3. Setup & Installation
Before installation, ensure you have all necessary tools and components as listed in the product packaging. This faucet is designed for 3 or 4-hole countertop installations.
3.1 Tools Required (Not Included)
- Adjustable wrench
- Phillips screwdriver
- Flashlight
- Safety glasses
3.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris. If replacing an old faucet, remove it and clean the area thoroughly.
- Install Faucet Body: Position the faucet body and handles into the designated holes on the sink or countertop. The TiteSeal mounting technology simplifies this step by eliminating the need for putty.
- Secure Faucet: From underneath the sink, secure the faucet body and handles using the provided mounting hardware. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. The Pfast Connect system ensures a secure and quick connection. Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
- Install Soap Dispenser: Insert the soap dispenser head through its hole and secure it from underneath with the provided nut. Attach the soap bottle and straw.
- Attach Sprayer Hose: Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting under the faucet. Ensure it clicks securely into place. Attach the hose weight to the sprayer hose to ensure proper retraction.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet and sprayer to ensure proper function.
4. Operating Instructions
Your Pfister Hanover faucet is designed for intuitive operation.
4.1 Water Flow and Temperature
- Hot Water: Turn the left handle counter-clockwise to increase hot water flow.
- Cold Water: Turn the right handle counter-clockwise to increase cold water flow.
- Mixing Water: Adjust both handles to achieve the desired water temperature and flow rate.
4.2 Pull-Down Sprayer
The pull-down sprayer offers two distinct spray functions:
- Stream Mode: Provides a steady, aerated flow for filling pots and general washing.
- Spray Mode: Delivers a powerful spray for rinsing dishes and cleaning the sink.
To switch between modes, press the toggle button located on the sprayer head. The AccuDock technology ensures the sprayer head retracts smoothly and securely into the spout when not in use.
4.3 Soap Dispenser
To use the soap dispenser, simply press down on the pump head. To refill, lift the pump head from the top and pour liquid soap directly into the bottle.
5. Maintenance & Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Pfister faucet.
- 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 Tuscan Bronze finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the sprayer head, clean any debris, and reattach.
- Leak Prevention: The Pforever Seal ceramic disc valves are designed for long-term, leak-free performance. If a leak occurs, contact customer support.
6. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator or debris in water lines. | Clean the aerator. Flush water lines by turning off water, disconnecting supply lines, and briefly turning on water to clear debris. |
| Faucet Leaks | Loose connections or worn internal components. | Check and tighten all water supply connections. If leaking persists, contact Pfister customer service for assistance. |
| Sprayer Does Not Retract | Hose weight improperly positioned or obstruction. | Ensure the hose weight is correctly attached and positioned. Check for any obstructions under the sink preventing hose movement. |
| Difficulty Switching Spray Modes | Mineral buildup in sprayer head. | Soak the sprayer head in a vinegar solution to dissolve mineral buildup. |
