5. Operation
5.1. Extending and Retracting the Arm
The pot filler features a dual-jointed swing arm for maximum reach. Gently pull the arm away from the wall to extend it over your desired pot. The joints are designed to move smoothly and hold their position. To retract, simply push the arm back towards the wall until it folds neatly against the backsplash.
5.2. Water Flow Control
The Moen S665SRS pot filler is equipped with two handles for water control:
- Base Handle: Located near the wall, this handle controls the primary water flow to the faucet. Turn it to the ON position to allow water to reach the spout.
- Spout Handle: Located at the end of the arm, this handle controls the final water flow from the spout. Turn it to the ON position to dispense water into your pot.
Both handles must be in the ON position for water to flow. This dual-handle design provides an extra layer of control and helps prevent accidental drips or leaks.

6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning the Finish
The Spot Resist Stainless finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots. To clean, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.

6.2. General Care
- Regularly check all connections for tightness to prevent leaks.
- Ensure the arm moves freely and smoothly. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points.
7. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Water does not flow | One or both handles are closed; main water supply is off. | Ensure both the base and spout handles are in the ON position. Check the main water supply. |
