Setup and Installation
The Moen Graeden faucet is designed for a 3-hole installation on a bathroom sink deck. Ensure your sink configuration matches this requirement before proceeding. The maximum recommended deck thickness is 1.19 inches, and the connection size is 3/8 inch.
Pre-Installation Steps:
- Turn off the main water supply to your bathroom.
- Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
- Gather all necessary tools, which typically include an adjustable wrench, plumber's putty or silicone sealant, and a screwdriver.
Installation Procedure:
- Position the faucet body onto the sink deck, ensuring the handles align correctly with the hot and cold water inlets.
- Secure the faucet from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware. Tighten nuts evenly to prevent tilting.
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten connections, being careful not to overtighten.
- Install the drain assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions, applying plumber's putty or silicone sealant as required to ensure a watertight seal.
- Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply and check for leaks.
- Run water through the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the lines.

Operating Instructions
Your Moen Graeden faucet features two lever handles for precise control over water temperature and flow.
- Cold Water: Rotate the right lever handle counter-clockwise to activate cold water.
- Hot Water: Rotate the left lever handle counter-clockwise to activate hot water.
- Temperature Control: Adjust the mix of hot and cold water by positioning both handles to achieve your desired temperature.
- Flow Control: The further you rotate the handles, the greater the water flow. Return the handles to the off position to stop water flow.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your Moen Graeden faucet.
Cleaning the Finish:
- The Spot Resist Brushed Nickel finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots.
- Clean the faucet with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish and void the warranty.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to maintain its luster.
General Maintenance:
- Periodically check all connections under the sink for any signs of leaks. Tighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- If water flow decreases, the aerator at the end of the spout may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator, clean any debris, and reattach.
