Installation Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mounting Surface
- Ensure the sink or countertop has a single faucet hole of the appropriate size for deck mounting.
- Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to ensure a good seal.
Step 2: Install the Faucet
- Place the faucet body through the mounting hole on the sink or countertop.
- From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to snug it firmly, but do not overtighten.

Step 3: Connect Water Supply
- Connect the single supply line from the faucet to the appropriate hot or cold water supply valve. Use thread sealant tape on the threads for a watertight seal.
- Tighten the connection with a wrench, ensuring it is secure but not overtightened.
Step 4: Test for Leaks
- Slowly turn on the main water supply.
- Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are detected, turn off the water supply and tighten the connections as needed.
- Operate the faucet to ensure proper water flow and temperature control.
Operating Instructions
The Chicago Faucets 3500-E2805ABCP features a single handle for water control.
- To Turn On/Off: Lift the handle to turn on the water flow. Push the handle down to turn off the water flow.
- To Adjust Flow: The height to which the handle is lifted controls the water flow rate.
- Temperature Control: This is a single supply faucet, meaning it delivers either hot or cold water depending on which supply line it is connected to. It does not mix hot and cold water.
Maintenance and Care
Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain the appearance and function of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator from the spout and clean any debris or mineral buildup. Rinse and reattach.

| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
