Operation
Your Moen Brantford MotionSense Wave Faucet offers multiple ways to control water flow:
MotionSense Wave Technology:
- Ready Sensor (Front): Position your hands or an object in front of the faucet base to activate water flow. Water will run as long as the object is detected.
- Wave Sensor (Top): Wave your hand over the top of the faucet to turn the water on or off. This sensor provides continuous water flow until another wave gesture is detected.
Manual Handle Operation:
The single handle allows for manual control of water flow and temperature. Move the handle forward or backward to adjust temperature, and lift it up or down to control flow intensity. The handle can override the MotionSense sensors.
Reflex System and Spray Settings:
The pull-down spray wand features the Reflex system, ensuring smooth extension, easy maneuverability, and secure retraction. Use the buttons on the spray head to switch between different spray modes, including a powerful Power Clean spray for tough messes.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and appearance of your faucet.
Cleaning the Finish:
To clean the Oil Rubbed Bronze finish, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishes, or waxes, as these can damage the finish.
Battery Replacement:
The MotionSense system is powered by 6 AA batteries. When the batteries are low, the sensor light may flash, or the faucet may become unresponsive. Replace all 6 batteries with new AA alkaline batteries. The battery pack is typically located under the sink and can be easily accessed.
Aerator Cleaning:
If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout, clean any debris, and rinse it before reattaching.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your faucet, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water flow from sensors. | Low or dead batteries; sensor obstruction; control box issue. | Replace batteries; clear sensor area; check control box connections. |
| Water flow is weak. | Clogged aerator; low water pressure. | Clean aerator; check main water supply pressure. |
| Faucet drips or leaks. | Loose connections; worn cartridge. | Tighten connections; contact Moen support for cartridge replacement. |
| Sensors activate unexpectedly. | Reflective surfaces; objects too close to sensors. | Ensure no objects are within sensor range; clean reflective surfaces. |
