5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your EISL Washbasin Faucet:
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the main water supply is turned off. Clear the area around the washbasin hole.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the single hole on your washbasin. From underneath the basin, secure the faucet using the provided mounting hardware (gasket, washer, and nut). Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Hoses: Attach the flexible hot and cold water hoses to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply lines. Ensure connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final quarter turn.
- Install Eccentric Fitting: Assemble the 1 1/4 inch eccentric fitting (pop-up waste) according to its separate instructions and install it into the drain hole of your washbasin. Connect the operating rod from the faucet to the eccentric fitting.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. If any leaks are detected, tighten the connections further.
6. Operating Instructions
The EISL Vico faucet features a single lever for controlling water flow and temperature, and a pull-out spray for extended reach.
- Water Flow and Temperature: Lift the single lever handle to increase water flow. Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The further you move the lever, the higher the temperature or colder the water will be.
- Pull-out Spray: Gently pull the spout head to extend the integrated spray hose. This allows for greater flexibility in directing water. Push the spout head back into the faucet body when finished.
- Eccentric Fitting (Pop-up Waste): The drain stopper is operated by a small lever located on the back or side of the faucet body. Push down the lever to close the drain and pull up to open it.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome finishes. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Do not use abrasive cleaners, acids, or solvents.
- Aerator Cleaning: If water flow decreases, the aerator at the end of the spout may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator, clean any debris, and rinse it under running water before reattaching.
- Cartridge Replacement: The faucet is equipped with a low-noise, replaceable ceramic cartridge. If you experience persistent drips or difficulty controlling water temperature/flow, the cartridge may need replacement. Contact a qualified plumber or EISL customer support for assistance.
8. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed shut-off valve; kinked supply hose. | Clean aerator; ensure shut-off valves are fully open; check supply hoses for kinks. |
| Water leaks from spout | Worn cartridge. | Replace the ceramic cartridge. |
| Water leaks from base of faucet | Loose mounting nut; damaged gasket. | Tighten mounting nut; inspect and replace gasket if damaged. |
