Required Tools (Not Included):

Step-by-Step Installation:
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink hole is clean and free of debris. If replacing an old faucet, remove it and clean the area thoroughly.

- Secure Faucet from Below: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, then the metal washer, and finally the mounting nut onto the mounting rod.
- Tighten Mounting Nut: Hand-tighten the mounting nut, then use an adjustable wrench to firmly secure the faucet to the sink. Do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions
The GROHE Grohk 3287500A Lavatory Centerset features a single lever handle for controlling both water temperature and flow.
- Turning On/Off: Lift the lever handle to turn on the water. Push the lever down to turn off the water.
- Adjusting Flow: The height to which you lift the lever controls the water flow rate. A higher lift provides more flow.
- Adjusting Temperature: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The central position provides mixed water.
- Drain Operation: The faucet includes a drain. Use the pull-rod located at the back of the faucet to open and close the drain stopper.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your GROHE faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: The GROHE StarLight chrome finish is highly durable. Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome finishes. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Cleaning: If water flow decreases or becomes irregular, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris or mineral deposits, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- General Inspection: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion. Tighten connections if necessary.
