4. Installation Guide

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Cornat Fabio SLM faucet:

1. Prepare the Sink: Ensure the mounting hole on your sink or countertop is clean and free of debris. The faucet requires a single hole installation.
2. Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole. From underneath the sink, slide the rubber gasket, then the metal washer, and finally thread the mounting nut onto the faucet shank. Tighten the nut securely using a basin wrench, ensuring the faucet is properly aligned.
3. Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply hoses to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to secure them, being careful not to overtighten.
4. Install Sprayer Hose Weight: Attach the provided weight to the pull-out sprayer hose underneath the sink. This weight helps the sprayer retract smoothly into the faucet body.
5. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are detected, tighten the connections slightly until the leak stops.
6. Flush the System: Turn on the faucet and let the water run for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the water lines.

5. Operating Instructions

The Cornat Fabio SLM faucet is designed for ease of use:

• Water Flow and Temperature: The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Lift the handle to increase water flow. Move the handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water.
• Using the Pull-Out Sprayer: Gently pull the sprayer head from the faucet spout. The hose extends to provide flexibility for various tasks.
• Sprayer Function: The sprayer head typically features a button or switch to toggle between stream and spray modes. Press this button to select your desired water delivery pattern.
• Retracting the Sprayer: When finished, guide the sprayer head back into the faucet spout. The hose weight will assist in smooth retraction.

6. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your faucet:

• Cleaning the Finish: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or cleaners containing bleach, acids, or alcohol, as these can damage the polished finish.
• Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator (at the tip of the sprayer) may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator, clean any debris, and rinse it under running water before reattaching.
