Operating Instructions
Touch2O Technology:
To activate or deactivate water flow, simply touch any part of the faucet spout or handle with your wrist or forearm. The water will flow at the temperature set by the manual handle position.

Manual Handle Operation:
The single lever handle controls both water flow volume and temperature. Move the handle up to increase flow and down to decrease. Move it left for hot water and right for cold water.
Pull-Down Sprayer:
Gently pull down the spray wand from the spout. The sprayer offers two modes: stream and spray. Use the toggle switch on the spray head to switch between these modes. When finished, guide the spray wand back into the spout; the MagnaTite Docking system will secure it in place.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet:
To maintain the chrome finish, clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that could damage the finish. For mineral buildup on the spray holes, gently wipe them with your finger to dislodge deposits.
Battery Replacement:
The Touch2O Technology is powered by 4 AAA batteries (included). When the batteries are low, the TempSense LED light may flash intermittently or the touch function may become unreliable. Replace all 4 batteries simultaneously with new alkaline AAA batteries to ensure optimal performance.
