Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Pfister Eagan Kitchen Faucet. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with plumbing procedures.

1. Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink area is clean and clear. This faucet is designed for 1 to 4-hole installations. If your sink has more than one hole, use the included optional deckplate to cover unused holes.
2. Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the main water supply valves under your sink and turn them off completely. Open the existing faucet to relieve any remaining water pressure.
3. Remove Old Faucet: Disconnect the supply lines from the old faucet and remove any mounting hardware. Carefully lift and remove the old faucet.
4. Install New Faucet: Place the new Pfister Eagan faucet and, if applicable, the deckplate into the desired sink hole(s). Secure the faucet from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Ensure the faucet is oriented correctly.
5. Connect Supply Lines: Connect the integrated 36-inch PE-RT supply lines from the faucet to your hot and cold water supply valves. The fittings are 3/8-inch female. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn, being careful not to overtighten.
6. Install Soap Dispenser: Insert the soap dispenser into its designated hole on the sink or deckplate. Secure it from underneath with the provided nut. Fill the dispenser with liquid soap.
7. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves. Check all connections for leaks. Run the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris and check for proper operation.

Operating Instructions

Your Pfister Eagan Kitchen Faucet is designed for ease of use and efficiency.

• Water Flow and Temperature: The single lever handle controls both water flow 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: Grasp the spray head and pull it down from the spout. The flexible hose allows for extended reach.
• Spray Modes: The spray head features two water settings: 'Spray' and 'Stream'. Press the button on the spray head to switch between these modes.
• Autodock Advanced Spray Head Docking: When finished, guide the spray head back towards the spout. The Autodock system ensures a secure and tight magnetic connection, keeping the spray head firmly in place.
• Soap Dispenser: Press the top of the soap dispenser to dispense liquid soap. Refill by lifting the dispenser head and pouring soap into the reservoir.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Pfister Eagan Faucet.
