Setup and Installation
The Rohl C7108NPN handspray is designed as a replacement or accessory for compatible Rohl kitchen faucet systems (A3608 and A3606 Anti-Drip). Please ensure you have the necessary components before beginning installation.
Required Components (Not Included):
- Escutcheon Plate (C7129): This plate is necessary for proper mounting and aesthetic finish.
- Handspray Hose (C7092): A compatible hose is required to connect the handspray to your faucet's water supply.
Installation Steps:
- Ensure the main water supply to your kitchen faucet is turned off.
- If replacing an existing handspray, carefully disconnect the old handspray and hose from the faucet assembly.
- Attach the new handspray hose (C7092) to the inlet connection of the Rohl C7108NPN handspray. The handspray features a female inlet connection. Ensure a secure, watertight seal.
- Connect the other end of the handspray hose to the designated port on your Rohl A3608 or A3606 faucet system.
- Install the escutcheon plate (C7129) if applicable, following the instructions provided with the plate.
- Slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks at all connection points. Tighten connections as needed.
- Test the handspray's operation.
Note: For detailed instructions specific to your Rohl faucet model, please refer to its original installation manual. Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure about any steps.
Operating Instructions
The Rohl C7108NPN handspray is designed for simple and effective operation.
- Activation: To activate the water flow from the handspray, press and hold the thumb button located on the top of the handspray handle.
- Water Flow Control: The water flow rate and temperature are controlled by your main kitchen faucet's handle. The handspray acts as a diversion from the main spout.
- Deactivation: Release the thumb button to stop the water flow from the handspray. Water will then typically divert back to the main faucet spout, depending on your faucet's design.
While the thumb button requires continuous holding for operation, this design ensures precise control over water delivery.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and continued performance of your Rohl handspray.
Cleaning the Finish:
- Clean the polished nickel finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
Addressing Clogged Nozzles:
Over time, mineral deposits from water can clog the handspray nozzles, affecting spray performance. If you notice reduced or erratic water flow:
- Carefully remove the handspray from its hose connection.
- Submerge the nozzle end of the handspray in a solution of white vinegar for several hours (e.g., 2-4 hours, or overnight for severe clogging).
- After soaking, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub away any loosened deposits from the nozzles.
- Rinse the handspray thoroughly with clean water before reattaching it.
Regular cleaning of the nozzles can prevent significant mineral buildup.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced or erratic water flow from handspray. | Clogged nozzles due to mineral buildup. | Soak the nozzle end in white vinegar to dissolve mineral deposits. Gently scrub and rinse. (Refer to Maintenance section). |
| Handspray leaks at connection point. | Loose connection or worn washer/gasket. | Ensure connections are tight. Check and replace any worn washers or gaskets in the hose connection. |
| Thumb button is stiff or difficult to press. | Mineral buildup around the button mechanism. | Soak the handspray in white vinegar, focusing on the button area. Work the button gently while soaking. |
| No water from handspray. | Main water supply off, faucet not diverting water, or severe clog. | Check if main water supply is on. Ensure your main faucet is set to divert water to the handspray. Check for severe clogs in the handspray or hose. |
