Operating Instructions
One-Handle Lever Operation:
The single lever handle controls both water temperature and flow. Move the handle left for hot water, right for cold water, and up to increase flow, down to decrease flow.
Pulldown Spray Head:
The pulldown spray head features the Reflex system for smooth extension and secure docking. Simply pull the spray head down from the spout to use. When finished, guide it back into place, and the Reflex system will ensure it docks securely.
MotionSense Hands-Free Operation:
The MotionSense technology allows for hands-free activation. A simple hand movement near the sensor on the faucet body will trigger the flow of water. Another movement will turn it off. This feature provides convenience when your hands are full or dirty.
Spray Functions:
The spray head offers multiple functions:
- Aerated Stream: Ideal for everyday cleaning tasks.
- Pause Function: Allows you to temporarily stop water flow from the spray head, useful for moving the spray head between tasks without splashing.
- Powerful Rinse (Power Clean): Engages a concentrated spray for heavy-duty cleaning, providing 50% more spray power.
Soap/Lotion Dispenser:
To use the integrated soap/lotion dispenser, simply press down on the pump head. Refill by lifting the pump head and pouring liquid into the reservoir from above the counter.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Finish:
The Spot Resist Stainless finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots. To clean, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
General Care:
- Regularly check for leaks around connections and tighten if necessary.
- Clean the aerator periodically to remove mineral buildup, which can affect water flow. Unscrew the aerator, rinse it under running water, and reattach.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Moen 87340ESRS faucet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed shut-off valve; kinked supply line. | Clean aerator; ensure shut-off valves are fully open; check supply lines for kinks. |
| Leaks from Faucet Base | Loose mounting nut; worn O-rings. | Tighten mounting nut; contact customer support for replacement O-rings if necessary. |
| MotionSense Not Responding | Sensor obstruction; power supply issue (if applicable, though this model is not battery-powered for MotionSense). | Ensure sensor is clean and unobstructed; verify water supply is on. |
| Spray Head Does Not Retract Fully | Hose weight improperly positioned or obstructed. | Check the position of the hose weight and ensure it moves freely under the sink. |
