water supply, providing clean drinking water.
Adjust the handles to achieve the desired temperature and flow rate for your needs. The filtering function operates independently via its dedicated handle.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet
To maintain the Polished Inca Brass finish of your faucet, follow these guidelines:
- Use only a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to clean the faucet surface.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Do not use: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, bleach, or any harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and void your warranty.
Filter Replacement
The filtering mechanism requires periodic filter replacement to ensure optimal water quality. Refer to the specific instructions provided with your filter cartridge for replacement frequency and procedure. Typically, filters should be replaced every 6-12 months, or as indicated by reduced flow or taste changes.
